Baton Rouge has been hit with heavy rains and widespread flooding, and we want you to be equipped with how to handle a flooded vehicle. Gerry Lane Chevrolet has compiled a list of what to do if your car, truck or SUV was affected by a flash flood or high water.

Here are some steps you should take:

1) DO NOT start your vehicle! Attempting to crank it will only cause further damage if the engine has been flooded. Just open the vehicle up and leave the windows down to let it dry it out.

2) Call your insurance agent/company and start the claims process. You can expect to receive full NADA retail value for your vehicle plus compensation for tax, title, and license if it's deemed a total loss.

3) Do not tow your vehicle to the dealership! Normally, we'd love a visit from you, but please call you...

These days, most of us get the majority of our information online. Whether we're shopping for new shoes or a new car, our search usually begins with our favorite search engine. Have you recently typed in "Chevy dealership near me?" You might want to look at more than its location before you choose where to purchase your vehicle.

"Where's a Chevy dealership near me?"

It might seem like the easiest way to pick a dealership is its location. But just like your favorite burger place is worth the drive, you should find the right dealership for you. Take into account its reputation, its customer service, and place in the community. Having a Chevrolet MEANS something. Shouldn't your interaction with your Chevrolet dealership mean something too?

Local Means Being A Part Of The Community

There are so many reasons to look for a Chevy Tahoe for sale. Purchasing a new vehicle is a very personal decision. You might love the Tahoe for different reasons than your friend, coworker, or neighbor. But whatever your reasons for looking at this award-winning SUV, you really can't go wrong. Many drivers love it for five big reasons: its style, safety, performance, technology, and options.

1. Minivans, Be Gone!

You might be on carpool duty, but there's no reason to sacrifice on style. As a parent, you've sacrificed enough already. Get all your cool points in a Chevy Tahoe, while having the space for all the kids and their gear. Your kids might even be less embarrassed when you drop them off still in your pajamas.

Whether you're an expert on the model or new to car shopping, its features, look, and performance are worth a look. And since it's a Chevy, you can expect the Chevrolet dependability and craftsmanship.

Why Choose The Chevy Trax?

As a compact SUV, you get the best of both worlds with the Chevy Trax. The easy city driving of a car or sedan meets the extras and versatility of an SUV. In Baton Rouge, in particular, there are many reasons drivers choose the Chevy Trax:

What makes a dealership the best dealership? Louisiana Chevrolet dealers, in particular, have to live up to high standards.

When you drive a Chevy, you're driving more than a vehicle-you're driving a part of American history. To do this, Chevy offers an option to please every preference and lifestyle. Are you looking for something sporty and high-performing? Check out the Corvette or the Camaro. Need more of a family car to tote all your kids and their gear?

It's summer. Warm weather is upon us, drawing us outside to play and explore. More cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bikes fill the road; more people fill the sidewalks, parks and beaches. While many of us work and play during all seasons, summer commands the biggest number of fans. With the summer rays coming in strong and vacations being booked, Gerry Lane Chevrolet would like to touch on three summer driving tips to keep in mind.

#1 Check Your A/C

A/C helps everyone keep their cool in the summer, so it's good practice to get the A/C unit in your vehicle checked before a long road trip. If you notice any odd fan noises or you notice it just isn't blowing out as cold of air as it used to, get it checked.

#2 Check Your Tires

Worn tires can blow out in the summer. The heat of summer causes the ...
