It's one of the biggest music events in the Augusta, GA area.  For some, it's the ONLY music event of the year, with citizens camping out all week to buy tickets on sale for a single day, community business coming together to form alliances and give away seats, and the local country music station keeping their headliners close to their chest before announcing special guests. The Augusta, GA Guitar Pull. This year, the James Brown Arena stage will be packed with a multitude of the biggest country musicians in the industry, including Joe Nichols, Thompson Square, Dustin Lynch, Kip Moore, Dan + Shay, and Hunter Hayes - so it's no surprise that the tickets disappeared so quickly. And to be honest, it was tempting to keep the tickets we have to ourselves. But we won't. That's right, good folks of Augusta, GA - we have Guitar Pull tickets.  And we're giving them away! Take a test drive and be entered to win two Guitar Pull Tickets! Good until the concert in Nov 2014.

It was a stormy, rainy, monsooning Friday when we saw the 2015 Toyota Camry for the first time.  It swept up from our detailing department through the shadows cast by deep, menacing clouds, and it reminded us of a fearless Titan, parading into battle. This is a whole new Camry. Completely redesigned, while still maintaining the safety and reliability of the traditional Toyota sedan, we are convinced Toyota was aiming to find the perfect balance of what defines a dream car without compromising the three facets of a desirable family sedan. Aggressive, Sporty Styling We thought "muscle" when we saw the new body styling of the sporty XSE. These lines are accentuated with carving fenders and a distinctive new grill that gives it an aggressive finish. LED headlights define the path ahead with black accenting that give functionality a round-the-clock attitude. The LED headlamps and updated, new design to the fog lights offer a "premium" feel to the body of the 2015 Toyota Camry, while Automatic High Beams ensure optimal safety on the road. The XSE pumps 18-inch alloy wheels with a distinctively futuristic rim, sure to catch the eye of admirers. The XSE, the premium trim level of the 2015 Camry, brings a sportier life to the tradition of the award-winning sedan. The XSE's sportier feel includes colorful stitching in the premium leather trimmed seats - bringing superior looks to an incredibly comfortable interior. The stitched accents come in a variety of options, making your 2015 Camry one that stands out from the grain. Toyota takes its approach to "sport" pretty seriously, with an available 3.5-liter V6 to put a little purr under the pedal. Sleek, Luxurious Features Along with an interior specifically designed to reflect the sleek, aggressive styling of the exterior, Toyota aimed to have sport meet luxury in its superior technology, including heated seats. Dual climate control also adds a little something else to the XSE, providing comfort that might save you and argument or two. And, our latest technology - wireless charging port. Toss the extra wires you keep in your car, because we will now charge your qualifying phone - wirelessly. The Entune App Suite continues to offer the highest in digital information technology, with available Satellite, iHeart Radio, Pandora, Navigation, Weather, and Traffic reports. Who says family vehicles can't be fun? The 2015 Camry offers a lot of rear seating space, cup holders, 60/40 split seating for versatility and ultimate comfort - even with more than two passengers. The days of long-road-trip back aches are over. The 2015 Camry SXE offers 8-way power seats for your comfort. Safe and Silent The Camry still continues to meet the highest of safety standards, going above and beyond with air bags, and now has expanded to include a number of other worry-free features to save you some sweat. Blind-Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, Safety Connection Features (including Stolen Car Locator, Toyota 24/7 Call Center, and Roadside Assistance), Pre-Collision Center, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control... need we go on? Toyota has combined a new, wider track, with an updated suspension, added it to their advanced design technology, and created their quietest, smoothest ride yet. Buttons line the leather-wrapped steering wheel to afford you the easiest access to your favorite features.   Our very own Sales Representative Greg Jimenez showed us around all of the new features of the 2015 Toyota Camry XSE as well. We'll admit we have a lot of talented people here, but the photos and videos don't do this car justice.  Come check it out for yourself at Milton Ruben Toyota, 3510 Washington Rd, Augusta, GA.

