Why Software Updates Matter for Your GM EV

Central Chevrolet’s Big E Traffic Cam Celebrates 10 Years of Helping Fairgoers Avoid Gridlock
WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – September 12, 2025 – Central Chevrolet is proud to announce the 10th anniversary of its popular Big E Traffic Cam, a live-streaming public service that has become an essential planning tool for thousands of attendees of The Eastern States Exposition. For a decade, the camera has provided a free, real-time view of traffic conditions on Memorial Avenue, one of the main arteries leading to the fairgrounds.
What began in 2015 as a simple initiative to help the local community has grown into an annual tradition for fairgoers across New England. Hosted on YouTube, the Central Chevy Big E Traffic Cam offers an unfiltered, live look at the vehicle queues, allowing visitors to make informed decisions about when to travel, which routes to take, or which gate to aim for, ultimately reducing travel time and frustration.
“We started the camera as a simple way to help our neighbors and customers navigate the inevitable Big E traffic,” said Edward O’Grady, Sales Manager at Central Chevrolet. “To see it now, ten years later, as an established part of the Big E experience for so many people is incredible. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for so long. We’re honored to be a small part of everyone’s annual trip to the fair.”
The Big E is the largest agricultural event on the eastern seaboard and the fifth-largest fair in North America, drawing over 1.6 million visitors in 2024. The corresponding traffic can present significant challenges for attendees. By providing this transparent view, Central Chevrolet empowers the community with valuable information to enhance their experience.
The live stream is active 24/7 throughout the duration of The Big E, which runs from September 12th to September 28th, 2025.

For many car buyers, the federal tax credit for electric vehicles (EVs) has been a significant incentive. However, with the credit’s initial expiration date of September 30, 2025, looming, potential buyers may have felt a sense of urgency. The good news is that the IRS has clarified a crucial detail that effectively extends the window to claim the credit, even for those who take possession of their vehicle after the deadline. This guide will walk you through this important extension and what it means for you as a customer.
Understanding the EV Tax Credit
First, it’s important to understand the basics of the federal EV tax credit, officially known as the Clean Vehicle Credit under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D. This credit is a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $7,500 for the purchase of a new, qualified plug-in electric vehicle or fuel cell vehicle. It was established by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to encourage the adoption of cleaner transportation. You can find detailed information on the official IRS website.
To be eligible, a new vehicle must meet several criteria, including:
- A battery capacity of at least 7 kilowatt hours.
- A gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds.
- Final assembly in North America.
- An MSRP that does not exceed specific caps ($80,000 for vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks; $55,000 for other vehicles).
The tax credit is available to individuals who buy the vehicle for their own use, not for resale, and use it primarily in the U.S. There are also Modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) limits for the buyer: $300,000 for married couples filing jointly, $225,000 for heads of households, and $150,000 for all other filers.
The Crucial Loophole: Extending the Deadline
The key piece of information that has extended the life of this credit is a loophole detailed by the IRS itself. While the initial deadline for placing a vehicle “in service” (taking possession of it) to claim the full credit was September 30, 2025, the IRS has confirmed that a buyer can still qualify if they have a written binding contract to purchase the vehicle and have made a nonrefundable payment or deposit on or before that date. This valuable extension provides a path to securing the credit even with potential delays in vehicle delivery, as noted in a recent Electrify News article.
This means that if you secure a vehicle with a contract and deposit before the September 30 deadline, you can still claim the tax credit even if the vehicle is delivered to you later. This is particularly beneficial in a market where vehicle delivery can be delayed due to supply chain issues, allowing you to lock in the credit without worrying about the final delivery date. The credit is claimed on your tax return for the year in which the vehicle is officially placed “in service.”
Stay Informed and Act Fast
This extension through a binding contract is a significant piece of information for anyone considering an EV purchase. It provides a valuable grace period and an opportunity to secure a tax benefit that may otherwise have been missed. By understanding the rules, AGI limits, and the specific requirements for both the buyer and the vehicle, you can confidently navigate your purchase and ensure you are positioned to claim this important credit. Always consult with a tax professional to discuss your specific situation and ensure you meet all the requirements.
WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA – Central Chevrolet today announced that it has been named a 2025 Top Dealer by CarGurus (Nasdaq: CARG), the No. 1 visited digital auto platform for shopping, buying, and selling new and used vehicles. The annual program, now in its 11th year, spotlights the top dealerships that consistently deliver exceptional customer service, value, and trust while embracing digital retail tools that enhance the shopper experience. Central Chevrolet earned honors as a Top Rated Dealer.
“For over a decade, the CarGurus Top Dealer Awards have recognized dealerships that lead with a customer-first approach, leveraging data and market intelligence to build trust and confidence throughout the shopping journey,” said Sam Zales, CarGurus President and Chief Operating Officer. “We’re proud to showcase dealers, such as Central Chevrolet, who are meeting shoppers where they are and delivering standout experiences across the online to in-store experience. ”The 2025 Top Dealer Awards provide unbiased validation of a dealer’s commitment to customer service. Selections are informed by verified customer reviews and analysis of vehicle listings data in the CarGurus platform. CarGurus Top Dealer Award categories include:
- Top Rated Dealer recognizes dealers with a proven track record of customer satisfaction. Winning dealerships have maintained a minimum average rating of 4.5 out of 5, with at least five new reviews in 2024.

CarGurus awards the top 100 dealers with the highest percentage of 2024 inventory rated as a “Good” or “Great” deal, based on its trusted deal rating algorithm.

This award spotlights the top 10 dealers with the highest share of 2024 inventory available for online transactions and robust consumer engagement across key actions like financing and deposits.
“At Central Chevrolet, delivering outstanding customer service is at the core of everything we do, and we’re proud that this recognition from CarGurus reflects that mission,” said Joe Volk, Dealer Principal. “This award speaks to our team’s dedication to building trust and guiding our customers with care through every step. We sincerely thank our customers for their continued support.”
Let’s be honest: buying a car can be one of the most stressful experiences you go through. Between high-pressure sales tactics, confusing numbers, and shocking “market adjustments” that inflate the price by thousands, it’s easy to feel like you’re in a battle. At Central Chevrolet, we think that’s just wrong.
We know that for most people in West Springfield, Chicopee, and across the Pioneer Valley, a car isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s how you get to work, take your kids to school, and connect with your community. When your old car gives out or your family needs more space, you need a partner you can trust, not an adversary.
That’s where we come in.
We’re Your Neighbors: The Power of a Family-Owned Dealership
Central Chevrolet isn’t some faceless corporation owned by a distant holding company. We are a family-owned and operated business, and our roots are planted firmly right here in the Western Massachusetts community. Our name is on the building, and our reputation is on the line with every single person who walks through our doors.
What does that mean for you?
- Accountability: We answer to you, our customer and neighbor, not to a boardroom hundreds of miles away.
- Longevity: We’ve been here for years, serving generations of local families. We plan on being here for many more, and that means building lasting relationships, not making quick, predatory sales.
- Community Focus: We live here, too. We sponsor local teams, participate in community events, and strive to be a positive force in the region we all call home.
When you shop with us, you’re not just a sales target; you’re a neighbor. We believe that’s the foundation of a better car buying experience.
Our Promise: Fair, Transparent, MSRP Pricing
Have you ever found the perfect car online, only to visit the dealership and find the price is thousands of dollars higher than advertised? Dealers call it a “market adjustment” or “dealer markup.” We call it unfair.
At Central Chevrolet, we are proud to sell our new vehicles at MSRP—the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price.
There are no hidden fees, no surprise markups, and no games. The price suggested by Chevrolet is the price you can expect to see. Why do we do this when so many others don’t? Because it’s the honest way to do business. We believe in transparency and building trust from the very first handshake. Your budget is important, and we respect it by providing clear, upfront pricing on every vehicle.
