Studies have proven that filling your tires with nitrogen can increase tire life up to 50 percent, while also increasing fuel economy by 10 percent. The GM Goodwrench shop at Midway Motors can do this for customers, quickly and easily in a half an hour or less.

Gas prices seem to do nothing but rise, so our Hutchinson service center and Hutchinson car dealerships are always looking for ways to help customers increase their fuel economy and save money at the pump.

The science behind this new method is certainly interesting. Because oxygen molecules are smaller than nitrogen, they absorb into the tire rubber more easily. This means nitrogen-filled tires maintain tire pressure better than regular air. While water accumulates in oxygen-rich air through humidity, nitrogen essentially eliminates the water. This avoids inconsistent tire pressure and perhaps more importantly, rust on wheel parts and tire pressure monitoring systems.

Stop by the top Hutchinson service center and speak to Reba, Jessica, Doug, or Ceph about filling your tires with nitrogen today for a low price of $29.95.

The benefits to your car, tires and wallet will make it more than worthwhile.

A popular choice at our Chevy dealership in Kansas, the Chevy Malibu has been a solid competitor in the midsize sedan category because of its strong performance and good fuel economy. The Chevy Malibu runs on a 2.4-liter E85-compatible four-cylinder engine and gets up to 33 MPG.

The LS includes a four-speed automatic transmission while the LT and LTZ boast a six-speed automatic transmission. If you’re looking for even more power, opt for the 3.6-liter V6 on the LT or LTZ for up to 252 horsepower.

When you step inside the Malibu at our Chevrolet dealership in Kansas, you’ll notice a stylish cabin that features keyless entry, OnStar and a six-speaker stero with CD player, satellite radio and power driver seat height and lumbar adjustment.

Safety is what the Chevy Malibu is known for, and the vehicle has scored five stars on the NHTSA Frontal Crash Test. Five stars indicates the most injury protection which was given to the Malibu for both the Driver Front and Passenger Front. Other safety features include seat-mounted thorax airbags, side-curtain airbags, stability control, straction control and anti-lock brakes.

Glenn Hoover and the Midway Motors family have steadily continued to infiltrate the McPherson area since 1991, expanding their presence to now include multiple cities.  In 1995, Hoover bought a dealership in Beloit, though he then sold it to its longtime manager a few years ago. In 2006, Midway Motors purchased Lacy Motors in McPherson, and in 2008, bought out Irv Schroeder’s GM dealership in Hillsboro. 

Many Kansas dealers, along with much of the country, are facing steep declines in business since the nation has been battling its worst recession.  However, we have always tried to remain positive and look at the recession with optimism.  Our leader, Glenn Hoover states, “I do look at the recession as an opportunity for the auto industry.  We’ve had a very minor decline in business and it gave us the opportunity for expansion.  We have complete confidence that the American auto industry will be back full-steam.”

“We are proud and excited to have the opportunity to serve our Hutchinson customer base with a store in Hutch,” said Hoover.

Stay tuned for more grand opening news!

Midway  Motors has just opened a new Chevrolet dealership in Hutchinson Kansas.

The Glenn Hoover family, owners of Midway Motors of McPherson, announced the purchase of Hambleton LaGreca Chevrolet Pontiac, 1200 E. 30th Ave.

The purchase will increase the size of Midway’s business by about 30 percent, said company president and founder Glenn Hoover, who has been involved in car sales since 1978.

The company immediately increased employment at the Hutchinson store from 29 to 42 people, Hoover said, with expectation that it would grow further.

It also named Danny Flynn, a lifetime Hutchinson resident who had been managing Midway’s Hillsboro dealership the past 14 months, as general manager of the Hutchinson store.

The dealership will honor existing warranties from Hambelton LaGreca, including its Super Saver Program offering lifetime oil changes, Hoover said.

Combined with the dealerships Midway Motors has in McPherson and Hillsboro – where plans for new showrooms in both towns are under way – the company now offers every American make of car, Hoover said.

Combined, the company now employs 150 people. It has more than 200 new and 300 used vehicles in stock, and anticipates sales of about 300 new and used vehicles each month.

Chevrolet announced the 2010 Equinox crossover will carry a MSRP of $23,185, including a $745 destination charge, for the FWD LS model. It goes on sale this June.

“Offering the fuel economy of a sedan with the functionality of a crossover, the Equinox is a superior value for our customers,” said Ed Peper, GM North America vice president, Chevrolet.

Chevy expects its Equinox to have best-in-class fuel economy at 30 MPG with its advanced 4-cylinder, direct injected engine. It is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim, with available all-wheel-drive. Two new engines are offered, each with fuel-saving direct injection and variable valve timing technology. Vehicle highlights include:

• New 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine estimated at 182 horsepower (135 kW), which delivers an estimated 30 mpg highway, 21 mpg city (EPA certification pending)
• New 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine estimated at 264 horsepower (190 kW), which delivers an estimated 25 mpg highway, 18 mpg city (EPA certification pending)
• Driving range of more than 500 miles (800 km) with both engines, for less-frequent fill-ups
• Six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags; head curtain side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags
• Standard four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control
• Standard OnStar and XM Satellite Radio
• “Advanced” remote starting system that also activates the HVAC system and optional heated seats depending on the outside temperature

Inside, the Equinox features attention to detail, including standard tilt and telescoping steering wheel, standard driver seat power height adjustment and power lumbar, and a number of storage bins: an oversized glove box, a closed storage bin in the instrument panel above the center stack, and closed storage under the center armrest large enough for a laptop computer.

“Getting best-in-class fuel economy and great storage for less than $24,000 is significant,” Peper added. “In fact, the starting price for this all-new model is $1,800 less than the previous generation Equinox.”

While the all-new Equinox carries a smaller price than its predecessor, the list of standard content is larger – including more airbags, power lumbar support, and 17″ wheels. Combine this added content with the improvements in fuel economy, driving performance and available features, and the value proposition improves even more with the 2010 Equinox.

If you are interested in a test drive of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox at Midway Motors Super Center please call 877-796-0479 , we serve the residents of Wichita, McPherson and Salina KS.
