Our Story →Ron Tonkin Chevrolet proudly belongs to the Tonkin Automotive Family, an institution that has shaped the Pacific Northwest's transportation landscape since 1960. Founded on a legacy of community engagement, automotive excellence, and genuine customer care, the Tonkin brand stands as a trusted hallmark across Oregon and Washington.
The 2016 acquisition of the Tonkin Family of Dealerships by Gee Automotive represented something far greater than a standard business transaction. It united two family-owned automotive groups under a common set of values — prioritizing customer service, community involvement, and trust above all else. Being a part of this extensive group means our customers unlock unmatched perks—gaining the boutique attention of a local Portland dealership backed by the vast inventory sourcing power, financial strength, and reliable accountability of a regional powerhouse.
These core values guide everything we do at Ron Tonkin Chevrolet, from sales to service to community involvement.

Vehicles are taxed based on where they are primarily registered and titled, not where they are collected. If you reside in Washington, for example, your applicable home state sales tax rates apply when registering the vehicle. Our finance desk handles state tax configurations for our Washington neighbors every single day.
