How Reliable Are Used Chevy Cars, Trucks, and SUVs?
Beyond the fancy bells and whistles, perhaps the most important aspect of a used car is its reliability. After all, you’re purchasing a vehicle that is several years old and has many thousand miles on it. That’s why it’s important for buyers to consider the reliability of a used Chevy. Chevrolet cars are among the many used cars for sale in Madison, Wisconsin, at Zimbrick Chevrolet.
With over 100 years of history in its rear-view mirror, Chevrolet has become one of the most trusted brands on America’s roads. And the reliability label isn’t just a subjective term either.
4 Reasons Why Used Chevrolet Cars Are Reliable
Affordability
New Chevy cars are affordable to begin with, meaning they’re even more affordable when purchased used. And that doesn’t stop at the sales lot. Chevy also did well in a recent CarMD study of the cheapest cars to repair. So even when a Chevy does need a touch-up, it’s cost-effective to do so.
Availability
With such a wide range of models that includes sedans, coupes, SUVs, and trucks, there is a huge selection of used Chevy vehicles from which to choose. And being an American automotive brand, Chevy vehicles are easier to repair than used imported cars.
Longevity
In an effort to measure the reliability of various brands, Mojo Motors studied more than 500,000 models from 1995 to 2014 to determine the average number of miles a car accumulates before losing its value. At almost 196,000 miles, Chevy was among the cream of the crop.
Quality
Chevy did equally well when J.D. Power measured the car brands that experience the fewest number of problems. Some specific Chevy models have received attention for being particularly good used cars. These include:
- 2009 Chevy Traverse (SUV)
- 2007 Chevy Avalanche (Pickup Truck)
- 2012 Chevy Malibu (Midsize Sedan)

At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we’re pretty high on this midsize rig. As rugged as it is efficient, the Colorado hits the day-to-day grind as hard as it does a night on the town. Find out how below.
Why You’ll Want to Explore Colorado Trucks For Sale
Legendary capability
The 2018 Colorado carries on Chevy’s legacy of get-it-done performance. The available 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine option enables this midsize pickup to achieve an estimated 30 mpg of fuel economy on the highway, making it America’s most efficient pickup. But that doesn’t mean the Colorado sacrifices power. It can tow a best-in-class 7,700 lb.
Speaking of power, the Colorado can generate 308 horsepower when equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine option — yet another best-in-class figure.
Iconic design
Like all Chevrolet models, the Colorado is a looker. The 2018 Colorado features a fully-boxed frame and a classic Chevy bowtie badge.
But the design work isn’t all cosmetic. A CornerStep rear bumper, corner hand grips, and available cargo tie-down rings make the nine to five a lot easier throughout the week. Inlaid triple-sealed doors and available leather-appointed seats make Sunday strolls much more pleasant.
If that’s not enough style for you, the Colorado offers plenty of can’t-miss special editions.

Learn More About the Chevy Malibu Remote Starter
Updated: 3/9/2018
The Chevy Malibu is a car that improves your everyday life. In its latest model year, the Malibu offers outstanding fuel economy, a fun and fresh driving experience, and technology that keeps you in the loop with everything you care about.
Beyond connectivity, the Malibu also has convenience amenities that can smooth over the rough spots in your day. One of those features is Chevy’s Remote Vehicle Starter System. If you don’t know how to use this remote start feature, or if you’re interested in what the system can do, keep reading below.
How to Use Remote Start on a Chevy Malibu
Imagine it’s Monday morning:
You look out the window while drinking your morning coffee and shiver. There’s no snow on the ground, but the sky is a solid sheet of grey, and you know without checking the weather that it’s cold. You dread the walk out to your car. You balk at the moments you’ll spend behind the wheel before it has warmed up. Maybe there’s frost on the windshield that you have to scrape off.
Now imagine the same miserable morning, but you look out the window with a smile on your face. You grab the key fob for your Chevy Malibu and do the following:
- Lock the car. Remote start won’t work if your car is unlocked.
- Press and hold the remote start button. It’s the one with the circular arrow on it. You have to hold it down because Chevy doesn’t want you to be able to accidentally remote start your car (the way most car alarms are triggered).
