Congratulations! Mike Yermack Does it Again - Salesman of the year!!

Congratulations to Mike Yermack for his achievement as our Top Salesman for the Year of 2009! Once again, Mike’s consistent hard work and goal-driven work ethic has put him on top! Mr. Hendrick is big on acknowledging and rewarding people who do a good job. He has a President’s Club program for sales people and this makes 3 years in a row Mike has been one of “Hendrick’s Champions”!! He's been a great employee and has proved himself yet again by taking such great care of his customers and making a lot of great deals in 2009!

Let me take a minute to give you a little bit of a background on Mike. He grew up in Miami, Florida and came to Wingate University in 1997. While he was there he met an amazing girl from Union County, fell in love, graduated with a degree in Business/Mathematics and a minor in Finance, and got married. Now he is “stuck” in Union County and loving every bit of it.

His wife’s name is Amy Gordon Yermack. She is a math teacher/coach at Monroe High School. “She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. My wife is a great friend; I love her very much and appreciate everything she does for me. She is one of the main reasons I am who I am today.”

Mike has been working at Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac since September of 2002. While at work he enjoys seeing customers come in for service work or just stop in to say hey, so they can chat a few minutes and catch up.

He & Amy are actively involved in their church, Church of the Redeemer. They assist with mission trips and local outreaches. Since their church meets at Sun Valley High School, there is always a lot of set-up that needs to be done & Mike is right there faithfully to assist with each room! He enjoys spending time with friends and family. He like playing cards, board games, Playstation 3, golf, yard work & anything else he can do outdoors. He is a huge NFL fan. “I LOVE football!!!!!!!” Go Dolphins!! He is also a University of Miami Hurricanes fan!

Mike and Amy do not have kids yet; so he enjoys spending time with his 14 year old nephew, his wife’s cousins’ children and their friends’ children.

Mike wishes to thank all of his customers during the 2009 year who have allowed him to assist in their vehicle purchases! He has met some great people through this job (both customers and employees) and is very thankful for meeting them all! His customers continually return and ask for him by name!

I would ask that when the time comes for you to purchase your next new or pre-owned vehicle you consider Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac. I truly believe we have more to offer you than any place around - service before, during, and after the sale from people who genuinely care about our customers. Stop by today and see how Mike can help you. With his experience and detail to customer satisfaction you're sure to go home happy in your new vehicle purchased from him! We'll see you soon.

Out With the Old - In With the New...Happy New Year!!

Chevrolet: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model Line

AVALANCHE: The stereo gets a USB port, and 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; last year's low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option.

AVEO: Horsepower is up from 106 to 108, the manual transmission gets higher 4th and 5th gear ratios for better fuel economy, and 2LT models get a standard trunk spoiler. Also new: Wintergreen Metallic paint.

CAMARO: Chevrolet re-introduced its classic sports car for 2010, with a strong emphasis on bang-for-buck: The base-model Camaro offers a 300 horsepower direct-fuel-injected 3.6 liter V6, while the Camaro SS comes with a Corvette-sourced 6.2 liter 426 horsepower V8.

COBALT: The sedan version of the hot-rod Cobalt SS is being discontinued after just one year of production. The SS Coupe lives on, and now gets a sunroof and performance computer as standard. LT models have a new MY LINK package that includes a stereo with USB input jack, Bluetooth, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, OnStar and 16" alloy wheels.

COLORADO: Side-curtain airbags are now standard, and the optional 5.3 liter V8 gets variable valve timing.

CORVETTE: All Corvettes get standard side airbags, revised interior console trim, and optional cross-flag embroidery on the seats. 'Vettes with manual transmissions get launch control and convertibles get a Z06-style trunk spoiler. Z06 buyers can now choose any color in the standard Corvette palette, including Torch Red, which returns for 2010. The new Grand Sport edition replaces the Z51 handling package on the base-model (LS3) Corvette. The Grand Sport combines the 430 hp LS3 engine with specific wheels, tires, suspension tuning, wider fenders, and Z06-size brakes with functional brake cooling ducts. Manual transmission Grand Sports get unique gearing while automatics get a specific rear axle ratio, changes which boost 0-60 times by 0.2 seconds compared to the standard LS3.

EQUNOX: The Equinox is all new for 2010, with an emphasis on sharp styling, a quieter ride, and better fuel economy. Power choices consist of a 2.4 liter direct fuel injected four-cylinder engine or an optional 3.0 liter V6, also with direct injection, and Chevy claims that both engines will run up to 500 miles between fill-ups. Features carried over from the old Equinox include a rear seat that slides 8 inches fore-and-aft, allowing owners to maximize rear-seat legroom or cargo space.

