We are proud to announce the grand opening of our new Commercial Service Center on Albany Drive, just past our Used Car Center. The new building houses commercial sales and commercial services. So whether you need a new commercial truck or van, or if you need your current one serviced, the Jim Norton Commercial Service Center is the place to come. The facility, or truck shop as we like to call it, is more than 12,000 square feet in size and has 12 bays for servicing. It has lifts that can handle 30,000 pounds and a 5 ton crane that can move from one end of the facility to the other. We can handle pretty much whatever you have got. When designing the building we asked our certified technicians, "what would you want from a truck shop?" and then gave it to them. All of our technicians are highly trained and extremely knowledgeable so our faith in them is not misplaced. Perhaps your business is in need of a vehicle that works as hard as you do. We keep the Commercial Service Center stocked with a full selection of trucks and vans, new and used, to best suit your needs. At the truck shop, our business is to help your business. We have everything from cutaways to chassis cabs to cargo vans. Contact us today to see how we can help. We are extremely excited for the future of the Jim Norton Commercial Service Center and what it will mean to not only us, but also the community at large. We want to help Broken Arrow and Tulsa businesses grow by being an asset for them to rely on. The truck shop is one more tool for them to utilize. We were honored to have U.S. Representative Kevin Hern join us for the ribbon cutting ceremony, as well as State Representative Ross Ford, Broken Arrow City Councilor Debra Wimpee, and Broken Arrow Chamber President Jennifer Conway. The ribbon cutting ceremony can be viewed here.

Compact and subcompact cars have become more and more popular over the years, but they tended to lack in trunk space. The answer to that issue ended up being the hatchback. Chevrolet's lineup has some impressive hatchback models. Take a look at their features, and we're sure you'll agree that they're ahead of the pack. The Sonic Driven by a 1.4-liter Ecotec I-4 engine that generates 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, the Chevrolet Sonic is a six-speed automatic. The Sonic gets 26 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the open road. Its safety features include a set of 10 airbags, more than most vehicles in its class. The aesthetic of the car is sporty and eye-catching, as is the chrome beltline, and a high-mounted rear spoiler is optional. This 5-seater has an impressive 19 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats left in place. With the back seats folded down, the cargo space increases to 47.7 cubic feet. The Premier trim is packed with luxury features, including six-way adjustable powered and heated seating, a larger infotainment display, a rearview camera, and driver-assist options like cruise control, rear park assist, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. The Bolt EV Propelled by an all-electric engine that pumps out 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, the Bolt EV can make a 238-mile trip before it requires a recharge. With zero engine noise, a tight turn radius, and excellent overall visibility from within the cabin, this electric vehicle is ideal for living and working in crowded cities with narrow parking and passageways. This little hatchback can pack a good bit of cargo, with 16.9 cubic feet when the back seats are up and 56.6 cubic feet when they are down. The higher trims come with heated seating, leather upholstery, a backup camera, and cruise control. The fast-charging functionality dramatically cuts down on time lost during the process, and the blind-spot monitoring and parking sensors are more than worth the cost of their addition. The Spark This uniquely designed hatchback bears a 1.4-liter Ecotec I-4 engine, generating 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a five-speed manual, but a CTV automatic version is available for this front-wheel-drive car. The Spark gets 29 miles per gallon in the city and 38 on the highway.  The Spark boasts 11.1 cubic feet of cargo space and 27.2 cubic feet when the back seats are folded down. The light-weight and low footprint of this vehicle make it extremely well-suited for city life, especially for younger drivers and first-time owners. The rear center seat position contains a storage console, increasing in-cabin storage, and all four doors have pockets of their own for smaller items. Chevrolet's lineup of hatchbacks has never been more impressive. Check out the rest of the features of the Sonic, Bolt EV, and Spark at Jim Norton Chevrolet in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma today.
