Chevy Santana - Sales Department

 

Chevy Santana

 

We are excited to share that Chevy Santana of Yuba City has joined Hoblit Motors in the Sales Department. Chevy never thought that he would follow in his father footsteps, Carlos Santana, who has been in the industry for 20 years now. However, cars were always of interest to him and has great product knowledge of many vehicle makes. With customer satisfaction as his number one priority, he would easily be described as someone that is laid back and not pushy towards his customers. What he has enjoyed most about being at Hoblit Motors is that it is a family atmosphere.

In his spare time, Chevy enjoys working out and competing and watching sports such as baseball, football and basketball. If you would like to contact Chevy Santana, you can reach him at the office at 530-458-2151 or on his cell at 530-923-3960.

DEF - Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used to reduce NOx emissions. It is a mixture of deionized water and chemically pure Urea. This is not a product that you add to your diesel fuel. There is a separate 15-20 gallon holding tank where it is injected into the diesel exhaust system. Your vehicle will not properly operate without DEF. When DEF levels are low, you will notice a loss of horsepower, and when it is absent, your vehicle will only be able to go a limited speed and eventually idle mode only.
Your instrument panel should have a gauge that will notify you when levels are becoming low. For any other questions on DEF contact our service department at 530-458-2151. http://www.hoblitmotorsford.com/service-department/

Hoblit Motors 1949

Hoblit Motors Ford was first founded in Colusa in 1949 by Morley Hoblit “MD” and Wayne Hoblit in a 50/50 partnership. Wayne bought out MD after a 20 year partnership due to health issues in 1969. Some cool facts, in 1949, the average car cost $1,650, gasoline was $36 cents/gallon, bread was 14 cents/loaf and minimum wage was 40 cent/hr.

Wayne had two children, Beverly and David. After serving in the US Air Force, David returned to Colusa to work with his Father at the dealership. David transitioned into ownership in the 1970′s. The eldest of Dave’s three sons, Chris, joined with his father at Hoblit Motors after graduating college. Wayne is still involved in the leasing program here at Hoblit Motors.

Now in 2013, the average car costs approx. $30,000, gas is almost $4/gallon, but thanks to Ford, we have fuel efficient vehicles such as the C-Max and Fusion Hybrid. Check out these fuel efficient options and specials at: http://www.hoblitmotorsford.com/search/new/tp/?q=&md=108-fusion&md=1189-cmax_hybrid&en=1235-gaselectric_i4_20l122

How to Winterize your car

With Winter right around the corner, we wanted to give a nine great tips to make sure that your vehicle is safe for the upcoming weather changes.

1) Check the freeze point of your Anti-Freeze - If it is not the correct ratio of water to anti-freeze, it is suggested to flush it to the correct ratio. If this is not done, it could result it cracked blocks.
2) Have your oil checked - Oil tends to get thicker in colder weather, so you need to make sure you have the proper oil to lubricate your engine.
3) Tires - Make sure that your tire pressure is correct and that there isn't a significant amount of wear.
4) Air Filters - Need to be clean.
5) Belts and hoses- Especially your serpentine belt, which is your fan belt.
6) Brakes - With rain and snow, make sure that your brakes are in good shape. Switch to snow tires if needed.
7) Wiper Blades- Your visibility is not only essential to your safety, but also to those around you.
8) Four Wheel Drive- If you haven't used it during the summer months, have it checked that it's in correct working condition.
9) Battery - Check for corrosion and that it has plenty of water.

If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 530-458-2151.
If you would like to schedule an appointment to have your vehicle winterized call 530-458-2151 or go online to http://www.hoblitmotorsford.com/service-appointment/