- When the signal lights flash, your car is on. The engine will run in an idle state, and your climate control settings will activate.
- Insert your key into the ignition. When you go out to your car, put your key in the ignition and turn it to start your car as normal. Even after remote start, you need to put your keys in the ignition or you won’t be able to go anywhere.
With the push of a button, your Malibu will turn on, engaging the heater, defrost, and even the heated seats if you’ve got them. Your car will be toasty when you go out to it, so you can have your coffee and get ready to walk out the door without dreading the first frigid minutes of your commute.
Once you engage remote start, your car will shut off again after ten minutes of inactivity — a preventative measure so that you don’t burn off all your gasoline while your car is just sitting there. That’s why you should only start your car just before you leave.
You can also cancel remote start by holding the same button until the lights flash again.
Try Out the Chevy Malibu Remote Start System in Sun Prairie, WI
The Remote Vehicle Start System’s availability starts with the LT trim. At Zimbrick Chevrolet in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, we have a great selection of Malibu models for you to choose from in our inventory of new cars for sale.
Try out the remote start system for yourself when you schedule a test drive. Our dealership is a short drive for anyone in the Madison, Waunakee, DeForest, and Stoughton areas, so we hope to see you soon.
Special Editions: The 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 & ZR2
Chances are you’ve heard the expression “Don’t mess with success.” Well, it’s time to forget about it. With the remarkable towing and off-roading capability to star alongside a surprisingly smooth drive, the 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 is already great. But the new special editions are just ridiculous.
At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we’re big truck people — but we understand that a truck doesn’t have to be big to be a game-changer. Keep reading to find out what Chevy has in store with this midsize pickup truck’s brilliant special editions.
What You Should Know About the 2018 Chevy Colorado Special Editions
Chevrolet Z71 Centennial
This sharp-dressed trim is a true celebration of Chevrolet’s 100 years of truck dominance. Everything about this pickup exudes sophistication and power — from the Centennial Blue exterior to the heritage Chevy bowtie emblems and chrome accessories. But the Z71 Centennial isn’t just a looker. When you equip it with the 308-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine, this truck is a doer.
Chevrolet Z71 Midnight
Every event is a black-tie event for this trim. In addition to black Chevy bowties, this rendition sports a blacked out exterior, grille, and all-weather floor liners. And with an available class-exclusive Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine that helps it achieve a best-in-class 7,770-lb. towing capacity and up to 30 mpg of fuel economy on the highway, the Z71 Midnight overshadows competition.
But there’s someone we’re forgetting about…
Chevrolet ZR2 Dusk & Midnight
Like their Z71 friends, the Chevy ZR2 Dusk and Midnight editions look pretty dapper. With black Chevy bowties, black accessory wheels, and a sport bar with off-road LED lighting, the ZR2 Midnight embraces its darker side. The ZR2 Dusk boasts a lighter color. But don’t let it fool you. With segment-exclusives like Multimatic™ shocks and front and rear electronic locking differentials, this pickup lives dangerously as the most capable off-roading truck there is.

If you’re going to claim to be in it for the long haul, you better be one of the most rugged and resilient vehicles on the road. With a legacy of excellence that dates back a century, the 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 fits that bill to a tee. A towing machine, this full-size pickup truck can pull a whopping, best-in-class 12,500 lbs. when properly equipped.
But how exactly does it do the trick? Keep reading our vehicle spotlight to find out.
How the 2018 Silverado 1500 Hauls Best-in-class Numbers
Performance
You don’t get to be able to tow over six tons without packing some serious muscle. The 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 brings three strapping engine options to the table, with the available 420-horsepower 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 standing at the top of the line. This engine generates an extraordinary 460 lb.-ft. of torque, and when combined with the Max Trailering Package, helps the new Silverado 1500 tow 12,500 lbs., more than any in-segment competitor.
But the other selections aren’t too shabby, either. The 5.3L V8 and 4.3L V6 engine options can tow up to 11,100 lbs. and 7,600 lbs. respectively.
