Hail to the Highway: Presidential Savings are Here
In the spirit of the holidays, we’re exercising our “Executive Power” to give you the best deals of the year. While the rest of the country is busy debating politics, we’re busy making sure the people of Carney are driving the most reliable, high-tech fleet on the road.
Leading the Polls: The 2026 Equinox
The refreshed 2026 Equinox is officially the “People’s Choice.” With a massive 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment screen and a suite of standard safety features, it’s the most tech-forward SUV in its class. It’s perfect for the “Chief of Staff” (otherwise known as a parent) who needs to manage a busy family schedule.
The Presidential Discount: Tahoe & Suburban
Looking for a vehicle with more presence than a motorcade? This month, we have “Executive Level” incentives on our full-size SUVs:
- Aged Inventory Discounts: We’re clearing out select 2026 Tahoe models with discounts up to $2,000 off MSRP.
- Competitive Financing: Ask about our special APR rates for well-qualified buyers through GM Financial. It’s a stimulus package for your wallet.
Your Term Starts Now
Don’t wait for another election cycle to upgrade your commute. Whether you need the grit of a Silverado or the efficiency of a Trax (which gets a spectacular 30 MPG combined), our doors are open this President’s Day weekend.
Love is in the Air (and Under the Hood)
Forget the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate that’ll be gone by Monday. This Valentine’s Day, we’re talking about the kind of love that lasts—the kind that gets you through a snowy morning on I-695 without a hiccup. Whether you’re planning an upscale date night or just want to stop “ghosting” your maintenance light, here is how to celebrate at Jerry’s.
The Ultimate Date Night Rides
If you really want to sweep someone off their feet (or just treat yourself), these two are the “main characters” of the 2026 lineup:
- The 2026 Corvette E-Ray: Nothing says “I’ve arrived” like an electrified AWD supercar. With a 0–60 time of 2.5 seconds, you’ll be at your dinner reservation before the valet can even find his keys.
- The 2026 Blazer RS: Sleek, sporty, and sophisticated. Its ambient lighting and Bose® premium audio system create the perfect mood for a scenic drive out to the Inner Harbor.
3 Ways to Show Your Current Car Some Love
Not in the market for a new spark? Keep the flame alive with your current Chevy:
- A Spa Day (The Detail): Salt and slush from Maryland winters are the enemies of a good paint job. A deep wash and wax will prevent rust and keep your ride looking like it just left the showroom.
- The “Listen to its Heart” (Battery Check): February is often the coldest month in Baltimore. If your car is struggling to start, it’s not being “shy”—it’s likely a dying battery.
- New Jewelry (Wiper Blades): If your wipers are streaking, you’re literally driving blind. Swap them out for a fresh set so you can see your Valentine clearly.

With Super Bowl LX just around the corner on February 8, 2026, the excitement is hitting a fever pitch. Whether you’re heading to a massive stadium tailgate or just trekking to a friend’s house for the best wings in town, your vehicle is the MVP of your game day roster.
At Jerry’s Chevrolet, we know that the right Chevy doesn’t just get you there—it makes the whole experience legendary. Here is how you can score big this Super Bowl Sunday.
🏈 The Tailgate MVP: The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado
If you’re the one in charge of the grill and the pre-game vibes, there is no better teammate than the 2026 Silverado 1500. It’s basically a stadium on wheels.
- Multi-Flex Tailgate: It’s a step, a seat, and a standing desk for your snacks. Drop it down into a workspace to prep your sliders or use it as a step to easily grab that heavy cooler from the bed.
- 120V Bed Outlet: Say goodbye to noisy generators. Plug in a TV or a slow cooker directly into the bed and keep the pre-game coverage (and the chili) running hot.
- Best-in-Class Cargo Volume: With the 2026 Durabed, you’ve got room for the cornhole boards, three coolers, and that oversized tent you only bring out for the Big Game.
🛡️ Safe Travels for the Whole Squad
If you’re hauling the “away team” (a.k.a. the kids and their friends), you need a heavy hitter. The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse and Tahoe are built for the long haul.
- Super Cruise™: If your game day destination is a few counties away, let Chevy’s hands-free driver assistance technology take the stress out of the highway miles.
- Three Rows of Comfort: Everyone gets a “good seat” with plenty of legroom and USB ports to keep those phones charged for all the group chat trash-talking.
🛠️ Don’t Get Sidelined: The Pre-Game Inspection
Nobody wants a “delay of game” on the side of the road. Before you head out on Sunday, make sure your current vehicle is in championship condition. Swing by the Jerry’s Chevrolet Service Center for a quick check:
- Tire Pressure & Tread: Don’t let a flat ruin the fourth quarter.
- Battery Health: Cold February mornings can be tough on older batteries.
- Fluid Top-offs: Ensure your wiper fluid is ready for any winter weather.
