Chevrolet is trying to pull more customers into its dealerships this summer by offering a money-back guarantee on new cars and trucks. The General Motors brand said Tuesday that buyers can get refunds if they return their 2012 or 2013 vehicles for any reason. The guarantee lasts for up to 60 days from the date of purchase, and the offer ends Sept. 4. Chevy Marketing Chief Chris Perry says research shows that customers like it when companies show confidence in their cars and trucks.

Retail sales recorded their largest gain in five months in February as Americans snapped up motor vehicles and bought a range of goods even as they paid more for gasoline, government data showed on Tuesday.

General Motors says its U.S. sales rose 18 percent in August as fuel-efficient vehicles helped offset economic uncertainty and bad weather. Other automakers may not fare as well.

The month of October is just about a wrap, and it’s shaping up to be a good one for the auto industry.

US retail sales rebounded in October as demand for cars continued to climb even after the expiration of government sponsored incentives.
