Chevy Equivalent of Laura Buick/GMC?

amxguy1970 · December 16, 2019

As the title asks, we all know Laura GMC is a volume dealer and has excellent deals to fly in and drive off which is almost always beating local deals. My question is, does Chevy have a similar dealer or two around the country the is mostly online/volume driven? I have heard of Bomnin Chevy and also Auto Nation Arrowhead but they don't seem to have quite the inventory. Just curious, anyone know of some Chevy dealers that do that kind of discount volume as Laura? Classic Chevy is a large volume dealer but I don't think they fall in the same category though.

It's easy for them to do the volume discount because you won't return for warranty repairs and they don't have to see you again. If buying a GM you will have something break and you will want the priority service that comes from buying at a local dealer. Show up in a car from Laura GMC and watch yourself get put in the back burner while other people get in and out.

If you can do all repairs yourself, by all means get the discount vehicle.

Back on your original question, I think you mentioned the major dealers around the country.

Never had a problem before with service, I have never bought a vehicle from my local dealer, usually from around the metroplex or another dealer elsewhere. Being a GM we haven't had a catastrophic failure so we can plan our trips to the dealer for warranty work. When I call to ask how backed up they are or how far out they are on rentals not once have they asked if I bought the car there, they always just tell me how far out they are backed up. Not to mention they should want to take good care of me and try and earn my business next time, so I am not worried about the customer service from buying local, especially if they are thousands of dollars high; I will get treated the same regardless...

THIS. I've gotten the old "OH, you didn't buy that car here!" before when I went in for warranty work. And the service visit went downhill fast from there.

Weber Chevrolet St. Louis

They actually have leftover 19 2wd reg cab long beds for 22G

There was a DBL cab for 27G

Dealers near me never discount the WT's more than a couple Grand. 8G off that truck is huge.

If I needed a small fleet of trucks for a small Const. Co or similar, this was be the way to get 4 trucks under $100,000.

Unheard of.

You'd still have enough left to get toolboxes,toppers etc..

Maybe if you live in some small town with one GM dealer for 100 miles that could happen. If you live in a major metro area where a GM dealer is a stone's throw away, not how it works.
