Schaller Mitsubishi

Dear Valued Customer, 

 

On May 26, 2010 New Britain Connecticut experienced a rare storm that included a short period of small sub-marble sized hail.  Some of the vehicles that were located at Schaller Honda and Schaller Mitsubishi were affected by the storm.

 

The affected vehicles sustained very minor damage to mostly the top painted surfaces, some metal moldings and a few glass panels.  The vast majority of the vehicles sustained negligible to no more than $325 in damage with a few selected vehicles reaching as high as $600.  As a comparison, repairing and refinishing minor front bumper damage on a new car in Hartford can exceed $1200!   

 

Minor hail damage is repaired by replacing affected moldings with new factory parts and by repairing painted surfaces with a Paintless Dent Removal Process (PDR).  This process repairs the small hail "dent" by applying slight pressure from INSIDE the panel.  The finished panels are nearly perfect and the previous damage is undetectable to the naked eye.  This repair in no way breaks the factory paint finish and does not affect the factory paint or corrosion warranty in any way.  In fact the repair comes with a Lifetime Guarantee from the repairing contractor. 

 

Schaller Auto World has full confidence in retailing these vehicles and offers some at a substantial discount considering their inconsequentially light repairs.

 

If you have additional questions or would like more information on this process please ask to speak to the General Manager, Sales Manager, or consult your salesperson.

Achieve Financial Credit Union was proud to help sponsor and organize a financial literacy simulation for high schools students. Students from sixteen high schools, including Avon, Berlin, New Britain, Plainville, Southington, and Wethersfield High, participated in an exercise intended to prepare them for some of the real life decisions they will be making when they complete their education and live on their own for the first time. 

To prepare for the event, students selected a career, researched the starting salary for their selected careers, and forwarded this information to Fair organizers.  The career and salary were used to create an individual budget worksheet which included line items for all of the monthly expenses and one time expenses the students would expect to encounter when living on their own.

Each student was assigned a student loan payment appropriate for the selected career, a savings account and a checking account with modest balances, a credit card with a credit limit and a balance, and a randomly assigned credit score.  Students were then directed to visit over 40 booths set up in CCSU's Alumni Hall to purchase required goods and services such as housing, transportation, food, clothing, and insurance, as well as other optional services such as electronics, pets, and entertainment.  Their goal was to purchase everything they needed while staying within their budget for one month.   Students were then required to meet with a Financial Counselor to calculate their expenses, discuss their decisions, and strategies for credit and savings management.

This event highlights the commitment of your Credit Union to develop financial literacy in our students before they have to make real choices that impact them for the rest of their lives.

Mitsubishi Motors Lineup at the 2010 Geneva International Motor Show

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) this week gave the new ASX compact crossover its global debut at the 80th Geneva International Motor Show which runs through March 14.  MMC will display a total of 11 during public days including vehicles already sold in Europe and the revolutionary Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV, which contains the Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System, and was first displayed at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.

With the Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System, the Concept PX-MiEV runs primarily as an electric vehicle with a gasoline engine in support which, as required, acts as an electric generator or provides an additional source of motive power. This new-generation crossover balances high environmental efficiency and performance by utilizing electric differential motors and an all-new S-AWC that utilizes E-AYC which controls torque to the rear wheels.

 

Dear Joanne:

On behalf of the City of New Britain and the Veterans' Commission, thank you very much for your help this year with our Memorial Day Parade, especially with the short notice I gave you. Your assistance was invaluable in arranging to have Art Schaller Jr. drive our Honorary Parade Marshall and Veteran, Mr. Danielewicz, throughout the Memorial Day Parade in his gorgeous antique 1930 Chevy Phaeton convertible. Please also be sure to extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Schaller Jr. on our behalf. This was surely an event in which New Britain could take pride. Your participation played an instrumental role in its success, enriched our Parade, and most importantly, enabled one of our elderly Veterans (who was unable to easily walk the whole route) to participate in the Parade. The other 2 Veterans I originally thought we would have to transport ended up wanting to walk the Parade route, even though one of them was also elderly (but younger than Mr. Danielewicz).

We appreciate your time and effort, as well as that of Mr. Schaller Jr., in creating this memorable experience for New Britain, our Veterans, and all who attended. I will always remember your kindness!


Thank you again to Mr. Schaller Jr. for being a part of our Parade and for donating his time and beautiful car that night and to you, Joanne, for making that a possibility by coordinating everything! We appreciate all you did for us!


Sincerely,


Sandy

Subject: Battery Maintenance during long term storage

Vehicles:  2008 Evolution

Due to the fact that vehicles are sitting longer in dealership storage lots, it is imperative that the vehicle battery be properly maintained.

The Lancer Evolution has a new hybrid battery that is different than most conventional style batteries.  The 2008 Lancer Evolution Service manual provides the proper maintenance steps required to maintain the vehicle battery while in storage.  This battery has been designed to operate in a closed environment (trunk room) without gassing like the more conventional batteries. One other critical difference is that this battery can not be discharged and left in a discharged state for very long without incurring permanent damage.

It is critical that the battery voltage be maintained at 12.4 volts or more (this is listed on the VIMS sheet in every vehicle). If the measured voltage is less than 12.4 then a 5 amp or less trickle charger should be used to recharge the battery, as outlined in the 2008 Evolution service manual.  Charging rates above the 5 amp limit may cause damage the battery.

Please remember that the maintenance on batteries in your stock vehicles are your responsibility. Normal warranty for replacement of batteries in your inventory is not approved.

Additionally, it is a good idea to pull out the IOD fuse during this long term storage. This reduces dark current draw by more than 50%, thus extending the battery life.

Dear Mrs. Pescosolido:

Dear Art,

We are fortunate to have friends like you who continue to give so much back to our agency. Your commitment and generosity is very much appreciated. Thank you for helping these families have a very happy holiday!