🏆 Score Big at Jerry’s Chevrolet
Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a new Silverado EV to power your party or just need a reliable SUV for the family, we’re here to help you cross the goal line.
Stop by Jerry’s Chevrolet this week to test drive your next game-day companion!
Walk onto our lot on Joppa Road today, and you’ll see something different. The silent revolution has arrived. While we still love the roar of a Corvette engine, there is no denying that the 2026 Chevrolet EV lineup is changing the way Baltimore drives.
If you’ve been “EV-curious” but were waiting for the right moment to switch, 2026 is officially that moment. Here is why.
1. The 2026 Equinox EV: The “No Compromise” SUV
The Equinox has always been Baltimore’s favorite midsize SUV. The 2026 Equinox EV takes that practicality and adds an EPA-estimated range of over 315 miles on a full charge.
- The Math: For the average Baltimore commuter, that’s about a week of driving without ever needing to plug in.
- The Tech: It features a massive 17.7-inch diagonal freeform display and Google Built-in, making your navigation to the Inner Harbor or White Marsh smoother than ever.
2. The Silverado EV: Work Hard, Play Hard, Charge Fast
Think an electric truck can’t handle Maryland winters or heavy hauls? Think again. The 2026 Silverado EV is built on the Ultium Platform, offering:
- Towing: Up to 10,000 lbs of towing capacity.
- Versatility: The Multi-Flex Midgate allows you to fit items up to 10 feet long inside the bed.
- Power: With Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode, you can go from 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds. That’s faster than many sports cars.
3. Charging is Easier Than You Think
One of the biggest questions we get at Jerry’s is: “Where do I charge?”
- At Home: Most of our customers do 90% of their charging in their own garage overnight. It’s like waking up with a full tank of gas every single morning.
- On the Go: With the myChevrolet Mobile App, you can find over 174,000 public chargers across North America, including high-speed DC Fast Chargers right here in Baltimore County.
4. The Savings Add Up
Switching to electric isn’t just about the environment; it’s about your wallet.
- Fuel Savings: Say goodbye to the fluctuating prices at the pump. Electricity is significantly cheaper than gasoline per mile.
- Maintenance: EVs have fewer moving parts. No oil changes, no spark plugs, and no transmission flushes.
- Tax Credits: Many 2026 Chevy EVs qualify for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit, which you can often apply right at the time of purchase at Jerry’s!
Experience the “Instant Torque”
You can read about EVs all day, but you have to feel it to believe it. The “instant torque” of an electric motor means that the second you hit the pedal, the power is there. No lag, no shifting—just smooth, quiet acceleration.
Ready to take a plug-in test drive? We have EV specialists on-site at Jerry’s Chevrolet ready to answer your questions about home charger installation, battery life, and more.

For 2026, Chevrolet isn’t reinventing the wheel—they are refining it. The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse takes everything you love about the new generation and adds smart updates, fresh style, and even more tech.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the roads around Baltimore, you’ve probably noticed the new, bolder Chevy Traverse turning heads. After its complete ground-up redesign recently, the Traverse has transformed from a practical family hauler into a rugged, adventure-ready SUV that looks as good in an Overlea driveway as it does on a campsite.
Here is your exclusive preview of what is coming to Jerry’s Chevrolet.
1. Fresh Paint, Fresh Look
The first thing you’ll notice are the colors. The 2026 model year shakes up the palette with two sophisticated new options:
- Polar White Tricoat: A crisp, premium white that replaces the previous pearl option.
- Sandstone Gray: A rugged, earthy tone that fits perfectly with the Z71’s off-road aesthetic.
2. The Key Card Has Arrived
Fumbling for keys is officially a thing of the past. The 2026 Traverse introduces a NFC Key Card feature (available on select trims). This credit-card-sized smart key fits perfectly in your wallet. Whether you are heading for a run at the park or just want to carry less bulk, you can unlock and start your Traverse just by having the card on you.
3. Safety Standards Raised (Again)
Chevy is doubling down on safety. The HD Surround Vision camera—which gives you a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle—is now expected to be standard across more of the lineup.
- Why it matters: Navigating tight parking spots at the grocery store or the crowded streets of downtown Baltimore is stress-free when you can see every inch of your perimeter on the massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen.
4. Power That Punches Above Its Weight
Under the hood, the 2026 Traverse retains the powerhouse that redefined the midsize class: the 2.5L Turbocharged Engine.
- 328 Horsepower & 326 lb-ft of Torque: It is more powerful than the previous generation’s V6.
- Towing: When properly equipped, you can tow up to 5,000 lbs. That’s enough for a small boat or camper for weekend trips to Deep Creek or the Eastern Shore.
Which Trim is Right for You?
- The LT: The value king. It comes packed with the massive standard screen and captain’s chairs, making it the ultimate family shuttle.
