Why is Vin Etch Important??- Scranton Motors of Vernon Explains!

The definition of Vin Etch courtesy of wikipedia -  VIN etching is a countermeasure to motor vehicle theft. It most commonly involves the use of a stencil and glass etching paste to etch a vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) onto the windshield and windows. Thieves would need to replace the glass before selling the stolen vehicle, thus reducing or eliminating their profit.[1] VIN etching can increase the odds of recovery of car by police.[2]

At Scranton Motors, We Vin Etch ALL of our vehicles.  Not only is it a theft deterrent, it also can save some customers money depending on their insurance carrier.  Whether you live in a rural or urban community, a safety feature and theft deterrent is never a bad thing. 

Most customers have NO IDEA whether they have vin-etching on their vehicle as it is hardly noticeable.  The next time you head towards your vehicle, take a look at the windows bottom right side for a vin number. 

If you would like more information on VIN ETCHING, you can stop down to our dealership, Scranton Motors, right on Route 83 in Vernon Connecticut ANYTIME to talk to a professional about this and all of the other features available to customers and their vehicles. 

Keeping YOU In The Loop!

We could talk about warranties, GAP insurance, incentives and rebates.  We could talk about the future events coming up here at Scranton Motors in Vernon Connecticut.  I've thought of something better.  With all the talk of Bankruptcy, Banks floundering, Credit card debt...let's talk about how a family owned dealership survived what some are calling a recession...a fiasco...and have resurrected the name, the franchises and the direction of the automotive industry with hard work, dedication and loyalty to the customers and what it means to serve your community.

Its always been the same theory here at Scranton Motors: Customer satisfaction.  What can we offer to customers that not every other dealership can. Customer satisfaction.  Let's face it....the vehicles we have here can be found in other places as well.  With the way technology is, the average consumer can now pick out a vehicle, see every detail of that particular vehicle, get the most aggressive price even before entering a dealership.

But what will not EVER change in this business, is the feeling of being properly served and treated by the dealership you choose.  Far too often, we hear horror stories of bad experiences that people have had to now only make them defensive to future delaership experiences.

What we try to express everyday to our customers is the simple idea of treating our customers how we would like to be treated.  In place for our new vehicle customers is a survey after the purchase which goes through several channels and rates all of our departments from Sales to service to finance.  It gives the customer a chance to let all parties involved know how there experience was.

Here, on a more personal note, we have designed a family friendly atmosphere for customers to feel welcome and at home; to feel like a person and not a number.  You can find Mr. Scranton at the dealership on a daily basis talking to customers whether it be service or sales; our sales managers don't feel the need to sit behind computer screens and offices; rather shake your hand and understand where your coming from.  Our sales consultants are down to earth with the idea to listen to customers needs and wants first.

Scranton Motors has weathered the storm.  We are now a three franchise dealership: Buick, GMC and Cadillac.  We also have a new program in place for customers who have weathered the economic rollercoaster but had some troubles along the way.  Our Credit Acceptance Program has helped many customers who thought they would never be able to buy a vehicle again.  We still play an active roll with helping any way possible with the Channel 3 Kids Camp and throughout the summer, you can see us sponsoring different golf tournaments for good causes. 

There are still the same familiar faces as always and a showroom full of laughs and expertise all rolled into one. 

We look forward to serving our loyal customers and future ones as well..  As our motto states: Scranton Motors- Live the difference!!

Review : Buick’s expansive Enclave

BY BILL HEALD ReminderNews

08/19/2010

If there’s one thing GM has been unusually good at, it’s building big, solid vehicles that combine comfort with excellent utility. This has been especially true for their line of big SUVs, and since they’ve decided to retire their minivan platform (for the time-being , anyway), this role has been superseded by their big new crossover SUVs, including Chevy, GMC and Buick versions of the same platform. We’re going to spend some quality time this week with the Buick Enclave, which is arguably the most luxurious of the bunch, and a very impressive family-hauler .



Click the thumbnails above to see the full size pictures.The Enclave is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive in two trim levels (CX, and CXL). All variants are powered by a 3.6-liter V6, and the smooth-idling mill develops 288 horsepower and channels said muscle to all four wheels in our AWD tester through a six-speed automatic transmission, the lone gearbox available. The drivetrain suits the vehicle well, and power is sufficient to push the 5,000-pound vehicle to 60 mph in around 9 seconds. Shifts are crisp, with good ratios – the only foible being a slight reluctance to downshift when passing until you really get on the gas. Handling is quite secure, and the big beast is actually pretty nimble in traffic, with a very compliant ride and an impressively solid feel on rough roads. With the optional ($455) towing package, the Enclave can pull a 4,500-pound trailer. The ABS brakes are sufficiently powerful, with acceptable stopping distances and good control. StabiliTrak, which is GM’s stability and traction control software, is standard, as is OnStar, with turn-by-turn navigation and automatic crash response.

Climb into the Enclave and you will experience room that nearly rivals a minivan (yet you still have conventional rear doors). The driver’s perch is a bit on the flat side, but quite commodious, and controls are a mixed bag of logical and atypical switch locations. By contrast , the analog instrumentation is very clear and concise. The real beauty of the Enclave is revealed when you haul the rest of your crew, for both the second and third rows are very expansive and well-furnished . The second row on our CXL had two bucket seats, with aisle access to the split bench third row. This rearward seating is roomy enough for two adults, and while the floor is a little high, it’s perfectly suitable for most individuals. With the third row folded, you have 67 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the second row folded as well, this expands to a whopping 115 cubic feet. All through the cabin , workmanship is excellent and the feeling is one of security and quality, with impressive attention to detail.

The Buick Enclave is a large crossover SUV that is as well-built as it is roomy, and is as pleasant to drive as it is to ride in. The 2010 Buick Enclave CXL-2 AWD is EPA-rated 16 MPG city/22 highway and has a base price of $43,995. With options including a navigation system , our MSRP came to $50,605. www. buick.com
