Louisville Slugger Baseball Bats: Discover the Craft | Chevrolet

Every Major League Baseball player has a bat tailor-made for him. Each year, craftsmen from Louisville Slugger take notes and measurements from hitters. Using this information, they craft a one-of-a-kind template that's used to supply players with bats all year long.

These templates are also used to create bats for fans and non-professional players. This means, you can stand in the box with the bat of your favorite player.

This sport has always been tailor-made. Now you can go behind the scenes and experience the story of a bat and its craftsmen like you've never heard it before.

Thank you Cathy for this 5 Star Review!

Monday-Maintenance Tip: Rainproof Your Windshield

Manufacturers recommend replacing your blades every three months. Keep a spare set in your trunk. A product such as Rain Clear can also help minimize the work of your wipers; spray it onto the glass every few weeks. In some light rains, it makes the wipers almost unnecessary.

Our customers are the best! Check out these new reviews we received over the weekend!

"I purchased a 2013 VW Beetle from Christopher Leslie at Lou Bachrodt. Wonderful experience. No pressure, took his time to show and explain the different models and options, and was extremely helpful. When I made my choice, Chris was able to get the vehicle cleaned, etc., and I was able to drive it home that same day, with license plates, too. Chris went over all of the options on the vehicle, showed me how everything worked, and I was completely comfortable in my knowledge of the vehicle's options. I received a call from Chris a day or two later to see how I was doing with the new Beetle and if I had any questions. Very nice touch. He made my first service appointment, and was extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely go back to Chris Leslie and Lou Bachrodt whenever I'm in the market for a vehicle."

2014 Chevy Impala production commences

Production of the tenth-generation Chevrolet Impala began today, with the first 2014 model rolling of the line at the company's Ontario's Oshawa Assembly plant. The new Impala, which will be produced at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck plant in addition to the Canadian location, is expected to make an appearance in showrooms later this month. Impala assembly in Detroit will begin in May of this year.

The full-size Impala will come to market with an engine lineup that includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a 2.4-liter four with the company's eAssist mild hybrid technology, and the 3.6-liter V6 that we sampled a few weeks ago. Sadly for the trivia buffs among us, Chevy didn't provide any specification information or other facts about the first-ever 2014 Impala.

April is National Car Care Month: Spring into Action

April is National Car Care Month and the Car Care Council reminds motorists to spring into action and follow 10 basic maintenance procedures to make sure their vehicles are running at peak performance for the summer driving season.

1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.

2. Check the hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.

3. Check the battery and replace if necessary. Make sure the connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.

4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.

5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an unusual noise. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected without delay.

6. Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy and produce the lowest level of emissions.

7. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting.

8. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components.

9. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

10. Check the wipers and lighting so that you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.

“Whether you visit a professional service technician or do it yourself, a thorough vehicle inspection this spring can help keep your car safe and dependable and help you avoid much higher costs down the road in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council.
