Lease This: Cadillac SRX & CTS

Peoria, would you like to drive one of the hottest cars on the road? If you answered yes to that question, we have an affordable way to make that a reality.

And we actually have two cars for you to choose from.

2011 Cadillac CTS

We want to give you a heads up on a deal you'll be glad to know about if you're interested in a Cadillac. Right now Uftring Weston has a great lease offer on the 2011 Cadillac SRX and the 2011 Cadillac CTS, where you can lease either a CTS or an SRX for just $369 a month.

Yes, that is incredibly low.

But, this deal is only running through next Monday, September 26, so if you want to take advantage you'll need to do so quickly. We still have an excellent selection of both vehicles to choose from.

Check out our official SRX and CTS lease page for details and cars. Then stop by or give us a call. Happy shopping!

Be A Neighbor This September

Mr. Rogers opened up his classic television program singing about the beauty and joy of being a neighbor. He even named his show "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood." In fact, he went one step further and asked you to be his neighbor.  It's safe to say that Mr. Rogers knew and believed in the power of community. Peoria has its fair share of citizens and organizations who, like Mr. Rogers, want to be great neighbors.

Neighborhood House has served as a Safe Haven on the south side of Peoria for nearly 115 years. They provide for the social, material, and emotional needs of families, serving infants to elderly. All through the month of September the Uftring Auto Group is actively supporting Neighborhood House. We're excited to be partnering with them for our Uftring Ambassador initiative for the month.

Neighborhood House

We need your help though, as we can't do it alone. Would you consider being a neighbor this September? If donating to Neighborhood House sounds like something you would like to do, then please join us! Donating non-perishable food items and personal hygiene items will help them further their mission and help those in need.

So what do they need? There is an immediate need for diapers and baby formula. They are also in need of the following non-perishable food items: soup, canned vegetables, canned fruit, fruit juices, boxed meals, etc. Personal hygiene items needed include toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap, with travel sizes preferred.

You can find collection bins in each of our six dealerships near the reception desk and also by the parts, service, and body shop areas. Thank you in advance for your support.

You can find out more by visiting the Neighborhood House website.

Save $500 Bonus Cash On Silverado Trucks Through Labor Day

Labor Day only comes but once a year. It's a special day in that many Americans are fortunate enough to catch a break from work and enjoy a three day weekend. Hopefully you will be able to relax, lay some steaks out on the grill, maybe watch a parade, and simply enjoy time with friends and family.

This Labor Day will be extra special for any of you who are interested in a brand new 2011 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. Or an Avalanche. Or a Tahoe and Suburban as well. It's tough to fit all of those big tough trucks and SUVs into one little sentence. It could collapse into fragments, which is exactly what happened.

Not only will you be able to take a break from work (hopefully), you'll also be able to take a break on your wallet (definitely). Chevy has just announced that you will automatically receive an extra $500 off of your truck purchase through Labor Day, and that offer is in addition to the rest of the offers already available. See us for details.

Lucky for you, the Uftring Auto Group has not one but two Chevy dealerships in the Peoria area. This means an absolutely huge selection of new 2011 Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and Avalanche trucks. We've got nearly 140 new Silverados to choose from! What could you use a new Chevy truck or SUV for? Whether it's hauling massive loads of firewood, your yacht (ok it's a small fishing boat), or your family, our selection is up to the most challenging tasks.

Please visit our Chevy Labor Day Savings pages at Uftring Chevy in Washington and Uftring Weston Chevrolet in Peoria to find out more and to browse our latest selection of trucks. If our huge selection still doesn't do it for you, please call us and tell us what you're looking for. We'd be more than happy to locate it for you. Happy Labor Day!

Range Rover Evoque Lands In Peoria

It's probably the hottest vehicle coming out this year, and this Thursday and Friday you'll be able to see it, touch it, and even drive it.

The Range Rover Evoque, launching this fall, will be making a two day appearance at Land Rover of Peoria this week from Thursday, August 25 through Friday, August 26. We're extremely excited and elated at the opportunity to experience this vehicle firsthand and to share that experience with you.

The 2012 Range Rover Evoque

So why should you visit us this Thursday and Friday to see the Range Rover Evoque in person? Well, just one look at the Evoque and it should be a no-brainer for you. Just in case that doesn't work, we've provided some reasons.

1) Breathtaking good looks. It's the winner of the Car Design of the Year Award. This award is voted on by auto designers themselves, so the Evoque got the nod from its peers who know design in and out. If you don't trust their opinion, just look at it. It's gorgeous.

2) This is the most affordable Range Rover ever built. It's bringing the performance, luxury, amenities, and experience of the Range Rover brand to a new segment of buyers. For those who are already used to the high standards set by the Evoque's Range Rover siblings, you absolutely won't be disappointed in the build quality of the materials (including soft leather and striking metal accents), impeccable craftsmanship, or intuitively laid out design. It is a Range Rover, after all, and only the best earn the right to wear the badge.

3) The Evoque still possesses Range Rover's legendary off-road capability. Though this is a Range Rover built for the beaten path first, it's absolutely no slouch traversing through mud, rock, snow, or a rushing stream. There is plenty of off road fun to be had with the Evoque.

4) Unique for each owner. The first choice you'll have to make is whether to pick the coupe or the 4-door, but that's just the beginning. There are over 50 ways to configure your Range Rover Evoque, from the leather, to the trim, to the sound system, to how many cameras you'd like and beyond.

5) It's fun to drive. Of course its looks are killer, has an amazing interior cabin, and an avalanche of accessories and options to choose from, but at the end of the day, the Evoque is a car where you just want to sit behind the wheel and drive.

The two-door coupe version

Feel free to come by any time on Thursday and Friday to see the Evoque in person, we'll have three on site for your enjoyment. Find out just how well the Range Rover Evoque drives by setting up an appointment with us on Friday for a test drive. Give Janet a call at (309) 690-6100. Space is limited and test drives will not be offered without a prior appointment in place.

We hope to see you this Thursday or Friday!

Have You Taken The Challenge?

It isn't every day you get paid for driving a car. Well, unless you're a truck driver and it's your profession (there's an exception to every rule). But if you aren't a truck driver, you could get paid for driving one of our cars.

Potentially.

All you have to do is visit Uftring Chevy Saab in Washington and test drive one of our cars. It can be any car. You could drive the least expensive pre-owned car on our lot (currently a 1998 Dodge Dakota), or the most expensive (a 2011 Chevy Corvette ZR1). It matters not. Test drive any car and we'll automatically enter you to win $500 Challenge Cash that Saturday. You don't even have to show up to win! See how easy we're making this?

There is absolutely no purchase necessary to enter the contest. You will only be entered once a week regardless of how many test drives you take, but you are welcome to enter every week if you'd like! We've already given away $1000 in Challenge Cash this month. We're so confident in our selection and prices that we're not afraid to give money away. The challenge is out. The ball is in your court now. Don't miss out on your opportunity to claim the prize for the remaining two Saturdays in August.

Visit the official Challenge Cash page for more info, and contact our dealership for details and official rules. You can even sign up for a test drive online, or do things the old fashioned way with a phone call or simply by walking into our dealership. Just hold your hands out and ask for some keys.

We'll see you behind the wheel.
