The Uftring Deal of a Lifetime is BACK!

Another Challenge From Gary Uftring 

Last August and September, Gary Uftring challenged us (his team of sales consultants) to sell 1,500 vehicles in 60 days - and we did! Thank you to all of our customers who contributed to us reaching our goal. Given the success of last Summer, Gary Uftring decided to raise the stakes! The Uftring Deal of a Lifetime is BACK, and it's BIGGER. This year, we aren't trying to sell 1,500 cars. This year, our goal is to sell 1500... and one. 1501 cars in 60 days! Can we do it? With your help we can! 

What Makes this the Deal of a Lifetime?

In order to sell 1501 cars in 60 days, we have to provide deals around the Peoria area that are too good to pass up. Some would call them "Deals of a Lifetime!" You won't believe how much you can save on your favorite cars, trucks and SUVs. It's amazing! There really is no better time to buy than these next 60 days. Visit uftringautogroup.com to check out our group-wide inventory. We look forward to getting you the Deal of a Lifetime! 

Silverado Savings

Maybe you'll relate to this story: You have spent countless winters in snow, sleet, wind and rain driving a front wheel drive vehicle - maybe even an SUV. You know that it's a pain. Getting anywhere except for down a hill is a challenge and you drive in fear of an accident all season.

Good news: there is another way! The sturdy, reliable Chevrolet Silverado makes a safe companion for harsh Midwestern winters. The weight of the truck combined with the 4x4 capabilities makes winter weather conditions all but disappear. Our current inventory at both of our Chevy dealers - Uftring Weston in Peoria, IL and Uftring Chevrolet in Washington, IL - boasts dozens of 2012 Silverados in-stock and ready to roll. And you'll save more money than ever before because they're priced to move.

Take a look at Uftring Weston's 2012 Silverado inventory and Uftring Washington's 2012 Silverado inventory today!

Jim McComb & Neil Norton No More, Long Live Uftring Weston

On Wednesday, March 23, Uftring Auto Group officially acquired Neil Norton Cadillac. The dealership has been merged with Jim McComb Chevrolet and the two are now known as Uftring Weston Chevrolet Cadillac. We are all very excited about the addition of the Cadillac brand to the Uftring Auto Group lineup and the value it will bring to you, our customer.

Cadillac has some truly amazing and extraordinary cars on its roster that only serve to enhance and flesh out the offerings of the Auto Group as a whole. In addition, it's a great compliment to the Chevrolet brand and you should be served well with the ability to shop the two iconic American brands on one lot. It's our first American luxury brand, joining our import luxury offerings from Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, and Saab.

Our founder and president, Gary Uftring, is proud to offer the Cadillac brand to Uftring customers. This fulfills a personal dream of his to have the ability for Uftring Auto Group customers to purchase a new Cadillac from an Uftring dealership. This is a joint venture between Gary Uftring and the CEO of the Uftring Auto Group, Mark Weston.

2011 Cadillac SRX - best selling luxury crossover

This week through Thursday, March 31st, we're holding a huge sale at the former Neil Norton Cadillac and Jim McComb Chevrolet locations. We have to reduce our inventory in order to fit it all at the former Jim McComb lots. At the close of this week and the beginning of April, all of the Cadillac inventory will be moved to the two former Jim McComb Chevrolet locations at the corner of War Memorial and University in Peoria. You can continue to visit this location for all of your sales, service, parts and body shop needs.

In the meantime, the former Neil Norton location will undergo an extensive renovation to the building and lot. Upon completion this fall, it will be the brand new location of Uftring Weston. Expect an exceptional and beautiful world class facility fit for the 21st century. You can expect the same great service, value, and integrity you've come to expect from Jim McComb, only now with a gorgeous new building that will streamline and enhance your experience.

The Future of Jim McComb

Jim McComb Chevrolet has two new General Managers, Jeff Loucks and Kevin Lundquist! Jeff and Kevin have dedicated a high level of service to Jim McComb for many years, and it's fitting that they were both recognized for their talents, abilities, and hard work. We interviewed both men to find out where they've come from and what they're planning for the future.

Jeff has been at Jim McComb for nearly 18 years. His favorite thing about working? Helping the customers with their driving experience and fulfilling their wishes and desires. He began as a service technician and team leader, but it was less than a year before he was promoted to Assistant Service Manager. A little over a decade later and he became the Service Manager. Jeff is a firm believer in the concept that employee satisfaction leads to customer satisfaction, and so he strives to create an enjoyable and positive work environment. He is most excited about elevating employees and seeing where they are able to go with the opportunities they are given. Customers should be excited about choices, opportunities, and a new vision of customer service, while at the same time maintaining the high level of customer service that has come to be expected at Jim McComb Chevrolet. Jeff gets a kick out of seeing people walk out of the store with a smile.

Kevin started his career at Jim McComb Chevrolet washing cars in high school. He then worked his way through the sales and finance departments, holding a managerial position in each area, until he was promoted to sales director. Kevin loves the great atmosphere at the store and the attention to customer service. Getting to know the customer is one of the advantages of the environment. Providing the same high level of customer service is one of his aims, and he also wants to bring a fresh perspective to the position. Kevin is most excited to use his experience in different fields to build great teamwork. Customers should be excited to receive the same high level of customer service they've come to expect.

Both men agreed that the Uftring Auto Group has a great business environment. Though it's a large organization, they have relationships with and feel connected to employees at the other stores. It is an environment where employees have an opportunity to grow due to the compassion and materials, tangible and intangible, they are provided with. The two men believe that Gary Uftring has a vision of business today and tomorrow, and equips his employees with the necessary tools to achieve that vision. That is what has allowed Uftring as a group to achieve the success it has.

We're excited for the future at Jim McComb Chevrolet! It's in the hands of some intelligent, kind, and capable men.
