BBB Accredited ADAMM Car Dealer

Following a purchase, a car dealership may provide loyalty bonuses, send service reminders, offer genuine parts and create service specials in an attempt to retain your business.  To ensure that “going back” is a pleasant experience; get to know the dealership inside and out before you buy.  Buying a car from a dependable dealership with a proven track record will save you a lot of headaches in the long-run.

A good business is about the people inside as much as it is from the product itself.  So, the dealership looks great from the street, but you get terrible customer service, what could that mean for you long-term?  Examining reviews is a great way to begin getting to know a dealership but take it a step further by checking to see if they are a member of, or have an affiliation with respected business associations and organizations that promote ethical business and customer relationships.

To confirm that the dealership has conducted previous business professionally, check first with your local Better Business Bureau.  The BBB looks at a variety of information including reviews and complaints, then assigns letter grades from A+ (highest) to F (lowest). The rates adjust according to a variety of factors.

Recently you may have noticed TV advertising for ADAMM, (Automobile Dealers Association of Mega Milwaukee). One of the goals of this organization is to help facilitate good relationships between member dealers and their customers.  ADAMM provides member services not available to or economical for the individual dealer, ensures ethical and professional standards of its members, and offers educational programs for the betterment of dealers and their employees.   WHY YOU ARE BETTER OFF AT AN ADAMM NEW CAR DEALER

All the Buzz is about AWD

If you haven’t looked at Volvo lately,

we should introduce you to the new 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD.  With its good looks, surprising performance, and excellent value, should Audi and BMW be worried? Of course!  The new 2013 S60 also comes with new automatic wipers and headlight washers for extra convenience in cold weather climates.  Stylish, beautiful and unique inside as well as out.  When you need it, the four-door T5 has great power and taking the corners with AWD is excellent!  Bad weather Experts.  The T5 is a great value with enough performance to satisfy.   Starting at $33,750, the S60 T5 AWD is available at Jenkins Imports.

Earlier this month,

AutoTrader quoted that Volvo’s 2013 XC60 crossover is a stylish and attractive alternative to other big players in this sector, such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X3.  They named the 2013 Volvo XC60 R-Design AWD as one of it’s top 5  picks for February new car deals.  It comes with lots of specials extra’s too, such as heated front seats, rear parking sensors and tinted glass at the back.  Just look at it….beautiful!  With the winter features, including AWD, this car is starting at just $44,850.

Even Jaguar is in on the fun,

because both the 2013 Jaguar XF and XJ models now offer AWD!  Ask about the optional start/stop technology and emissions/fuel economy benefits.  Jaguar claims to have focused a great deal of energy “to ensure that steering integrity and suspension refinement are unaffected” and that the cars “remain every bit as agile and communicative as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.” Read more   Hmmm….maybe test drive to see for yourself?   The 2013 XJ AWD starts at $77,595 and the 2013 XF AWD at $53,895.

Wisconsin Winters; Service for your Vehicle

The average snowfall in Wisconsin ranges from about 40 inches in the southern part of the state, to over 100 inches in the snow belt regions near Superior.   This year, we got a late start but in Wisconsin, winter can last all the way up through April!  It’s not too late to think about winter specific car maintenance and necessary service to ensure you’re not left out in the cold.  Below are some winter car maintenance tips to consider:

• TIRES

“All-season” tires are not designed for winter driving, especially in colder states such as Wisconsin.  They are generally are not made of cold weather rubber compounds, they lack channeling tread patterns and come with less tread stripes than winter or snow tires.  Even with front-wheel-drive and anti-skid systems, “all-season” tires are not going to provide the performance that a snow tire can offer.  As a matter of fact, the single component responsible with how a car performs in cold weather and/or on icy or snowy roads is the tire itself.  If you are driving in very severe weather — especially if you have to be on the  roads before  the highway crews — it makes sense to spend more to get the higher-end snow tires.  Lastly, don’t forget to have your tire pressure checked regularly, especially in cold weather conditions.  Local service specials.