- The Z71: For the path less traveled. With increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and true twin-clutch AWD, this is the Traverse that can actually handle the mud.
- The RS: Street swagger. Blacked-out accents, 22-inch high-gloss black wheels, and a sport-tuned suspension make this the sharpest-looking SUV in the pickup line.
- The High Country: The summit of luxury. Premium leather, power-folding seats, and exclusive badging for those who want the best.
Why Buy Your 2026 Traverse at Jerry’s Chevrolet?
At Jerry’s, we know you have plenty of options. But we also know that buying a car is about more than just the metal and rubber—it’s about the support you get after you drive off the lot.
Whether you are trading in your old reliable or buying your first family SUV, our team is here to help you navigate the new trims and find the specific build that fits your life.
Ready to see the difference? Stop by our showroom in Overlea to test drive the new generation Traverse today, or contact us to reserve your incoming 2026 model!
We all know the drill: one day it’s 50 degrees and sunny in Overlea, and the next, we’re dealing with freezing rain and icy windshields. Baltimore winters are unpredictable, and that unpredictability is tough on your vehicle.
Whether you are driving a brand-new 2026 Chevy Traverse or a trusty Silverado that’s seen a few seasons, a little preventative maintenance now can save you from being stranded on the side of I-695 later.
Here are the top 5 things our Service Center recommends you check this month.
1. The “Cold Snap” Battery Check
Cold weather slows down the chemical reaction inside your battery, making it harder to produce enough power to crank the engine. If your battery is more than three years old, it’s living on borrowed time.
- The Jerry’s Tip: Stop by our service lane. We can test your battery’s health in minutes to tell you if it will survive the next deep freeze.
2. Pothole Protection (Tires)
Winter roads in Maryland are notorious for potholes. Your tires are your first line of defense.
- Check the Pressure: Tire pressure drops by about 1 PSI for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Under-inflated tires are dangerous on slick roads and wear out faster.
- Check the Tread: Use the “Quarter Test.” Insert a quarter into your tread with Washington’s head upside down. If you can see all of his head, your tires are bald and need replacing before the next snow.
3. Fluids are Your Lifeline
You know you need oil, but winter demands specific fluid attention:
- Antifreeze/Coolant: This keeps your engine block from freezing solid. It should be clean and filled to the proper level.
- Winter Wiper Fluid: Don’t use the blue summer bug wash! It can freeze in the lines. Make sure you have a winter-rated fluid that won’t turn into a popsicle when you hit the washer button.
4. Visibility is Safety
Shorter days mean more driving in the dark.
- Wipers: If your wipers are streaking or chattering, swap them out. Ice on the windshield tears up old rubber quickly.
- Lights: Walk around your car and check every bulb—headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. Being seen is just as important as seeing.
5. Wash the Salt Away
Salt is great for melting ice on the Beltway, but it is terrible for your car’s metal components. Road salt accelerates rust on your undercarriage and brake lines.
- The Fix: Try to wash your vehicle anytime the temperature creeps above 40 degrees. A quick rinse of the undercarriage can extend the life of your car significantly.
Is Your Chevy Ready for Winter?
If you’d rather stay warm while someone else does the dirty work, bring your vehicle to Jerry’s Chevrolet. Our factory-trained technicians know exactly what to look for to keep your Chevy running safely all winter long.

Here’s to a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year from all of us at Jerry’s!
The holiday season is officially upon us, Baltimore! whether you’re driving down to visit family in D.C., heading over the bridge to the Eastern Shore, or just navigating the bustle of holiday shopping at White Marsh Mall, you need a vehicle you can trust.
Winter weather in Maryland can be unpredictable. One day it’s sunny and 50 degrees, and the next we’re dealing with freezing rain on I-695. Before you load up the trunk with gifts and hit the road, take a moment to ensure your Chevrolet is up for the journey.
3 Quick Checks for Safe Holiday Travel:
- Tire Health is Key: Cold air compresses air molecules, which can drop your tire pressure significantly. Check your PSI before you leave the driveway. Also, if your tread is looking worn, those winter roads can become slippery fast.
- Battery Basics: Did you know battery capacity drops in freezing temperatures? If your battery is more than three years old, let our team test it. The last thing you want is a car that won’t start after a late-night holiday party.
- Fluids & Wipers: Make sure your windshield washer fluid is topped off with a de-icing blend. Salt spray from Maryland highways can blind you in seconds if your wipers aren’t clearing the glass effectively.
Let Jerry’s Handle the Prep Work You focus on the eggnog and the gift wrapping; let us focus on the car. Schedule a “Holiday Road Trip Inspection” at the Jerry’s Chevrolet Service Center on Joppa Road. Our certified technicians will check your brakes, battery, tires, and fluids to give you peace of mind.
From our family to yours, we wish you safe travels and a joyous holiday season!
