Chevy Youth Baseball Clinic was held at Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport, IA.

As a part of the Chevy Youth Baseball Program, kids in our league were eligible to participate in an instructional clinic with a local professional baseball team.  This past weekend Mark Chasey General Manager of McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota was able to attend and participate with his family and other youth at Modern Woodmen Park Home of the Quad Cities River Bandits in Davenport, IA.

The Clinic was a half-day in duration and consisted of a combination of players, former players, and coaches. Participants took part in a variety of instructional drills which included infield and outfield fielding drills, base-running, pitching, hitting and other general instruction. Participants also received fun giveaways, and much more!  A Great day at the ball park...

Toyota Memorial Day Sales Event at McEleney's in Clinton Iowa!

We’re McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota... The rules are different here!

McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota has been serving Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois since 1914. We specialize in the sale of new and used vehicles and also offer first-class service, parts, and collision departments.

We know you have questions. As Clinton Iowa’s largest auto retailer, we set higher standards. That means you can expect an unsurpassed shopping, buying and ownership experience. Sounds like a pretty big statement. It is… Here’s what we mean:

What’s my price?

We pride ourselves on stocking popular vehicles that have passed strict inspection by our service department. We update used vehicle prices on a daily - sometimes hourly -basis to ensure our vehicles are priced at or below the retail market.  We continuously look at 3rd party sites like AutoTrader.com and Cars.com to find cars and trucks like the ones we have on our lot that might be 100, 200, or even 300 miles from our dealership. We also look into our competitor's web sites to be sure our pricing is right on.  That way, you make the right decision on the vehicle you want and price that fits your needs.

Are you like everyone else?

Our associates are here to help you, not sell you. At McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota, we’ll guide you through a buying process that is honest, transparent and easy to understand. It’s not just words… it’s the McEleney Pledge.

Do you have the car I want in stock?

We can help you find the exact vehicle that you are looking for. And if we don’t, we’re electronically linked to a network of over 50,000 New and Used vehicles, nationwide. So, we’ll find it… fast… and at the right price.

Tell me about your Used Vehicles?

At McEleney’s, we believe buying a used vehicle should be worry free. So that means every Toyota or GM Certified or McEleney Worry Free Used Vehicle includes a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, a rigorous 135-Point Safety inspection Report.  Just ask… we’ll give you all the details.

What if my vehicle needs service?

When it comes time for routine auto service, mechanical or collision repairs on your vehicle, we provide factory trained certified technicians, competitive pricing and convenient hours for all service needs. Whether its oil changes, tire rotations, belts or brakes… we’ll make servicing your vehicle a great experience.

What if my vehicle needs collision repair?

1.   Toyota to Boost North American Production Earlier than Expected
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA) today announced it will boost production earlier than expected following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  Beginning in June, North American production will reach approximately 70 percent of normal levels, up from approximately 30 percent in May.

The improvement in parts availability from Japan is the result of countermeasure activities implemented by affected suppliers.  Toyota will continue to evaluate production model-by-model on a monthly basis, with a goal to return to fully normalized production by late this year.

Eight models will be returning to 100 percent production in June: Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Matrix, Sequoia, Sienna and Venza.  

“Our team members and suppliers are working closely on countermeasure activity improve the parts condition from Japan.  We continue to develop solutions in order to restore 100 percent production as soon as possible for all of our North American-assembled vehicles,” said Steve St. Angelo, executive vice president of TEMA.  “We appreciate the patience of our customers and dealers.”

2.   Five Winners Selected in Toyota ‘Ideas for Good’ Challenge
Toyota Motor Sales today announced the five winners in its “Ideas for Good” initiative, a unique program that invited consumers to share their ideas on how to repurpose Toyota technologies beyond their automotive applications. The winning ideas, as determined by popular vote, will be brought to life with the help of Toyota, Carnegie Mellon University and Deeplocal experts during a rapid prototyping session in June.

The Ideas for Good initiative asked people to imagine new possibilities for five distinct Toyota technologies: Total HUman Model for Safety (T.H.U.M.S.),Solar Powered Ventilation System, Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), Advanced Parking Guidance System and Touch Tracer Display. More than 4,000 submissions were evaluated by a panel of independent judges. From there, the public voted online for its favorite idea from among five finalists in each category.
