Americans Find Ford, GM, Chrysler Most Appealing Car Makers

A recent survey of American car owners performed by J.D. Power and Associates found the Detroit brands are more appealing to owners than other makes and models by European and Asian manufacturers. Owners are more enthusiastic and satisfied with the American brands. This is the first time in 13 years that the three American companies, Ford, GM and Chrysler, have collectively landed ahead of the competition in the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout study. The best part of this news is that the Uftring Auto Group conveniently carries all three of these great makes.

2010 Ram 1500

From Chevrolet, the new Chevy Camaro and the Chevy Equinox performed very well. Chrysler saw great results out of the Ram, and this was the first year that Ram stood on its own as a brand. Ford received top ratings in five different segments, more top ratings than any other brand, for the Flex, Expedition, Explorer Sport Trac pickup, Fusion and Taurus vehicles.

2010 Ford Taurus

The good news for you is that you're able to join in with these satisfied vehicle owners. The Uftring Auto Group offers all three of these great American brands throughout our dealerships. You can visit the Uftring Automall to drive a Ford, see Jim McComb Chevrolet or Uftring Chevrolet in Washington for your Chevy needs, or stop by Uftring Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Pekin to get your Chrysler fix. We have a great mix of new and used models for you to choose from. Needless to say, this is great news for anyone looking at picking up an American brand, or someone simply shopping for a high quality car they will be satisfied with long after they leave the dealership.

The Uftring Auto Group Assembles in East Peoria

It's a special time of the year when the Uftring Auto Group dealerships in Peoria are all able to assemble in one place. We're sort of like the Justice League of car dealers. Our superpowers consist of finding and offering an array of fabulous cars at great prices, and when we get together good things happen.

Right now we're all together in one location, the East Peoria Event Center, where we have over 600 used cars on the lot for your picking. Yeah, over 600 cars! It's a bit overwhelming at first, but you can never have too much of a good thing. Pre-owned cars from 12 franchises are there, including Chrysler, General Motors, Ford, and many imports like Nissan and Land Rover. It's likely that we have many if not most of your favorite makes and models.  With over 600 choices, you are bound to find something you like. If you're looking to sell your car we can buy it! This relationship works both ways, and we love to have great pre-owned inventory.

It might be hot outside and the deals on the cars may be scorching, but you can keep cool inside the event center and shop at the same time in the convenience of air conditioning.  We have financing as low as 0.9% and 1.9% for 60 months. Going any lower than that is probably illegal, so we won't do it. We'll also have CEFCU personnel on site for your convenience. Make sure to check out our ad below for all of the details. Come out to the East Peoria Event Center and see all of the Uftring Auto Group cars for yourself. This is the best and biggest selection of used cars you'll find in the Peoria area, complete with great savings and super friendly staff. Hope to see you guys out there!

The Big Winner at Uftring Chrysler Dodge Jeep

Randy Whitehurst of Creve Coeur just won this beautiful high definition 47" Vizio LCD television from Uftring Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Pekin! He was in the store the other week to order a manual for his Dodge Ram truck, when he noticed the raffle for the television. Whereas many people stuffed the box with multiple entries, Randy only entered once.

 Salesperson Chris Stewart and the big winner Randy Whitehurst

It was all he needed. He actually received the television before the truck manual. Guess he's got something to keep him occupied while waiting to learn more about that Dodge Ram! Plus he was able to put the Ram to good use as he loaded the 47" television in the bed of the truck and hauled it back home. Thanks to all who entered. Congratulations Randy! We hope you and your family enjoy that high definition goodness from Uftring Chrysler Dodge Jeep. Don't forget to come back for your Dodge Ram manual.

Jaguar XJ, Nissan Juke & Happy 4th of July Peoria!

There are so many dealerships here in the Uftring Auto Group that it can be tough to keep up with all of the new vehicles being released and announced. We're not complaining though, there are some great vehicles being released with more heavy hitters arriving throughout the fall. If you haven't done so already, you should check out our Jaguar dealership site. We've got new information up about the 2011 Jaguar XJ and its variants, and we also have three new 2011 Jaguar XJs in our inventory. This car is leading the charge in an exciting and bold new design direction for Jaguar. It's a huge departure from their previous work and it looks fantastic.

 

Speaking of bold new directions, the Nissan Juke will be coming this fall. Think of an SUV coupled with a sports coupe. It's got a killer look to it that really sets it apart from anything else on the road. This is an extremely cool crossover vehicle and you'll be able to see it at Uftring Nissan in October. It's a hot vehicle and we can't wait to drive it and offer you the chance to do the same. Check out our Nissan Juke info page for more details and pictures.

Back at the Jaguar Land Rover site, have a page up about the Land Rover LR2, which is a great SUV for the Peoria area and Illinois as a whole. It's a luxury SUV that you can afford, and make sure you take a look into our used LR2 models. In addition, we've posted our Jaguar Land Rover staff up on the website so that you can begin familiarizing yourself with them. They're a great group of people who are top notch and passionate about what they do.

We here at the Uftring Auto Group hope that you have a happy, fun, and safe 4th of July weekend. Hooray for freedom! Drive safely this weekend in Peoria, or wherever you go in Illinois and beyond.
