R. W. Pladsen: Your Chevrolet Dealer in Waukon, IA
Buying a vehicle in northeast Iowa usually means weighing the drive against the deal. At R. W. Pladsen, a family-owned Chevrolet dealer in Waukon, IA, you can browse our new Chevrolet inventory from home, get straight answers from people who live here, and pick up your keys on 8th Avenue SW without a long trip to a bigger city.
We sell new Chevy trucks, SUVs and cars, keep a lot full of used vehicles, and look after all of it in our own service shop. Drivers come to us from Decorah and New Hampton, Iowa, and from across the river in La Crosse, Wisconsin. More than one reviewer mentions the same thing about the visit: nobody pushed.
New Chevrolet Trucks and SUVs in Waukon
A lot of what leaves our lot is headed for real work. The Silverado 1500 handles towing, hauling and long gravel roads. When the trailer gets heavier, the Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD take over, and the 3500 HD Chassis Cab gives contractors a base for a flatbed or service body. The midsize Colorado suits drivers who want a capable truck in a smaller footprint, and the Silverado EV adds an all-electric option to the lineup.
Families have just as many choices. The Trax is an easy, efficient first SUV. The Equinox gives you more cargo room for sports gear and grocery runs, the Blazer adds a sportier feel, and the three-row Traverse carries the whole crew to Sunday dinner.
Every new vehicle we stock is listed online, and you can filter by type, year and price before you ever pick up the phone. If the exact trim or color you want isn't on the lot, ask us about ordering one. Businesses that need work trucks or a small fleet can also talk with us about Chevrolet's Business Elite program.
Used Cars, Trucks and SUVs at Our Waukon Dealership
Not everyone needs a brand-new truck, and a good used vehicle can stretch your budget a long way. Our pre-owned vehicles include Chevrolets and other makes, from dependable commuters in the under-$25K section to late-model pickups and SUVs. Each one is listed online, so you can compare a few side by side.
Buying used is where trust counts most, and it is where our sales team earns its repeat customers. After buying her third used vehicle from us, Corrina described her salesman, Greg, in a 5-star review:
“Greg is a top-notch salesman who listens to what you need, respects your budget, and values your time.” — Corrina, 5 stars
Tell us what you drive, how far you commute and what you want to spend, and we will narrow the lot down to the vehicles that make sense for you.
Shop From Home, Then Finish With Our Team
You can handle most of a vehicle purchase without leaving your kitchen table. Start by asking us to value your trade online, then fill out a credit application through our Finance Center. Once you choose a vehicle, you can adjust your payment options and complete the purchase online.
Then we bring it to you. Home delivery means a new or used Chevy can show up in your driveway in Decorah or New Hampton instead of you making the trip to Waukon.
Some people like to finish face to face, and that works too. Switch to an in-person visit at any point during sales hours, and a teammate will pick up where your online steps left off. The mix of online convenience and small-town attention is what first-time buyers tend to notice:
“No pressure or "pushy" sales people here but you get the facts and you get small town feel the moment you walk in.” — Taylor, 5 stars
Chevrolet Service and Parts in Waukon, IA
Once your Chevy is home, our service department keeps it on the road. Our GM-trained technicians work on Chevrolet vehicles day in and day out, and they repair them with genuine OEM Chevrolet parts instead of generic substitutes. For a truck or SUV you plan to drive for years, parts made for that exact model are worth it.
We handle the routine visits, like oil changes, tire replacement and recall checks, along with bigger repairs. Service runs later than sales, Monday through Friday until 7:00 PM, so you can drop a vehicle off on your way to work and pick it up on the way home. Book a time that works for you when you schedule service online.
Doing the work yourself? Our parts counter sells the same genuine Chevrolet parts our technicians use, and you can order online or stop in during parts hours.