• BATTERIES

Winter puts more stress on your battery, particularly if you park your car outdoors.  If you notice your headlights dimming, if it’s been 3-6 years since you got a new battery and especially if your car needs a jump-start, it may be time for a change.  Repair shops don’t  usually charge very much to load-test your battery, and some car-parts stores will do it for free.  Don’t try to change the battery yourself;  a battery can weigh as much as 40 lbs. and are often times very tricky to remove.   There are electrical and chemical dangers associated with changing a batter, not to mention that the old battery will need to be disposed of properly.  If your battery is not under warranty, it’s not too late to replace it, before it leaves you and your family stranded.  Find Local service specials.

• WIPERS

Obviously, you’ll need to see the road to drive safely.  The build-up of winter precipitation, dirt and salt on your windshield can greatly reduce visibility. Working windshield wipers and a solid supply of wiper fluid will ensure that you have a clear line of sight even in the nastiest snowstorm.  Dedicated winter blades feature a rubber boot that prevents snow and sleet from jamming things up.  Consumer Reports (CR) tested 15 wiper models, both silicone and rubber, and found that most did a very good to excellent job for the first 6 to 9 months but then performance fell off.  Therefore, it’s best to replace your blades at least once per year.  It’s not too late to have your wiper fluid reservoir topped off with a brand that has a lower freezing temperature.  Local Service Specials.

• OIL & ANTIFREEZE FLUIDS

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed a rating system for oil viscosity, which is often called weight. It’s expressed by four or five characters, such as 10W-30. The lower the number before the W (which stands for “winter”), the better the oil flows in cold temperatures.  Therefore, your oil should be either multi-viscosity or 5W if you are in severe cold climate.  Anti-freeze is designed to prevent summer boil-overs and winter freeze-ups.  Waiting too long to remove coolant can harm your system and not perform the way you expect.  Find a team of highly qualified ASE Certified technicians focused on providing exceptional service in a timely manner.  If you’re interested in the best new-vehicle warranties, see Volvo’s Service for Life Warranty!

By default, most of the power is sent to the rear wheels, and if slipping is detected, 100 percent of the thrust can be shifted to either axle.  (The XF model also comes with a choice of supercharged 4 and 6-cylinder engines.)

Local Car Dealership Second to None

One wonderful greatness about supporting a family owned & operated business is the customer service you can expect to receive.  Going back to it’s inception in 1976, the basic principle of treating customers with respect and honesty has ALWAYS BEEN a hallmark of Jenkins Imports.

Customer service #1 priority.  The strategy is to do as much as possible to ensure each new customer becomes a customer…for life.  It’s recognized that customers are the reason behind their long history serving Milwaukee and the surrounding areas.  To see what customers are saying check out some reviews!

Location.  In an effort to be more accessible for customers, Jenkins Imports moved from North of Milwaukee to it’s current location in 1982.  Easy on, easy off I-94 at Capitol Drive!

Employees on same page.  From the President to the ASE Certified technicians, to the Sales Managers and front desk reception…the importance of customer service is universal.

Just like family.  Most employees are actually family.  Those who aren’t have been there so long that they have become ‘family-like.’  This sentiment is taken outside to customer relationships as well.

They Listen.  The fact is, no matter how much experience and education is involved, listening is still the most important tool for creating a higher overall feeling among customers.

They interact.  It’s vital for businesses today to be socially connected.  You’ll find Jenkins on all major social sites including:  Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare.

Service & Parts.  If you need your car serviced, Jenkins provides the most reasonable solution to fix the problem.  Schedule a service appointment.

When you need a car that will keep your family safe, yet drive naughty check out the 2013 Volvo S60.  Ask about the low $299 lease offer!

  If you’re looking for an experience, and want to turn some heads…Jaguar may be for you.  p.s  AWD on 2013 Jaguar XF and Jaguar XJ!

