J.D. Power Initial Quality awards have been presented for 2016, and Chevrolet has a particular reason to be pleased.
That's because, with awards given to the Chevrolet Equinox, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Tahoe, and Chevrolet Spark, Chevy brought home the most vehicle awards for 2016. Each model topped their segment for highest initial quality, and this marks Chevy's fourth year in a row collecting the most J.D. Power Initial Quality awards as compared to other vehicle brands.
That's pretty good news for anyone in Western New York who's been shopping for a new Chevrolet.