A Partner for Your Automotive Journey
Life happens. A trusted vehicle might suddenly break down, leaving you in a bind. A new job might mean a longer commute, requiring a more fuel-efficient car. A growing family might require a switch from a sedan to an SUV like the Chevy Equinox or Traverse.
We understand that you’re not always buying a car on a whim. Often, you’re looking for a solution to a real-life problem. Our team is trained to be consultants, not just salespeople. Our goal is to listen to your needs, understand your situation, and help you find the perfect Chevrolet that fits your life and your budget—without the pressure. We want to be the first place you think of when you need a vehicle, because you know you’ll be treated with respect and fairness.
Experience the Central Chevrolet Difference
If you’re tired of the typical dealership experience and are looking for a team that values integrity and community, we invite you to see the difference for yourself. As the go-to regional Chevrolet dealer for West Springfield and beyond, we’re here to prove that buying a car can and should be a positive, straightforward experience.
Come visit us at our showroom in West Springfield, browse our inventory online, or just give us a call. Let us be your partner in finding your next great vehicle.
The sound of screeching tires, the jolt of an impact—a car accident is a stressful and frightening experience. In the moments and days that follow, your focus shifts to safety, well-being, and the daunting task of navigating the insurance and repair process. During this time, your insurance company might suggest a “preferred” repair shop.
But before you agree, there’s something every driver in Chicopee, Springfield, and across the state needs to know: In Massachusetts, the law is on your side. You have the absolute right to have your vehicle repaired at the registered shop of your choice.
Here at the Central Chevrolet Collision Center, we believe an informed customer is an empowered customer. Let’s break down what this right means and why choosing a dealership-certified facility is the best decision for your vehicle.
Understanding the “Right to Repair” in Massachusetts
Insurance companies often have a network of “preferred” or “direct repair program” (DRP) shops. They may encourage or pressure you to use one of these facilities. This practice is known as “steering,” and Massachusetts law (940 CMR 5.06) explicitly protects you from it.
An insurer cannot force you to use a specific shop. Their only legal requirement is to provide you with a list of registered repair shops in your area. The final decision is, and always should be, yours.
Why Choose Central Chevrolet’s Certified Collision Center?
When your insurance company suggests a shop, it’s often because that shop has agreed to meet certain cost-saving targets for the insurer. But is their priority saving you money, or saving the insurance company money?
Our priority is different. We work for YOU. Our goal is to restore your Chevrolet to its pre-accident condition in terms of safety, performance, and appearance. Here’s why that makes a difference:
1. We Use Genuine OEM Parts
Our commitment is to use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts whenever possible. These are the same parts your Chevy was built with at the factory. They guarantee a perfect fit, maintain your vehicle’s structural integrity, and ensure safety systems like airbags and collision sensors function exactly as designed. Many DRP shops default to aftermarket or even salvaged parts to cut costs, which can compromise fit, finish, and safety.
2. Factory-Trained Technicians
Modern vehicles are incredibly complex. Repairing them correctly requires specialized knowledge of high-strength steels, advanced electronics, and specific factory procedures. Our technicians are factory-trained and I-CAR Gold Class certified, meaning they have the most up-to-date expertise to repair your Chevrolet the right way.
3. State-of-the-Art Equipment
From frame-straightening machines to advanced color-matching paint systems and tools for recalibrating Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), we have the manufacturer-approved equipment to do the job right. Your vehicle will not only look like new, but its vital safety systems will perform like new.
4. We Are Your Advocate
Navigating an insurance claim can be confusing. We work with ALL major insurance providers. We’ll meticulously assess the damage and negotiate directly with the adjuster to ensure your repair plan includes everything necessary to bring your vehicle back to factory specifications. We fight for the proper procedures and parts, so you don’t have to.
Your Trusted Partner After an Accident
An accident is disruptive enough. The repair process shouldn’t add to your stress. By exercising your right to choose, you are taking control and ensuring your valuable investment is repaired with the highest standards of quality and safety.
