GM's Military Appreciation and First Responder Appreciation programs give service members, veterans, firefighters, police, EMTs and 911 dispatchers $500 on select new Chevrolet vehicles. Bud Clary Chevrolet in Longview is a participating dealer: verify with GM, get your authorization number, and we apply it to your purchase or lease.

Eligibility comes from GM, and GM verifies it through ID.me before you visit.
Military

First responders
For current first responders, paid or volunteer.
If you've served, or you run toward emergencies for a living, ask about this before you sign anything.
Verify with GM online, then bring your number to us.
A military ID card cannot be used in place of the authorization number. Give us the number before or at delivery.

What I wish buyers knew: I never want someone to find out about these programs after they've already signed. If you've served, or you run toward emergencies for a living, ask about it first. It's money you've earned, and it works with most of the offers already on the vehicle.
GM's current list includes these new Chevrolet models. The vehicle has to be for personal use, titled to you, and kept for at least six months if you pay cash or finance.
2026: Blazer, Blazer EV, Colorado, Equinox, Equinox EV, Express, Silverado (including Silverado HD), Silverado EV, Suburban, Tahoe, Trailblazer, Traverse and Trax.
2027: Blazer EV, Bolt, Equinox, Equinox EV, Express, Suburban, Tahoe and Traverse. Corvette is not included. GM updates the list, so check the current list before you shop.

Some special APR offers are only available through specific lenders, so ask us which current offers stack with yours. First responders who work for a government agency may have gift rules that limit the offer.
