What Color are your Tires?

     I remember when I was growing up every kid in my neighborhood had a BMX Bicycle, and we would ride all day long it was our ticket to freedom. I will never forget the day that Matt Markey came home with a new set of tires for his BMX and they were RED.  Every kid on the block was GREEN with envy when he put them on his bike, this was the beginning of the original PIMP MY RIDE how to personalize your own bike when they all look the same.



     Fast forward almost 40 years and I'm standing in my service department looking at Colored Tires it brings back those memories of our tricked out BMX's but this time it has a whole new meaning.  What Dave Fredrickson has done is painted the tires to reflect tread wear and what condition your tires are actually in.
GREEN= They are good to go, this indicates optimal tread depth.
YELLOW = You Might have some reduced performance in Rain or snow.
RED = These tires are unsafe and it is time to replace them.

Come by to Harold Chevrolet Buick and check out our World Class Service Department, mention that you read this blog and receive a discount on your tire purchase.

Dealer Buys Local Cars For Cash


      I was sitting at home a few nights ago watching one of my favorite shows Pawnstars, a reality show based at a Las Vegas Pawn shop you get to watch people bring in all kinds of classic personal stuff and sell it to these guys. 


Here is a picture we took of Chumley
When we went to Visit him at
Gold and Silver Pawn Shop Las Vegas
 The part of the show that intrigued me the most was when people would sell their personal belongings for cash real cash $100 Bills.  I thought to myself why don't I just offer to buy peoples cars for cash so i had this sign made up and wouldn't you know it people actually came in and sold me their cars for cash.  So if you have a car laying around don't want to bother with selling it on your own, having people come to your house at all hours of the day wanting to take your car out for a joy ride?  Come by and see me Joe Hysong The Dealer for the People. You'll See why Harold Says Yes!
