How to Prevent Break-Ins

Unfortunately, it might actually be impossible to make your car unable to be broken into by any means.  However, there is a short list of practices that may make thieves at least move on to a different target:

Keep your car clean – A messy car just might give a thief the assumption that there might be some treasure buried under all that junk.  Don’t give a thief that assumption.

Disconnect the battery – Especially if you’re going to be away from your car for a week or more, consider disconnecting your battery before you leave.  If a thief is able to break into your car, chances are they’ll be too frazzled to try and figure out why it won’t start and will quickly retreat.

Don’t leave valuables in your car – This includes CD's, GPS, laptops, radios, and even loose change.

Lock your doors – It doesn't matter if you’ll be away from your car for 12 hours or for 10 seconds, locking your doors dramatically decreases the chance your car will be broken into.

The 2013 Dodge Dart is Available Now!

The 2013 Dodge Dart is available now at Rothrock Motors!

 

The Dart is a fantastic piece of machinery, combining fun-to-drive aspects with cutting-edge technology, a spacious cabin, top of the line safety features, a high mpg and a revolutionary exterior design.

The Dodge Dart has one of the nicest cabins in its class according to Edmunds, with padded surfaces, colorful trim and an available 8.4-inch touch screen.  There’s also plenty of room on the inside, with lots of legroom and a large back seat.

The exterior is unique in design, but borrows certain cues that have been successful with other Dodge cars in the past.  The racetrack LED lighting in the back of the car is inspired by the current generation Dodge Charger, and the flying buttress was inspired by the second generation Dodge Charger.

The safety features of the Dart are hard to beat, because antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front and rear side airbags, side curtain airbags and front knee airbags all come standard.  A rearview camera, a blind-spot monitoring and a cross-traffic alert system are also available.

Also, the 2013 Dart delivers incredible performance.  Estimated fuel economy is 25 mpg city/36 mpg highway, and the standard  2-liter four-cylinder engine produces 160 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque.  A turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine is also available.

If you’re interested in the 2013 Dodge Dart, be sure to call or visit us at Rothrock Motors, 866-218-7720, and we’ll be happy to arrange a test-drive.

What is our North Star?

“What is our North Star” is an analogy that is meant to describe what someone or something (like a our company) uses as its “guiding light”.

In this case, the term “North Star” comes from when sailors would use Polaris as the constant to navigate the ship to safe ports. The North Star was the one star that they always thought was the brightest one in the night sky, so it could always be found.  If you knew where the north star was, you could use it as a reference point to plot your course.

We at the Rothrock Family have something that we use as our “North Star,” and that is our customers. You are what we use to keep us on course, to guide us in the night sky of business to make sure we are on course.

When you do business with us in sales or service you can count on the fact that if we are “going off course” in the way we do things, it is only by you, by our “North Star” that we can get back on course, and that can only happen by you letting us know.

Our goal is to make every transaction you have with the Rothrock family be a remarkable and memorable experience. And as our guiding light, we count on you to correct and guide us with everything we do.

Posting Online Reviews

 

My wife Carmen and I recently had a great dining experience at a local restaurant and I felt compelled to write an online review. When I went to the Google reviews page, I was surprised to see a bunch of negative reviews at the place that we just such a wonderful experience that evening.

Now, of course reading the negative reviews didn’t have the ability to change the great time that my wife and I had, but I did have to reflect on my event. After reading all the negative reviews, it made me even more compelled to write a great review.

I became interested in reading people’s opinions about a lot of the places that I frequent. Strangely (in my mind) most places I loved had negative reviews, although most had very few. I wasn’t sure if the reviews were saying something about my tastes, something about online reviews in general or a little of both. But as I became an online review addict, the more I realized that the system worked, because even if I loved a place, everyone has different experiences everywhere they go.

There were places that had hundreds of reviews, and they were all great. And you know what? I started looking at them differently.

We in the Rothrock Family also provide the ability for people to write online reviews and we welcome you to do so. It is only through your honest feedback that we can alter our processes to make your next experience better.

I have found that whether with my own personal service experiences or with the experiences that we provide for our valued clients at Rothrock, it is not always the absence of problems that makes a great experience, but rather an appropriate and prompt response and an openness to make the process better that shows the character of a business.

So please feel free to make online comments about your experiences, and we’ll always be happy to hear what you have to say.
