We are proud to be a locally-owned family business serving the tri-cities region and beyond. We strive to be different than typical negotiating-style dealerships in order to provide a more relaxed, honest, and enjoyable car buying experience.
We are very proud of our heritage and culture which largely comes from being a part of the Rydell Auto Group. Rydell Chevrolet was founded by Leonard Rydell (1913-2000) who started in the car business in the 1940's in Montgomery, MN. In 1954, at Chevrolet's request, he moved to Grand Forks , ND to operate the Chevrolet dealership there. Leonard had many strongly held business and personal philosophies that served him well. These philosophies, known as "Leonardisms", help guide our group through our daily business and personal decisions. In 1976, Leonard sold the business to his son, Wes Rydell. Under Wes' direction, Rydell Chevrolet converted to the one price, no hassle, no haggle pricing policy that is followed today. The Rydell Group has now grown to 78 dealerships in 16 states and continues to grow.
