At Ray Chevrolet, we believe that being a great dealership means being a great neighbor. We have proudly served Fox Lake and the surrounding communities for decades, and our commitment goes far beyond the showroom floor. From supporting local charities to hosting family-friendly events, we are deeply invested in making our community a better place to live and drive. 

Recently, we have had the privilege of participating in several exciting local events and receiving some incredible industry recognitions. Here is a look at what we have been up to lately. 

Building Hope with Habitat for Humanity 

We recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity for a special Build Day right here at the dealership. Our team cleared space in our GM-certified service department and worked together to build four complete walls that will be used to construct a new home for a local family. 

Beyond the Build Day, we are proud to support Habitat for Humanity by offering a discounted price on a reliable vehicle for their team, along with ongoing maintenance services. Ensuring they have safe transportation helps them continue their vital work in our area. 

Freezing for a Cause at the Polar Plunge 

There is nothing quite like jumping into the 34-degree waters of Fox Lake for a good cause! We recently sponsored and supported the “Jeeps on the Run” team for the local Polar Plunge. Thanks to incredible community support, they became the number one fundraising team, collecting over $6,000 to benefit the Special Olympics. We were thrilled to dive into the freezing water alongside them to support such an inspiring organization. 

Spring Fun: Easter Egg Hunt & Touch a Truck 

Our second annual Community Easter Egg Hunt and Touch a Truck event was a massive success! We welcomed over 100 kids and their families to our lot, where we hid 1,000 eggs for the little ones to find. 

To add to the excitement, we brought out a variety of our Chevy trucks – both big and small. Kids had a blast climbing into the driver’s seats and exploring the vehicles up close. Seeing the smiles on the faces of our local families makes this one of our favorite days of the year. We are already making plans to ensure next year’s event is even bigger and better! 

Recognized for Automotive Excellence 

While our community drives us, providing exceptional customer service remains our core focus. We are honored to announce that Ray Chevrolet has recently earned several prestigious awards: 

  • Chevrolet Dealer of the Year (6th Time): Less than 2% of Chevrolet dealers achieve this status. It is Chevrolet’s most prestigious ranking, and we are incredibly proud to bring it home to Fox Lake again. 
  • Chevrolet Mark of Excellence: We have earned this distinction for 17 consecutive years, proving our long-term commitment to quality and customer care. 
  • Top CarFax Dealer: For the 6th year in a row, we have been recognized by CarFax for our transparency and reliability in used car sales.

Ray Chevrolet is actively involved in creating a stronger community, and we are grateful to share these milestones with you.