Gas Prices Make Volvo even more Attractive

There’s no getting around the fact that gas prices are high.  To find the cheapest gas in your area, use this handy ‘gas prices’ finder tool from Mapquest.  There is also a “AAA Daily Fuel Guage Report” which is updated daily, surveying around 120,000 self-serve stations in the United States.  According to information obtained from AAA, the Midwest has seen the steepest increase in gas prices in the country, remaining at somewhere around 30 to 40 cents per gallon of regular unleaded.

Unless you use public transit or your bicycle to get from one place to another, vehicle gas prices are going to be important to you.  When shopping around for a new vehicle with competitive fuel economy, Volvo has several attractive options such as the Volvo S60 FWD, the Volvo C30 FWD, and the Volvo XC60 FWD.  Jenkins Imports in Milwaukee has a large selection of these vehicles, and many more.

Not only does Volvo provide competitive fuel economy in their vehicles, but they are some of the safest vehicles in the country.  Volvo also offers a ‘BEST IN CLASS’ complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance coverage for the first 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  This offer is found in their Volvo Safe + Secure Coverage Plan available on all new 2012 model year Volvo vehicles sold in the U.S.

Jenkins Helping Senior Citizens

Congratulations to Team Jenkins for taking home the first place trophy last month at the VMP Foundation Invitational.  VMP, (previously known as Village Manor Park), hosts the golf invitational at the Wisconsin Club-Country Club in Milwaukee each year.  Funds are raised in support and recognition of the importance of seniors maintaining active lifestyles.  This year, proceeds went towards the “Senior Solutions Fund”  which directly benefit programs which impact the quality of care available for seniors.

The owner of Jenkins Imports and several employees have participated in this event for many years.  (June 2012 marked their 19th year!)  The 2012 team consisted of Greg Jenkins, Scott Timmerman, Michael Jenkins and Gregory Jenkins.   Gregory Jenkins stated, ” The best thing for us is the friendly competition; seeing the money being put to great use and seeing the improvements that are made each year.”  Many other companies and sponsors from the Milwaukee area also participated.  It’s always good to know that the businesses we support give back to the community!

The shiny red 2012 Jaguar XF looked exceptionally gorgeous parked in the lush green grass of the Country Club.  To find out more about the family owned & operated dealership visit www.jenkinsvolvo.com or www.jenkinsjaguar.com.  Or, if you want to experience the friendliest service in town, I highly recommend stopping in to say hello!

Luxury AND Value; found at Jenkins Imports

The luxury segment in the U.S. market in 2012 is expected to be the fastest growing segment, with more than 14 percent growth, according to Polk. “More affluent buyers are returning to the market for new vehicles, after three years of spending reductions,” said Anthony Pratt, director of forecasting for the Americas at Polk. “The luxury segment also offers a wide variety of product options for consumers across all segments, ranging from small cars to SUVs.”

The definition as luxury has always been subjective.  Most agree that “luxury is in the eye of the beholder.” Luxury choices are often highly emotional and most would admit that a luxury purchase seeks self-reward to satisfy a feeling of “I deserve.” But according to a new presentation based on Ipsos Mendelsohn survey data from September and October 2011, 65% of all affluents agree that “the definition of luxury today is not the same as it was five years ago.” 89% of the affluent say that when they decide to purchase a luxury item, they will go out of their way to find the best price possible because value plays a a larger role in today’s conception of luxury.

If you’re searching for both luxury AND value in your next new or leased vehicle, make your way to Jenkins Imports of Milwaukee.  Over the years, Jaguar has been symbolic of a luxury vehicle with innovative design and legendary performance. Thankfully, Jaguar continues to hold that reputation with slick styles such as:

• Jaguar XJ
• Jaguar XF
• Jaguar XK

To learn more about the luxury features of these Jaguar models visit  Jenkins Jaguar… Milwaukee’s exclusive Jaguar dealer.

