Help Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center Support the Local Quakertown Community

First, please let us be the first to tell you about the the Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center blog!  You can quickly access the blog at http://blog.fctruckcenter.com.  We are really excited about getting our blog up & running. We hope that you find the articles that we publish on the Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center blog informative, and that you'll continue to check back with us throughout the week to get access to our latest articles.

Local Partner Program QuakertownRight off the bat, we want to inform our readers of a monthly program that we will be running on our blog, and Facebook. The monthly program was setup to support the local community, which is why we call it our, Local Partner Program. In the current economic environment, we believe that it's more important than ever to support our neighbors. We want to keep our business in the community, and we hope that our Local Partner Program encourages everyone in our local Quakertown community to do the same. 

So here's how it works?Each month, Faulkner Ciocca Truck Center is going to partner with a local Quakertown business, and through that partnership, we are going to provide the local Quakertown community with a special discount coupon to our local parnter's business. One month we might partner with a local Quakertown restaurant, and send out Free Appetizer coupons, and another month, we may partner with a local bowling alley to offer you Free Shoe Rentals. All that matters is that each month the local Quakertown community benefits by receiving a discount at one of their favorite stores, and local businesses benefit from added exposure, and increased store traffic. Any money that's spent, stays in the local Quakertown community. Everybody wins!

Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center QuakertownWe will be posting a blog article every month, and in that article, we will feature our local partner. We will then post our local partner coupons on Facebook, so that the local community can log in, and print out the coupons. If you'd like to be notified when new coupons are available, please consider signing up for the Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center Insider Program. On top of our local partner coupons, Faulkner-Ciocca Insiders receive exclusive savings opportunities on service, parts, and vehicles at Faulkner-Ciocco Truck Center. We hope that you'll consider participating in our local partner program, by becoming a Faulkner-Ciocca Insider today.

At this time, we are currently looking for local partners. If you, or anyone you know, owns a local business, in or around, Quakertown, please leave a comment below, or connect with us on Facebook

Auto Review: 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab Short Box

What vehicle has power, pizazz and class? The 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab Short Box.

Chevy Silverado is a truck that pickup lovers respect and there is good reason. It's the perfect driving vehicle and is able to carry large loads with ease. Good for work or play.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS features a 4.8-liter 8-cylinder V-8 engine and an automatic transmission. The drivetrain is your choice of rear wheel drive or 4-wheel drive.

Every Chevy lover knows you won't settle for less when you drive a pickup with the Chevrolet brand attached. Here's why:

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab Short Box features:

  • 302 horsepower at 5,600 rpm
  • 305 pound feet of torque at 4,600 rpm
  • Variable valve control
  • 14 mpg fuel efficiency in the city, 19 on the highway
  • Sequential mulit-point fuel injection
  • Power steering
  • Front wheel independent suspension

For offroading, the Chevy Silverado 1500 LS is equally impressive:

  • Approach angle: 15 degrees
  • Minimum 9-inch ground clearance
  • Maximum 12.3-inch ground clearance
  • Departure angle: 23 degrees

The interior seats are comfortable bench seats with a rear seat center
armrest between split-bench seating. The front center armrest includes storage and there's a split folding rear seat. The truck seats 6.

Comfort features include power windows, remote keyless entry, overhead console, emergency communication system, speed control, tilt steering wheel and a lot more. The entertainment system consists of 6 speakers, a CD player, radio data system, MP3 decoder and AM/FM radio.

Those are what is offered with the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab Short Box RWD.

The 4WD trim gets slightly less to the gallon, but it's still powerful and

impressive on the road.It's got all the same creature comforts as the rear wheel drive and looks just as sexy. With both vehicles you get an overhead airbag for safety, ignition disable, electronic stability, dual front impact airbags, ABS, panic alarm, occupant sensing airbag, security system, dual front side impact airbags and traction control. All of that for safety and security and you still get either vehicle for less than MSRP.

When it comes to power on the road or off the road, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Short Crew Cab is unstoppable.

Car Dealer Named Compassionate Employer

Darlene Dusza (left), Chapter leader of the Compassionate Friends Quakertown Chapter, reads about the award her chapter is giving to Gregg Ciocca (right) of the Faulkner-Ciocca car dealerships in appreciation for the compassion and support shown to employee Donna Hesse (center) after her daughter was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Donna recommended her boss and co-workers for the thoughtful and caring way she was treated after her loss.

Faulkner-Ciocca is the first employer to receive the award in this area. There are 141 employers in 39 states being recognized by The Compassionate Friends for showing extra sensitivity to bereaved employees following the death of a child.

These employers provided additional time off without loss of benefits, allowed for flexible work schedules and assignments, gave leeway in job performance standards, fostered an environment of mutual support among coworkers, provided professional grief counseling, human resources support, or information regarding self-help bereavement organizations, and provided grieving employees with other services.

Compassionate Friends describes Gregg Ciocca as a "very caring employer and very supportive to the needs and feelings of a parent who has experienced the death of a child."

Compassionate Friends, a nonprofit organization, is a support group for families and friends who have lost loved ones, particularly children, too soon.

The Quakertown chapter meets on the second Tuesday of the month at St. Luke's Quakertown Hospital, at 7:30 p.m. in the Taylor Conference rooms. Call: 215-536-0173.