Growing up in the South and being mostly surrounded by military, you get used to a joke or five thousand about the Texas Ranger himself.  Karate-blessed and born of testosterone's greatest fury, Chuck Norris lines (according to many) never get old. But here at Milton Ruben Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we think Chuck Norris, along with Bruce Lee, and Bear Grylls may be close to meeting their match.  In fact, we've been doing some experiments, and we believe these rough-around-the-edges TV hero one-liners may have become interchangeable with the ultimate feat of epic power - The 2015 SRT Hellcat. Allow us to demonstrate: With 707 horsepower forcing its way out of a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, the 2015 SRT Hellcat is the most powerful muscle car ever. Topping out at a 10.4 second quarter-mile, the 2015 SRT Hellcat is the fastest muscle car ever. And with the SRT driving modes, and a number of other driver-selectable settings, the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat offers more than 125 customizable configurations. But you already know all of this and more about this phenomenon of a vehicle.  If you're anything like us, you dream about this fantastic roar of an engine every night. We don't really need to make a case with you do we?  No, we didn't think so.  The SRT Hellcat makes the case all by itself.   What we will tell you is that Dodge / SRT is only making a few of these beautiful, entrancing, symbols of American power. We will tell you that we expect our first 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in the Dec '14 - Jan'15 time range.  We will tell you that another will follow shortly thereafter.  And we will tell you the days aren't going by fast enough for us either - we can't wait to lay our eyes on this beast of American muscle! Do you have an idea for a SRT Hellcat meme? Send it to us! You may win some Mopar gear for sharing!   To stay updated on the status of our SRT Hellcat, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, and LinkedIn! Photos provided by Drive SRT.

We knew we'd be getting one of the first 2015 Corvette Stingrays in the region.  We knew it would be fairly impressive.  We prepared, studied up on the modern updates to the classic muscle.  When we got notice from Chevrolet that our 2015 Corvette Stingrays had shipped, we cleared the show room in anticipation. We thought we were ready. But friends, there's no way we could have prepared for the immaculate beauty and power of even one 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51.  No disrespect to the classic dream car of the 1960's - this is a whole new generation of vehicle.  And with this kind of advanced, almost Bourne-esque technology, with the body style that reminds us of the supercars you could only fantasize about, and the power that melts the hearts of millions - this ain't your grandpa's muscle car.  I mean just LOOK at it! Oh excuse me, am I drooling?? The 2015 Corvette comes in a multitude of options.  Of course you have the coupe, as well as the convertible for those who want to feel the impact of almost 460 horsepower on their face.  From there, it extends to the 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, and those trims also come with the option of the Z51 Performance Package. Both Corvettes in our showroom are 2015 Corvette Stingray 3LTs with a Z51 Performance Package. With varying color seat options, each Stingray is equipped with 8-way power leather seats, keyless access with push-button start, power tilt and telescoping steering column, two 8-inch HD color displays, and the 9-speaker Bose audio system with a minimum 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio. An upgrade from 1LT to 2LT or 3LT will give you heated seats, lumbar support, seat emblems, Bose' premium audio system, memory seats, and extended trial period of XM radio, and so much more. The 3LT Z51 sports a custom Napa leather wrapped interior, with Corvette emblems in the seats. This particular vehicle was chosen with Grand Touring seats, but Performance Sports Seats are also available. Optional in all other trims, the Z51 3LT's steering wheel is wrapped in leather. Heated and ventilated seats, navigation, and HD screens in driver display as well as the digital information system take the 3LT a step above. The new 2015 Stingray offers a performance data and video recorder to keep memories - or spy on the valet. The gray Corvette (custom-built by a customer) is a 7-speed manual. The Velocity Yellow (currently looking for a home) Corvette is an 8-speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission. Both have Performance Gear Ratios. Active Fuel Management deactivates four of the eight cyclinders when you don't need that extra punch of power to improve fuel economy to an average of 29 mph highway. The direct injection acts as a key performance technology facet, delivering fuel to achieve maximum thermal and combustion efficiency, and increasing torque, power, and fuel efficiency. Without, of course, compromising it's 0-60 in 3.8 seconds capacity, nor it's roaring 460 horsepower. Air flow is a high priority in the Stingray this year, even in the Brembo brakes. Air flows through the front grill to the wheel wells to assist in cooling the brakes and enhancing performance and longevity. Exclusive to the Corvette Stingray brand, Michelin Pilot Super Sport Zero Pressure tires optimize ride, grip, and handling. Our Velocity Yellow Z51 also sports color-matched calipers. Electronic Limited-Slip Differential promotes improved stability and responsiveness. A hood air extractor allows flow of air through the front grill and over the radiator for optimal air flow, reducing front-end lift, increasing downforce, and improving handling at high speeds. LED lamps cast light into a reverse reflector to illuminate evenly and clearly on the taillamps. A third brake light sits on the rear spoiler for prime effective warning. Technology masters both high and low beams with Bi-Xenon HID lamps on the head lights. The 2015 Stingray is 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Magnetic Ride Control is a real-time damping system that "reads" the road every millisecond and re-adjusts in under 15 milliseconds, making it the fastest acting suspension in the world. The Z51 coupe is sold in the "Pacific" style - with aggressive racing build. The "Pacific" coupe design includes a distinctively sharp rear spoiler. Multiple driver modes lets you slip from the safety of "weather" to the ferocious power of "track" with the turn of a wheel. We may have already given one of these beauties a caring home, but the other is patiently awaiting for someone who truly loves to drive to take her home.  Visit or call Milton Ruben Chevrolet to learn more.   To keep updated on gems like the 2015 Stingray Z51, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, and Pinterest!