HHR: Early reports that the turbocharged HHR SS would get the axe for 2010 were, I am happy to say, wrong; the SS will be back for 2010. The HHR gets a few new paint colors and a new rear-view camera, but is otherwise unchanged.

IMPALA: The V8-powered Impala SS has been discontinued, leaving the 2.5 and 2.9 liter V6s as the sole engine choices.

MALIBU: The four-cylinder engine is now E85 flex-fuel capable, and mid-level LT models get the LTZ's six-speed automatic transmission as standard.

SILVERADO: All V8s (including the Silverado Hybrid) are now flex-fuel capable, and the 4.8 and 5.3 liter engines get variable valve timing. The 5.3 also gets a six-speed automatic and a revised rear axle ratio. All 1500 models get standard electronic stability control, seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. All stereos get a USB port and the backup camera is available on more models.

SUBURBAN: The 6-liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable. 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; a low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option. Stereos gain a USB input port, and option packages have been revised.

TAHOE: The 5.3 liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable; other changes are similar to the SUBURBAN.

TRAILBLAZER: Discontinued.

TRAVERSE: Premium stereos get a USB input jack.



Cadillac: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model Line

CTS SEDAN: A 3-liter direct-injection V6 replaces the indirect-injected 3.6 as the base engine; output is 270 hp and 223 lb-ft, and the engine runs on regular fuel. The 304 hp 3.6 liter direct-injected V6 will continue to be offered as an option. New features include a cabin air filtration system, suede-covered steering wheel and shifter, and optional 19" polished aluminum wheels.

CTS SPORT WAGON: Cadillac has announced a station wagon version of the CTS for 2010. Though slightly shorter than the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers 25 feet of cargo space, accessible through a power-operated liftgate. Like the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers several powertrain choices: 3.0 and 3.6 liter direct-injection V6s offering 270 and 304 hp respectively; rear- or all-wheel-drive; and three levels of suspension, ranging from cushy to sporty.

CTS-V SEDAN: The 556 hp terror returns for 2010, now with an optional wood trim interior package.

DTS: Aside from a couple of new paint colors, the DTS is unchanged for 2010.

ESCALADE: The 6.2 liter V8 now gets an Active Fuel Management system that can shut down four cylinders for increased fuel economy. New side thorax airbags and a revised inner door design provide improved side-impact protection. The clock from the Platinum Edition is now standard in all models, the parking brake release has been revised, and a new battery saver shuts off power when the battery runs low from extended accessory use. The Escalade Hybrid gets flex-fuel (E85) capability and a taller rear-axle ratio for better fuel economy.

SRX: Cadillac's small crossover has been redesigned for 2010. Power comes from a 3.0 liter direct-injection 3-liter V6 producing 265 horsepower, and the new SRX features a Haldex all-wheel-drive system that can transfer up to 100% of the power to the front or rear and an electronic limited-slip rear differential that can deliver up to 85% of rear axle power to one wheel, which Cadillac says improves both traction and handling.

STS: The STS gets two new paint colors, but no other changes.

STS-V: Sadly, the 469 hp supercharged hot-rod STS has been discontinued.

XLR/XLR-V: Cadillac's hardtop-convertible Corvette clone has been discontinued for 2010.

Hendrick Hurricane Classic Golf Tournament

On behalf of the people we help through generous support of businesses like yours, the American Red Cross extends our deepest appreciation from the Union County Chapter of the American Red Cross for your consideration of donated items for the Hendrick Chevrolet Hurricane Golf Classic for the American Red Cross to be held November 5, 2009.

Hendrick Chevrolet is a Red Cross partner who selflessly implements projects in support of the community. The funds donated from their scheduled golf tournament will specifically go to the Union County Chapter to help local disaster victims. Last year we assisted 60 local families affected by house fires. Over 19,000 residents of Union and Anson Counties received benefits from our chapter last year.

We so appreciate the efforts of this local business in helping the Red Cross be prepared to Be There When Help Can’t Wait. Subsequently, we appreciate your generosity in donating items for the Hendrick Hurricane Golf Classic.


On behalf of all of the families we serve, thank you for considering a donation to support the Red Cross fundraising efforts and the Heroes Golf Tournament.

The American Red Cross is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization as described in section 501©(3) of the IRS Code for 1984, as amended. The American Red Cross does not determine the value of your gift for tax purposes. We also verify that no goods or services, in whole or in part, were received by the donor in exchange for this in-kind contribution.


The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and counsels victims of disasters, provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply, teaches lifesaving skills, and supports military members and their families.

We are a charitable organization -- not a government agency -- and depend on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform our humanitarian mission.