Design
There’s nothing light-duty about the Silverado 1500. Every detail of this full-size truck was chiseled to impress and every inch was designed to dominate — from the high-strength steel frame to the hydraulic body mounts and trailering mirrors. But the Silverado 1500 was engineered for more than just towing. With the CornerStep rear bumper and available EZ Lift & Lower tailgate, it can take on smaller projects, too.
Safety
Having the strength to get the job done only takes you so far. It means nothing if you can’t accomplish your goals safely. That’s why it’s a good thing that the 2018 Silverado 1500 makes towing easier than before.
The available EchoMaster® Trailering Camera System provides access for up to four cameras that help eliminate blind spots and enhance your vision when maneuvering and backing up. And just in case that’s not enough, Stabilitrak® with Trailer Sway Control technology automatically detects a veering trailer and applies brakes to get things back in line.

How To: A Checklist to Help You Buy a Used Car
Looking for a used car? You’re in good company.
The demand for used cars has never been higher than it is right now. In fact, more than 40 million used cars were sold in the U.S. in 2016 alone. The perks of choosing a pre-owned vehicle are undeniable. But with so many available options, honing in on the right used car may seem like an intimidating task.
But it doesn’t have to be. At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we know that hunting down the right pre-owned vehicle can be stressful. That’s why we want to prepare you for your search. Below, you’ll find a used car checklist that you should never shop without.
10 Steps to Follow When Buying a Used Car
1. Do your homework
Buying the right used car begins well before you get to the lot. You’ve got a lot to compare and consider — from budget and practicality to performance features and reliability ratings. Showing up well-prepared is a must and our model research pages are a great place to start.
2. Request the vehicle history report
Knowing a car’s history is an integral part of the shopping process. A CARFAX® Vehicle History Report will show you the title, ownership, and maintenance records for the life of the vehicle so that you can catch up and be aware of the car’s upkeep history.
3. Inspect the exterior
This is one case in which it’s okay to judge a book by its cover. Inspect the body for dings or scrapes. Investigate the glass and lenses for cracks, pocks, or unusual moisture. Examine the tires for signs of reduced tread depth. A car’s appearance reflects upon you as the owner, so you’ll want to make sure it’s in good shape.
4. Check under the hood
Even the best looking used cars can be deceptive. Pop the hood to make sure everything looks up to snuff within. Give the hoses, belts, and radiator a thorough look over to make sure there aren’t any excess fluids in places they don’t belong. Check the battery for corrosion. You’ll want to identify problems that may have been missed.
5. Look under the vehicle
You don’t want to miss anything. Have a peek under the vehicle to ensure that you haven’t overlooked a problem. Leaks and residue can be indicators of bigger issues, so you’ll want to eliminate them before you even set foot behind the wheel.
6. Examine the interior
If you’ve made it this far, you’re ready for a closer look. Scan the cabin for any damage to the seats or peculiar odors that raise a flag. Make sure all the car’s instruments, controls, and pedals function properly. You’ll need them to before you decide to schedule a test drive.
7. Go for a test drive
It all comes down to this. A car can look as good in real life as it does on paper, but it’s not the right model for you if it doesn’t feel that way on the road. Pay attention to how the car accelerates, handles, and brakes. Test safety systems and entertainment features. There are too many options for you to pick a car that you don’t have chemistry with.
8. Get it evaluated
Getting a second opinion is perfectly acceptable. You have our word at Zimbrick Chevrolet, but we understand that you’ll probably want to get your car scrutinized by someone else. Being comfortable with your purchase before you close the deal is of utmost importance to all parties involved.
9. Ask questions
You don’t want to leave our dealership with unanswered questions. Lucky for you, our staff is full of experts in all things Chevy. We know that you’ve done your research, but we’re still here to answer any questions you might have — before, during, and after the purchase.
10. Sign on your terms
Timing is different for everyone. We want you to be as confident in your purchase as possible. Whether you’re ready to buy as soon as the test drive is over or you need a night to sleep on it, we’re excited to send you home in your next Chevy.
Find an Outstanding Used Car in Sun Prairie, WI
At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we carry some of the highest-quality used Chevy models in the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, area, so you know that you can take our word for it. We thoroughly inspect all of our pre-owned models before we sell them on our lot.