Has anybody else been battling with this consistent love-hate / why-am-I-wasting-my-time-on-this-trash guilty-pleasure of quizzes on buzzfeed?  Between finding out which Disney Prince you're destined to marry and what kind of Vampire would drink your blood rather than your celebrity doppelgänger who makes fun of your street to first pet ratio-ed Rapper Name, there are the classics.  Like the personality test.  And go figure - according to the author, who I'm sure is a clinical psychologist with all sorts of legitimate certifications, degrees, doctorates, and a highly impressive Rapper Name street cred, I'm Type A Personality - the organized planner.  Who shows up on time, is reliable, a leader, generally accomplished, focused, ambitious, and has a pretty elaborate idea of what the perfect car is. It might be true.  We may all be doomed to hours and hours of weathering the elements in search of the perfect vehicle - yes to those tires, no to that body style, etc. We had customer that needed his FJ Cruiser decked out and ready for some off-road action. When we were done with it, it looked so nice, we decided to modify one of our own.  (Photo on left provided by Milton Ruben Photographer Kris Olsen.)   Or we might just shop at Milton Ruben.  And we just might take those tires and put them on this body style. Ah, the miracles that can occur at the hands of a certified technician! Meet Certified Toyota Technician Jimmy Berry, who took on the task of lifting and "shoeing" an FJ Cruiser for our lot.   With great pride in the capabilities of our highly trained team, we present a visual representation of a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, transforming to an off-roading beast of a butterfly. STEP ONE After removing the manufacturer tires that came on the FJ Cruiser from Toyota, Jimmy disassembles steering components to gain access to the shocks.  Jimmy must remove the shocks, install a lift kit, and replace the shocks. Service Director Kevin Woodard dropped in to check on Jimmy's progress. He inspected the installation of the spacers on the lift to ensure that the complicated inner-workings of the FJ's suspension were secure. Lifting a vehicle is a multi-phased process, beginning with removing the tires and rims, and then taking off the shocks (it looks like a spring), and placing a spacer between the shocks and the suspension to literally "lift" the body of the vehicle up from the tires. Here, Jerry disassembles the steering component to gain access to remove the shock. STEP TWO Put on the tires. Each of these tires, built on a 18" aluminum rim, weighs roughly 45 pounds. "I'm not going to the gym tonight," Jimmy said while heaving the tire up onto the wheel. Jerry places lugnuts that will secure the wheel onto the wheel hub.  If lugnuts are not properly tightened, the wheel could shake as they rotate, damaging the interior of the wheel well. Using an impact wrench to tighten lugnuts onto wheel hub, Jimmy is careful to tighten to torque specifications. STEP THREE Re-calibrate microchips in each of the tires, as well as on the motherboard in the dashboard of the vehicle so they communicate properly.  If this step gets skipped, the computer on the car will always read that the vehicle has improperly inflated tires. Jimmy uses an Electronic Calibration Tool, to re-calibrate the TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring System.  The ECT basically activates the sensors in the tire, which will then send a signal to the ECT with the necessary numbers for the tires.  Jimmy will take that information and transfer it to the TPMS on the vehicle. Jimmy ensures that the TPMS has properly re-calibrated the motherboard in the dash of the vehicle. This way, the tire pressure monitoring system will only flash a notification on the dash when the tires are no longer properly inflated. A dangerous mistake some people may make is to forget the spare.  Jimmy was sure to include the spare in his initial calibration, as well as his double check of each tire's pressure. STEP FOUR Step back and enjoy the view. To keep meeting your mechanic, taking a peek behind the wrench, and stay in the loop on new cars to customize into your very own, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, and Pinterest!

