Popular SUVs Provide A Successful Year (So Far) For GMC
Now in the middle of 2018, GMC recently announced that it is increasing its production after its strongest first quarter ever for the GMC Acadia and the GMC Terrain. According to a press release from the GMC Newsroom, GMC finished the first quarter with global sales up 9.4% and sales for the Terrain alone up 38%. That is why the company also has announced the addition of a third shift at its Spring Hill Assembly facility in Spring Hill, TN (the home of the GMC Acadia). Our team at Walker Motor Company, your home for a GMC in Kittanning, is excited by this news because it shows that GMC is continuing its commitment to engineering and sells quality vehicles that our customers are sure to love.
“Our redesigned Terrain and Acadia have found their stride in the market and our full-size Yukon and Yukon XL continue to lead the luxury full-size segment with premium appointments and features,” Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC, said in the release. “This sales momentum will continue to be built on a strong product portfolio for our global markets.”
It is no wonder that the GMC Acadia and the GMC Terrain are extremely attractive to today’s consumer. The 2018 model of the Acadia has the GMC Infotainment System with voice recognition and touchscreen technology — and the controls right near your fingertips — that makes focusing on the road easier than before. The standard Rear Vision Camera is there to guarantee you always know what is right behind you when you are backing up. It also has a Teen Driver system, which is a built-in system that promotes safe driving habits for your teenagers who might be brand new to the driving world.
The 2018 model of the Terrain lets you choose from three different turbocharged engines. It also provides you with this segment’s only combination of a 9-speed transmission and a standard turbocharged engine. You will be able to store your cargo through a front-to-back flat load floor, which uses fold-flat front-passenger and second-row seats to give you extra room.

Burton To Be Home Of New GM Parts Processing Plant
Burton, Michigan has been selected to be the home of the new General Motor parts processing center, which is expected to open in early 2019. Approximately 650-700 employees will transfer over from the current current Davison Road parts processing center to staff this new building. The new facility will be 1.1 million square-feet, which is 400,000 square feet larger than the current processing center.
NorthPoint Development and GM are planning to spend $65 million to build and outfit the facility with the equipment it needs. The site is being leased for 12.5 years from NorthPoint Development and GM stated that the new parts processing center will be the their largest investment in logistics and warehousing in 40 years. Walker Motor Company, your Butler GMC home, is thrilled to see how this new parts processing center will improve how our OEM parts are shipped so we can better serve our clients.
