Since its founding on September 1, 1971, Paul-Richard Chevrolet GMC has been a cornerstone of the Peru community, embodying a rich history of dedication and excellence in the automotive industry. Established by Richard Ooms and his son-in-law Paul Ravesloot, our Peru dealership was born from a shared vision and a passion for automobiles. Our commitment to serving customers with integrity and personalized attention has been the foundation of our success.
Locally Owned GMC Dealership in Peru, IN
The Ravesloot family has played a pivotal role in the dealership's evolution. Paul Ravesloot, who initially served as vice-president and later president, retired in 2000. Paul’s son, Lon Ravesloot, began his career with Paul-Richard in 1986 and became Dealer Principal in 2012, ensuring that the family legacy continues to thrive. Our tradition of treating Indiana drivers like family has fostered lasting relationships and trust within Miami County.
Paul-Richard Chevrolet GMC Transformations & Growth
Our local auto dealership has undergone significant transformations over the years, with the original building dating back to the 1940s. Seven expansions and two major renovations have modernized our facilities, with the most substantial renovation completed in 2012. This commitment to growth was further demonstrated by the recent acquisition of an adjacent property, allowing us to expand our inventory of new and used vehicles.
These enhancements ensure that we can better serve Peru auto enthusiasts by offering a great selection of new GM and pre-owned vehicles and a more comfortable shopping experience.