If you’ve been in a collision in Chicopee, Springfield, or anywhere in Western Mass, make your first call to the Central Chevrolet Collision Center in West Springfield. We’re here to guide you through every step of the process with professionalism and care.

That new car feeling—the flawless paint, the spotless interior, the fresh scent—is an experience every driver loves. But between New England weather, daily commutes on I-91, and the occasional coffee spill, it can be tough to maintain that pristine condition. That’s where the experts at 811 Detailing, located right here at Central Chevrolet in West Springfield, MA, come in.
Our professional detailing department isn’t just a car wash; it’s a dedicated facility designed to protect, restore, and enhance your vehicle’s appearance. Whether you’ve just purchased a brand new Chevy or want to rejuvenate the trusted car you’ve driven for years, we have a detailing package perfectly suited to your needs.
Let’s take a closer look at the exceptional services offered by our 811 Detailing team.
Why Professional Detailing is a Smart Investment
Before we dive into the packages, it’s important to understand what makes professional detailing different. Unlike a quick wash, detailing is a meticulous, top-to-bottom process that cleans and reconditions your vehicle inside and out. It helps to:
- Protect Your Investment: A professional detail, especially one with paint protection, preserves your vehicle’s resale value.
- Enhance Paint Longevity: Services like clay bar treatment and ceramic coatings remove contaminants and shield your paint from harsh elements like road salt, bird droppings, and UV rays.
- Improve Interior Health: Deep cleaning removes dust, allergens, and bacteria, creating a healthier environment for you and your passengers.
- Restore That “New Car” Feeling: There’s nothing quite like stepping into a vehicle that looks and smells brand new.
Explore Our 811 Detailing Packages
Our team has crafted a range of packages to provide the exact level of care your vehicle needs.
The Express Detail: Quick Refresh
Perfect for a vehicle that’s in good shape but needs a professional touch-up. This service is a significant step up from a standard car wash and is ideal for maintaining your vehicle’s cleanliness between more intensive details. It typically includes a thorough exterior wash, interior vacuuming, window cleaning, and a wipe-down of all interior surfaces.
The Full Detail: Complete Rejuvenation
This is our most popular package for a reason. The Full Detail is a comprehensive service that addresses every inch of your vehicle.
- Exterior: We start with a meticulous hand wash and dry. Then, we use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants from the paint surface, leaving it perfectly smooth. This is followed by a high-quality wax or sealant application to protect the paint and give it a brilliant shine. We don’t forget the details—tires, wheels, and trim are all cleaned and dressed.
- Interior: Your vehicle’s interior receives a complete transformation. We perform a deep vacuum, shampoo carpets and upholstery to remove stains and odors, and clean and condition all leather, vinyl, and plastic surfaces. From the dashboard to the door panels, every crevice is attended to.
The Ultimate: Ceramic Pro & Paint Protection Film (PPF)
For the ultimate in long-term protection and gloss, our 811 Detailing department specializes in professional-grade Ceramic Pro coatings and Paint Protection Film (PPF).
- Ceramic Pro: This isn’t a wax or sealant; it’s a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle’s factory paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic layer of protection. The benefits are incredible:
- Extreme Gloss: A deep, mirror-like finish that is unmatched.
- Hydrophobic Properties: Water, mud, and grime bead up and slide right off, making your car easier to clean.
- Protection: Creates a hard-wearing barrier against minor scratches, UV damage, oxidation, and chemical stains.
- Paint Protection Film (PPF): Often called a “clear bra,” PPF is a transparent, self-healing film applied to high-impact areas of your vehicle like the front bumper, hood, and side mirrors. It provides superior protection against rock chips, scratches, and road debris that can permanently damage your paint.
Trust the Professionals at 811 Detailing
Your vehicle is one of your most significant assets. Don’t trust its care to just anyone. The 811 Detailing team at Central Chevrolet has the professional tools, premium products, and expert training to deliver a flawless finish every time. We treat every vehicle with the same meticulous care, whether it’s a rugged Silverado or a sleek Corvette.
