All of us here at Holz Motors are pleased to say we're proud of our local kids for staying drug free!
In fact, we are so proud of you that we are pleased to announce that we have contributed to our local D.A.R.E. program in Hales Corners.
The D.A.R.E. program continues to be a huge success among the students of Hales Corners. The goal of the D.A.R.E. program is to educate children about decisions and ultimately the correct, healthy choice.
It is the mission of the Hales Corners Police department paired with help from our fellow business owners to create an atmosphere of partnership throughout the community. Having programs such as D.A.R.E. provides us with the opportunity to accomplish that objective. The D.A.R.E. program is a community effort and we are all responsible for keeping our children safe. Keep up the great work kids!

And the 2011 North American Car of the Year Award goes to......
THE CHEVY VOLT! 
The Chevrolet Volt has been named the 2011 North American Car of the Year after making its debut on the international automotive scene as a concept car.
"It's a great honor to be recognized," said GM CEO Dan Akerson. "Since development began, we believed the Volt had the potential to transform the automotive industry. Today, the Volt is the first electric vehicle to win the prestigious North American Car of the Year award, and the first vehicle ever to receive the industry's highest automotive, technology, and environmental recognitions."
This esteemed award is selected by a group of automotive journalists from a broad selection of American and Canadian magazine, radio, television, newspaper and digital channels. In order to be eligible for the award a vehicle must be a new or "substantially" changed vehicle. Entries are judged on a variety of metrics including innovation, design, safety and driver satisfaction.
The Volt travels up to 35 miles gas- and emissions-free on one charge before a gasoline-powered generator engages providing an extended range up to 375 miles (1). And with its impressive ability to drive gas free without neglecting the opportunity for spontaneity the Volt has captivated consumers across America.
The car was first delivered in December, and demand has since grown enough to raise anticipated U.S. production.
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is available to order in participating dealers in CA, TX, MI, NY, NJ, CT and Washington D.C. Quantities are limited.

Check out where we came from by reading up on our history!
History of Holz Motors
More than a better deal, a better dealership.
Hales Corners was named by a relative of Nathan Hale, the famous Revolutionary War hero. But there's another name on a business on South Highway 100 that's just as famous in the automotive world: Holz, as in Holz Motors. According to records kept by the state and reported by the Wisconsin Automobile and Truck Dealers Association, Holz Motors sells the most new Chevrolets of any Chevrolet dealer in the State. It's a feat that Holz has accomplished annually since 1986.
While Holz is a modern, well-equipped facility with a large inventory and an impressive showroom, it's record breaking sales rely more on home-spun philosophies and traditional customer-driven practices than on anything else. Owner Jerome J.("Jerry") Holz wouldn't have it any other way. Jerry was born into the automobile business, the last of 5 children of the founders Rudolph and Gertrude Holz. Jerry, has seen the automobile business change from the days when his father sold gas delivered by horse drawn wagon to today's computer age.
Holz Motors has also grown from it's first year sales in 1914 of just seven "motor cars" to today with more than 4000 new and used vehicles delivered annually. According to Jerry, Holz Motors is the oldest Chevrolet agency in Wisconsin and probably the oldest dealership in the state owned by its founding family.
Today, Holz Motors has a payroll of 167. In 1962, Holz moved across the street from the original location to a modern showroom (since remodeled) and has acquired acreage around the site for used car sales, custom conversion van sales, commercial vehicle sales, fleet sales, leasing, body and paint repair, parts, and inventory needs. In 1985, Holz acquired a Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC outlet in Watertown.
Jerry and Dorothy Holz were married in 1949 and have two daughters "who both married great guys who are dentists." They have a grandson and a granddaughter. One daughter owns and operates the nearby "Barb's Green House Florist." When you ask Jerry about his background and how he built his dealership into the powerhouse it is today, he simply says he's "a roads scholar".
"My background is in the automotive field and I've picked up finance and banking skills along the way. I love being the head of a dealership because for me this is where the fun is. Where else could I meet so many people, hire and manage good co-workers, or look forward to going to work each day? I'll keep at this business until I'm too old, or too tired, and I'm not feeling either of those now."
Seated behind a beautiful desk in his tastefully appointed office, Jerry Holz speaks about the secret of his success: Find good people to hire, pay them and treat them well, and you'll keep them. The car business is extremely people-oriented, and nothing hurts more than high turnover of personnel. We pride ourselves on long term employees. This transfers to our way of treating the customer. We have sold and serviced vehicles to three generations of family members. The loyalty shown by our customers has made Holz Motors what it is today.
Jerry practices many other sound dealership principles, such as keeping a large inventory, heavy marketing and convenient service hours. "We have 500-700 cars and trucks in stock at all times," Jerry says." Plus, we are Greater Milwaukee's only Chevrolet Commercial Specialty dealer with many commercial trucks in stock.
One popular feature of Holz Motors is "Jerry's Pro Shop," a boutique-style store located in the heart of the main facility where you can buy everything from scale model Chevrolets, to high-performance, factory built, big block racing engines.
Jerry has a classic car collection and drives his own 1915 Chevrolet in the local parade every 4th of July. He is also active in the Shriners and other charitable groups.
And there's one more thing about dealing with Jerry: "Any car, truck or van you buy is sure to be "Holz-sale priced."
Jerry Holz and Holz Motors have been awarded the Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award twice, in 1979 and then again in 2005!
Our philosophy is: To Lead The Market With Volume Sales Created by Satisfying Customers Through A Teamwork Of Happy Dedicated Employees.

When you design a midsize sedan to meet the driving needs of people across the planet, you benchmark some of the best cars out there. You listen carefully when people tell you they want more style, more safety and more performance. And you know that, now more than ever, there's a critical need for greater fuel efficiency. Introducing the all-new 2013 Malibu and Malibu Eco. Coming in 2012. Its refinement and responsive driving characteristics bring a quiet confidence to the next generation of Chevrolet Malibu. And joining the Malibu family for the first time ever, the 2013 Malibu Eco will offer up to 38 MPG highway - that's better than Toyota Camry Hybrid. Malibu has been designed with a wider track than before and an aggressive stance, giving it a new presence on the road ahead and a lasting impression behind. Its refined ride and handling responds to the driver's every instinct with a seamless intuition, the result of extensive tuning and calibration on freeways, test tracks and rural roads around the world.

And you can be confident the 2013 Malibu Eco optimizes every drop of fuel with its 2.4L Ecotec direct injection Variable Valve Timing, 4-cylinder engine. And, for the first time on a Chevrolet, eAssist technology. eAssist a state-of-the-art system that uses power stored in the advanced 115V lithium-ion battery along with a 14kW motor-generator to provide an electrical boost in various driving scenarios, which allows for increased fuel economy. The all-new 2013 Malibu not only performs above its class, its intricate and worldly design introduces a new level of style among midsize sedans. Taking design cues from the Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette, the 2013 Malibu boasts an assured and strong stance with dynamic lines that both please your senses and improve efficiency. Malibu will not only surprise you, it will surprise owners of the world's finest midsize sedans-and rightfully so. You'll hear it in the interior designed with acoustic laminated glass and triple door seals to help keep outside noise outside. This with the delicate craftsmanship of its interior creates an intimate atmosphere that is authentically Malibu. And Chevrolet. Aggressively Sophisticated
