For many years, Kelley Buick GMC has been proud to sponsor the Cheep Jeep raffle at Jeepin' with Judd. This year, we're more than excited to announce that this year's Jeep is extra special ... because it used to belong to Sheriff Grady Judd himself! That's right-this year the Jeep being raffled off is Sheriff Judd's personal 2005 Jeep Wrangler Utility 2-door Sport 4WD! The Sheriff's Office has announced that tickets are now available, so you don't want to miss out on your chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime Jeep. As usual, you can get your tickets at JeepinwithJudd.com for just a $20 donation per ticket. All proceeds support Polk Sheriff Charities, Inc., which in turn provides monetary support to members facing unexpected tragedies in their lives. The organization also helps with replacement of K-9 partners for the K-9 unit. Additionally, the organization also strives identify and meet other needs in the community, including buying Christmas gifts for Polk County's children in need, and supporting victims of domestic violence. The drawing for the Jeep will take place on February 28, 2021 at 3 p.m. during the final day of the annual Jeepin' with Judd event. Jeepin' with Judd is slated to be held February 26-February 28, 2020 at Clear Springs Ranch in Bartow, FL. The event will feature camping, trail rides, bounce houses, as well as plenty of vendors for both food and merchandise. Jeep owners can register to participate in the event, or spectators can attend for free. As usual, the event will be kicked off with the Show 'n Shine in Downtown Bartow on the 26th at 6 p.m. Registered participants (with their Jeepin' with Judd 2021 decal visible) will have their Jeep judged and awards for the Oldest Jeep, Best Modified, Best of Show and Most Abused will be given out by Sheriff Grady Judd later that evening.

As much as we don't like having to post something like this twice in the span of a month, we also know how frustrating it can be to try and get into a new vehicle after a hurricane ... because we've been there. Since we're in Florida (and have long worked with customers all over the country), we have the knowledge and ability to help those in the path of Hurricane Sally get into a new vehicle, and it's a priority for us that you know we're here to help. While the extent of the damage along the Gulf Coast has yet to be fully evaluated, we're already seeing pictures and getting reports from those in the Kelley Automotive Group family that the damage is extensive. We're dedicated to keeping the process as smooth and easy as possible for you amidst the fallout of this natural disaster, including using virtual test drives, our secure online credit application, and home delivery to get you a new vehicle sooner rather than later. We may even be able to help get you into a new vehicle sooner than if you just rely on your insurance company! Listen as General Manager Jason Stokes explains how we can help. While we certainly hope you and your family made it through Hurricane Sally unscathed, we're here to help our fellow Floridians (and anyone else on the Gulf Coast) if you need us. We've been working hard to build up our inventory after the inventory shortages due to COVID-19, and we'll work hard to help you replace your vehicle, whether it's for personal or business use.

If you are impacted by Hurricane Sally and need help replacing your car, truck, or SUV, please give us a call at (844) 885-6132 or fill out the form below so we can help.

As a company that has long worked with customers from all over the continental U.S. to get them in the vehicle they want, the Kelley Automotive Group well-equipped to help customers in Texas and Louisiana that are impacted by Hurricane Laura get into a new car quickly and easily. As Floridians, we've been there, and that makes us dedicated to keeping the process as smooth and easy as we can for you. While we certainly hope you were lucky and experienced very little fallout from this massive storm, we're also prepared to help if you do need a new vehicle. Not only can we offer a free virtual test drive to give you an up-close and in-depth look at any truck, SUV, or car you're interested in, but we've long-offered a secure online credit application so you can buy your new vehicle from wherever you are. We can also help you sort through appraising your vehicle (using pictures) to help you try and get the best settlement from your insurance company. Once you've decided on a new truck, car, SUV, we'll work with the shipper of your choice to get your vehicle to you in a timely manner.
