"Hey Dave, I just picked up my brand new black Charger. Can you recommend anything to keep it looking like it just rolled out of the showroom?"
 Jeff - Kennett Square, PA
 
"Jeff, there are literally
hundreds of products out there for people like you, who are particular about their vehicle's finish.  One product that we've had a lot of success with and that
I can highly recommend, because we use it in our Detailing Dept., is Xzilon.  Xzilon makes a product for keeping your car's interior and exterior looking their sparkling best and black cars especially, always look best when they are extra clean.  Part of Xzilon's effectiveness is their patented microfiber towels that are used to apply and wipe off the product. Give our Parts Dept. a call.  We always have it in stock because we use it on our cars every day. Send us some pics of your Xzilon-ized new Charger when you get a chance."

Thanks for your business.
Dave

George Ferrara Ad
We Will Miss You George!


All of us at David were deeply saddened to learn that our Controller at David Dodge and our
dear friend George Ferrara passed away suddenly last month. George was a true gentleman. He will be missed more than words can describe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with George's wife, Steph, his sons George Jr. and Michael, his daughter Gina and his new granddaughter Isabella Marie as they deal with this sad event.

George was a veteran of the car business and was always quick with a great story or joke among friends. He was a true professional.  Before he joined our team, he worked for his family-owned Ferrara dealership in New Jersey for many years. Those of us who knew and loved George, and who worked beside him everyday, were shocked by his sudden passing.  He is truly irreplaceable. We're so sad that George cannot continue the journey with us, but we will hold the memory of him in our hearts forever.

Donations in his memory may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.  If you knew George and have a fond memory or story, we'd love to hear from you. Post a comment on our blog!

2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan Take Home 2008 International Car of the Year (ICOTY) Awards
Minivans

Once again, our "family rooms on wheels" have been awarded highest honors.
The '08 Chrysler Town & Country earned first-place in two categories, International Truck of the Year and The Most Compatible Minivan of the Year. The '08 Dodge Grand Caravan earned second place in The Most Compatible Minivan of the Year category as well. In addition, the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan "Rooms" television spot won The Heart String Award from the ICOTY jury for the most emotionally compelling car advertisement.

As the fifth generation of industry leading minivans, the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan are designed to be "family rooms on wheels," with each offering distinct advantages in the areas of safety, fuel economy, functionality and design.
Among the all-new minivans' 35 new or improved features are:
 ·  Swivel n' Go(TM) seat system, the Stow n' Go(R) seating system and a second- row bench seat with fold-in-the-floor third-row seat. Swivel n' Go offers second-row seats that swivel 180 degrees to face the third row with a removable table that installs between the two rows, covered storage bins in the second-row floor, third-row uncovered storage and fold-in-the-floor third-row seating
· Standard safety equipment such as advanced multi-stage driver and low-risk deployment air bags
· Entertainment features including SIRIUS Backseat TV featuring 3
family friendly channels (Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and
Nickelodeon Mobile) and a dual DVD entertainment system
· One-touch power third row folding seat
· 13 cup or bottle holders

Chrysler invented the modern minivan segment in 1983 and has been the innovation and sales leader in the segment ever since, selling more than 12 million minivans worldwide to date and pioneering more than 60 minivan or industry-first features.

The ICOTY awards are voted on by a panel representing a variety of automotive media. The ICOTY awards honor vehicles made in all countries around the world that are sold in North America. The awards are a salute to automakers and their teams for their success in connecting with consumers. J.D. Power tabulated the jury votes.

LojackLogo
A vehicle is stolen every 26.4 seconds in the U.S. Last year alone, 1.2 million vehicles were stolen across the country.

David Dodge
is Your Authorized LoJack Dealer!
 Depending upon where you live and what make and model you drive, you may be at risk. There is little you can do to prevent a car from being stolen. Alarms and other deterrents are not enough. However, with LoJack you can take control and ensure that if your car is stolen, you'll get it back.

Take control and protect your vehicle with LoJack. The patented LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System includes a small Radio Frequency transceiver hidden in one of up to 20 places in your vehicle. Each LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System has a unique code that is tied to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). When a vehicle theft is reported to the police, a routine entry into the state police crime computer results in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This automatically activates the LoJack Unit in your vehicle, which emits an inaudible signal. Law enforcement authorities who are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers-in their police cars and aviation units-are always listening for a LoJack signal. Police use the LoJack Police Tracking Computers to track and recover your stolen LoJack-equipped vehicle. Ask your Sales Specialist for complete details and special introductory pricing.

With LoJack, you can be confident that your vehicle is being protected, and that a LoJack Unit will help police track and recover your vehicle if it is stolen. We GUARANTEE it! Just ask for LoJack when you visit David Dodge in Glen Mills.

** PA, NJ & DE Residents:
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System saves you money - as much as 25% - on your comprehensive insurance premiums. For more information, check with your insurance agent.
