Explore Oregon's 2nd Largest Chevrolet Inventory
We carry the second largest Chevrolet inventory in all of Oregon. That means more choices, more colors, and more trims than most dealerships can offer. As a top volume Chevrolet dealer, we move vehicles quickly and restock often, so you'll find current models with the features you actually want.
Need a Silverado 1500 with the TurboMax engine in Cherry Red Tintcoat? We probably have it. Looking for an Equinox with the panoramic sunroof and second-row captain's chairs? Check our lot. Want to compare three different Blazer EV trims side by side? Come see all three.
Our selection goes beyond the standard lineup. We stock multiple configurations for every model, from base work trucks to fully loaded family SUVs. You're not limited to what's on hand today. If we don't have your exact match, our volume relationships with Chevrolet mean we can locate it fast.
Portland drivers need vehicles that handle wet roads, carry outdoor gear, and deliver value over the long haul. We get it. That's why our inventory reflects the real needs of Northwest families, not just what looks good in a showroom.
Chevrolet SUVs and Trucks Built for Portland Weather
Portland gets about 35 inches of rain each year. Your vehicle needs to handle wet pavement, slick on-ramps, and the occasional surprise snowfall when you're halfway up Highway 26.
Our Equinox, Traverse, and Blazer SUVs come with available all-wheel drive, giving you confident traction when the roads turn slick. The Silverado and Colorado pickups offer four-wheel drive for forest service roads, boat launches, and weekend trips to the coast or mountains.
Cargo space matters here. You need room for camping gear, bikes, strollers, Costco runs, and everything in between. The Traverse offers up to 98 cubic feet with the seats folded. The Silverado 1500 bed handles plywood, kayaks, or a week's worth of supplies for the cabin.
Fuel economy counts too, especially on I-84 commutes. The Equinox delivers an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway mpg, and the Equinox EV offers up to 319 miles of estimated range on a full charge. You get the space and capability you need without constantly refueling.
We know Portland families use their vehicles hard. That's why we stock models built for real Pacific Northwest life, not just sunny-day driving.
Experience Portland's Most Trusted Chevrolet Service Center
Great service starts with respect. We don't pressure you into repairs you don't need. Our certified Chevrolet technicians at our service department explain what's happening with your vehicle in plain language, show you the issue if possible, and let you decide. When you're ready, you can schedule your service online at a time that fits your day, making the process simple from the start.
Customers tell us they appreciate our straightforward approach. One recent review mentioned that their service advisor was "communicative, professional, and timely." Another said we made their first car-buying experience "smooth and laid back." We hear that a lot.
While you wait, take advantage of our complimentary amenities: business center with WiFi, free drinks, courtesy shuttle service, complimentary car wash, and EV charging stations. We also offer monthly service specials, giving you added value on routine maintenance and recommended services. We built these conveniences because your time — and your budget — matter.
Need same-day service? Call ahead and we'll do our best to get you in. Our parts department stocks genuine OEM Chevrolet parts, so repairs are done right the first time with components designed for your specific vehicle.
We're part of Gee Automotive with 140 employees across our operation. That scale means we have the resources to handle anything, from routine oil changes to complex drivetrain repairs. But we still treat every customer like a neighbor, because that's exactly what you are.
Flexible Financing Solutions for Every Portland Family
Buying a vehicle shouldn't feel overwhelming. Our finance team works with multiple lenders, including GM Financial, to find rates and terms that fit your budget.
We offer special financing programs & lease specials throughout the year. These can include low APR offers, cash-back incentives, or deferred payment options on select models. Ask us what's available today.
If your credit history isn't perfect, we have credit assistance programs designed to help. We've worked with hundreds of Portland-area buyers to secure approvals when other dealerships said no.
Thinking about trading in your current vehicle? Use our online trade-in value tool to get a real estimate before you visit. We offer competitive trade-in values and apply them directly to your purchase.
We also provide protection packages for extended warranties, tire and wheel coverage, and paintless dent repair plans. These aren't required, but they can save you money if something unexpected happens down the road.
Financing should be transparent and straightforward. We'll show you the numbers, explain your options, and let you make the call. No games. No hidden fees.
Quality Pre-Owned Chevrolet Vehicles in Portland
Every used vehicle on our lot goes through a rigorous inspection before we price it and put it up for sale. We check mechanical systems, safety features, and overall condition. If it doesn't meet our standards, we don't sell it. Many qualifying vehicles are also eligible for TonkinCare, adding an extra layer of confidence beyond the initial inspection.
Our Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolets come with manufacturer-backed warranties, roadside assistance, and additional quality checks beyond our standard process. These vehicles qualify for special financing rates and give you extra peace of mind.
Looking for maximum value? Check out our Tonkin Value Cars. These are clean, reliable vehicles priced for budget-conscious buyers. Many are well-maintained trade-ins from local owners who simply upgraded to something newer.
We also run used vehicle specials throughout the month. You'll find markdowns on popular models, recently reduced inventory, and seasonal promotions. Browse online or stop by to see current deals.
Buying used makes financial sense, especially when you're getting a vehicle that's been tested in real Northwest conditions. Rain, wet roads, and heavy use show you what a car is really made of. Our pre-owned inventory has already proven itself.
