Welcome to Ron Tonkin Chevrolet

Why Portland Metro Drivers Choose Ron Tonkin Chevrolet

Portland has no shortage of dealerships. What keeps families coming back to Ron Tonkin Chevrolet usually comes down to three things: pricing you can actually trust, a lineup deep enough to cover a daily commuter and a weekend hauler, and a team that has been doing this since long before "customer experience" was a buzzword.

We're part of the Tonkin Automotive Family, an Oregon-born group that has served the region since 1960 and joined the Gee Automotive network in 2016. That combination means you get the buying power and inventory reach of a larger group, without losing the local, no-pressure feel of a neighborhood dealership.

A few specifics worth knowing before you visit:

• Market-driven, upfront pricing. We research current market values across our inventory so the number you see is the number we start from, not a number designed to be negotiated down from something inflated.
• Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned benefits. Qualifying CPO vehicles carry factory-backed limited warranties and roadside assistance.
• TonkinCare on used inventory. Every used vehicle we sell goes through inspection and is backed by our TonkinCare program.
• Flexible buying paths. Browse inventory, get a trade appraisal, calculate payments, and secure financing pre-approval, all before you set foot on the lot.

Explore the Chevy Lineup Built for the Pacific Northwest

Chevrolet builds a genuinely wide range, and four models do a lot of the heavy lifting for Portland-area drivers: the Equinox for daily commuting, the Tahoe for families who need space and towing power, the Colorado for a truck that fits in a garage, and the Silverado HD for drivers who need serious capability.

• The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox starts at an MSRP of $28,700 and is built for daily commuters and first-time buyers. It runs on a 1.5L turbo engine with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available, plus an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in.
• The 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at an MSRP of $62,995 and is built for families who need space and weekend towing power. Properly equipped with the Max Trailering Package, it can tow an estimated 8,400 lbs.
• The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado starts at approximately $32,400 to $34,495 depending on configuration, and suits midsize truck buyers who still want something that fits in a garage. It runs on a 2.7L TurboMax engine, tows an estimated 7,700 lbs when properly equipped, and offers 17 available bed tie-down points.
• The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD starts at approximately $45,600 to $48,195 for the 2500 HD and is built for heavy towing, trailers, and work truck duty. With the available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel, the 2500 HD can tow an estimated 20,000 lbs as equipped.

All figures above are estimates. MSRP excludes tax, title, license, and dealer-added fees, and pricing and availability change frequently, so confirm current figures with our sales team before you visit.

Which Chevy Fits Your Portland Commute or Weekend Trip?

If you're commuting into Portland from Beaverton or Hillsboro five days a week, the Equinox's standard driver-assist suite and available all-wheel drive earn their keep on wet Highway 26 mornings more than they do on a spec sheet. If your weekends run toward Mount Hood, the Gorge, or a boat launch near Vancouver, the Tahoe or Silverado HD's towing numbers stop being abstract and start being the reason the trip happens at all.

And if you need a truck that tows well but still parks like a normal vehicle, the Colorado splits that difference. Actual towing capacity, payload, and fuel economy depend on trim, drivetrain, and how the vehicle is optioned, so talk to our team about the exact configuration you need before you commit to a number.

Certified Chevy Service Near Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Vancouver

A dealership is only as good as the service department behind it, and this is where a lot of Portland-area drivers end up making their real decision.

Every service visit uses GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco parts, so what goes back into your vehicle matches what came out of the factory. Multi-point vehicle inspections cover tires, wiper blades, fluid levels, brakes, and battery health as part of routine visits, which catches small issues before they become expensive ones.

Flexible Financing for Every Portland Metro Driver

Buying a Chevrolet shouldn't hinge on having a perfect credit score. Our finance center works with a range of national and regional lending partners to structure loans for a wide spectrum of credit profiles, including buyers working through credit rebuilding, first-time car buyers, and more complex financial situations.

We also offer $0-down finance and lease configurations on select new Chevrolet models for qualifying credit, though putting some money down can still lower your monthly payment or shorten your loan term. If you're trading in a current vehicle, our online trade tool gives you a preliminary value before you ever drive onto the lot, and our team applies that value directly toward your next purchase.

Most of this can start from your couch: browse inventory, get a trade estimate, run payment scenarios, and secure a credit pre-approval online, then finish the paperwork and pick up your vehicle in person.

Proudly Serving Portland, Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, and Vancouver

Our showroom sits at 122 NE 122nd Ave in Portland, but our customer base stretches well past city limits. Drivers commute in from Gresham for both sales and service, and Beaverton and Hillsboro families cross the river regularly for the lineup and financing options they can't find closer to home.

We also work with plenty of customers from Vancouver and across the Columbia River in Washington. Out-of-state buyers can complete a purchase here with a valid ID, proof of insurance, and a payment or financing plan in place. Our finance desk handles Washington state tax and titling details as a routine part of the job, not a special case.

Tigard drivers headed south on 217 and Gresham drivers coming in on Highway 26 both land in the same place: a dealership built to handle the full range of Pacific Northwest driving, from daily commutes to weekend towing runs.