When I was in college, I drove that stereotypical " first car."  It was a hand-me-down from my sister, who had gotten it after my dad upgraded to a new model.  The headliner was torn so badly it was wrapped in a re-fashioned fabric book sock so the foam wouldn't rain down into the eyes of the driver at random.  The A/C only worked between 35 and 60 mph, and even then it was 78 degrees or bust.  The radio dial took up residence in a cup holder since no variety of glue could hold it in place anymore.  It took fourteen years of faithful service to my family before it finally died on me in my junior year of college. In the middle of the night.  While I was driving it.  Through the backwoods of West Columbia, SC.  Twenty years old, female, unaccompanied and clueless about cars at the time, I found myself being told by a private shop technician that it would cost nearly a grand to fix my car.  I learned 48 hours later in the parking lot of Walmart trying to coax "Big Red" to start that I had been swindled quite badly.  It was that moment that it dawned on me - I needed to learn more about cars.  Particularly their regular maintenance and mechanics.  After all, $1000 was a lot of Easy Mac. Here at Milton Ruben, our service departments do their best to keep our customers updated and informed, answering any questions you may have about repairs to avoid the above situation from happening.  But it has occurred to us that some questions could be easily answered at any hour of the day with a nice, informative video.  And you guys have always been the best source for what we should focus on - so we turn to you to learn what you want to know about basic maintenance and mechanics of your car. Who knows - if it's a good suggestion on how we can teach you to keep up the upkeep of your vehicle, we might even throw out a gift or two. So, tell us, what question do you have about vehicle maintenance that we could focus on in our upcoming videos? Feel free to comment, private message, or e-mail socialmedia@miltonruben.com with your feedback!

Back in the day, when it was time to buy a vehicle, you had two choices: Pay the price for security of knowing everything that has happened to your car as its first owner, or save money and take a risk on a vehicle that may or may not "have a history." But what if there was an option that gave you the greenest grass on both sides of the automotive fence? Ladies and gentlemen, the Chrysler Certified vehicle - a pre-owned price for a reliable car without the shady past. But what exactly makes a pre-owned vehicle “ certified?” For Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram products, the Certified Program has a pretty high bar. “We won’t accept a vehicle into the Certified Program unless it’s in the best condition possible,” says Chrysler, Inc. Certified Pre-Owned Sales Manager Scott Turnbull.  “There aren’t any doubts about these cars - we make sure of it.” And we do that by having our certified technicians inspect every aspect of a recent model vehicle before we put it out on our line. They have to be thorough, and careful, because that vehicle also comes with a warranty.  If there’s anything out of place, the vehicle won’t be approved to wear that “ Certified Pre-Owned” flag in its window. The Chrysler Certified Pre-Owned Program offers you benefits such as: Thorough 125-point vehicle inspection by Chrysler certified or authorized technicians. 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and 3-Month/3,000-Mile Maximum Care Warranty, measured from original vehicle in-service date 24-Hour Towing and Roadside Assistance There aren’t many better ways to shop on the pre-owned side of the fence, when you have a manufacturer guarantee.  It certainly beats sketchy meetings in grocery store parking lots with the faceless folks you met on ChadsAutoIndex.com, doesn’t it?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Chevrolet Certified vehicle - a pre-owned price for a reliable car without the shady past.   But what exactly makes a pre-owned vehicle “certified?” For Chevrolet products, only the best of the best in better condition will do.  And then we throw a few extras like OnStar and XM Radio on top - just because we can. “It’s like buying new for a used price,” says Chevy Certified Sales Manager Mark Wilson. “It’s really that simple.  It’s security, and its guaranteed.” We secure that guarantee by having our certified technicians inspect every aspect of a recent model vehicle before we put it out on our line. They have to be thorough, and careful, because that vehicle also comes with a warranty.  If there’s anything out of place, the vehicle won’t be approved to wear that “Certified Pre-Owned” flag in its window.