According to a Polk blog this month, the Luxury Compact Car Segment had 27% of all luxury registrations during the first 11 months of 2011, including the Volvo’s S60.  Although Volvo has been known primarily for their safety features; Cars.com recently listed three Volvo’s as “luxury” including:

• Volvo S80
• Volvo C30
• Volvo XC60

To see what’s in stock,  visit the Jenkins Imports website, Jenkins Volvo of Milwaukee.   New inventory is expected to arrive throughout 1Q 2012.  To inquire in person about the the luxury features of the vehicles mentioned, the dealership is located at 4020 N. Greenbay Avenue, right off of I-43 and Capitol Drive.  Or, call the dealership directly at 414-265-4400.

The plan offers tremendous value by saving you thousands of dollars on your vehicle repairs, and provides you peace of mind during your ownership experience.

It’s “Safe” because it’s from Volvo, and it’s “Secure” because you’ll be driving your Volvo virtually worry-free for five years. The Safe + Secure Coverage Plan from Volvo. Because you should feel as secure purchasing a new Volvo, as you do driving one. The Volvo Safe and Secure Coverage Plan is a U.S. specific program and is valid only when repairs are performed at an authorized U.S. Volvo Retailer.

City Safety Feature
-City Safety is a feature that can help drivers avoid rear-end, low speed accidents that often happen in urban environments or slow moving traffic. Statistics reveal that 75 per cent of all reported collisions occur at low speeds of up to 30 km/h (18.7 mph). The Volvo system, called ‘City Safety’, is active up to 30 km/h and keeps a watchful eye on traffic up to six metres in front of the car with the help of an optical radar system integrated into the upper part of the windscreen. If a car in front suddenly brakes or is stationary, the system will automatically pre-charge the brakes to help the driver avoid an accident by slowing down in time, or steering away from a potential collision. However, if a collision is imminent, the system will activate the car’s brakes automatically.

For more information about Volvo cars and their safety features visit Jenkins Imports. They’re located just off of I-43 at Capitol Drive in Milwaukee.

Certified Pre-Owned at Jenkins Imports

You may have noticed that ”Certified Pre-Owned” or “CPO” has replaced the term ”used.”   CPO originated due to the high rate of luxury off-lease vehicles populating the market in the recent past. Because these vehicles are in great shape and have lower mileage, they’re refurbished.  Often times there are special financing plans and roadside assistance offered as well.  Who buys pre-owned?  Someone who wants a less-costly alternative to a new car.  Who buys certified pre-owned?  Someone who wants a low mileage, less-costly alternative knowing the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and includes an extended warranty.  Most CPO vehicles are less than five or six years old and in great shape, however they are not perfect.  The added inspection and warranty provide a sense of security that you wouldn’t receive buying a “used” vehicle.

Not all CPO vehicles are created equal.  Jaguar CPO vehicles must be less than five years old and have fewer than 60,000 miles.  Compare to Mercedes-Benz CPO program of less than six years and fewer than 75,000 miles.  Jaguar CPO vehicles warranty is 72months/100,000 miles while Mercedes-Benz is 12months/ 1oo,000 miles.  (Which ever comes first.)  BMW’s CPO program only covers 12months/ 50,000 miles and requires a warranty deductible of $50.

What to look and “look out for” in a CPO program:

• Inspect the Points of Inspection
• Get the Warranty the Vehicle Warrants
• Look for Special incentives and finance deals

Just announced 0.9% APR Financing now available on Jaguar Select Certified 2007 & Newer Pre-Owned vehicles at Jenkins Jaguar!  To see the full line of Jaguar Select Certified Pre-Owned vehicles visit Jenkins Imports at 4020 N. Green Bay Avenue in Milwaukee.   Call them at 414-265-4400 or check them out online here:  http://www.jenkinsimportsjaguar.com/used-inventory/index.htm?reset=InventoryListing
