Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC

After two relatively mild summers, a massive heatwave has hit the Lake Area. The temperatures have been hovering in the mid to upper nineties for the past several weeks, and though we might experience a brief reprieve this weekend, the temperatures are expected to remain high. This is a good thing overall, because hot temperatures lend themselves to great fun in the water and the other attractions/activities at the Lake of the Ozarks. However, they can also take a toll on your vehicle if you aren't careful! Improving Your Summer Fuel Economy Between summer vacations, road trips, holiday weekends, and day trips, most people probably put several miles on their cars in the summertime - which can add up to a significant amount of money spent in gas over the summer months. Though some vehicles innately get better gas mileage than others, there are some things you can to help improve your fuel economy. In a couple of weeks, we will take a closer look at some of the things you sho...

We've all seen them - the drivers who drift in and out of their lines, the drivers who speed up at yellow lights to blast through the intersections at the last minute, the drivers who follow a little too closely behind the cars in front of them, etc. If we're being completely honest, we probably have to admit that we may have even been those drivers at some points in time. Some traffic violations have become so common that we may even forget that they are, in fact, violations. This week, Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is here to take a closer look at some of the most common traffic violations in the United States. Most Common Traffic Violations Here is a quick overview of some of the most common traffic violations drivers commit every single day: Texting and driving Not wearing a seat belt Driving without a driver's license, auto insurance, or vehicle registration Drifting in and out of lanes Not using the turn signal Speeding Driving on the shoulder Running ...

If you are looking for a new car at the Lake of the Ozarks that offers a little extra cargo space, Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is sure to have the vehicle for you. 2016 Chevrolet Trax This all-new crossover SUV rises to every new challenge, from busy city streets to long highway drives.

Perhaps with the exception of people who live in big cities with easy access to public transportation, Americans rely almost exclusively on their personal vehicles to get from Point A to Point B. Our cars, trucks, and motorcycles take us everywhere - to work, to school, to family, to friends, to the grocery store, and back home again. Many of us take this ease of transportation for granted, but it is important to acknowledge that it would be largely impossible (or at the very least, much harder) without the constant assistance of some of America's most valuable individuals: the men and women who dedicate their careers to keeping our vehicles running smoothly. Automotive Service Professionals Week This weekly observance originated as National Automotive Service Professionals Day in 2001. In 2005, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) expanded the observation to an entire week in order to better recognize the incredible commitment and dedication of t...
