Sir Walter History

Sir Walter Chevrolet Company is a family-owned and operated dealership spanning four generations. We have called Raleigh home since 1928 (yes, nearly a Century!). In fact, Sir Walter Chevrolet Company was the very first Chevrolet dealership in Raleigh when we opened our doors in the Sir Walter Fire District on October 1st, 1928. We moved to our current location at 8501 Glenwood Avenue in 1997 after spending 69 years in the heart of downtown Raleigh, an effort aimed at giving us the ability to serve more customers in the greater Raleigh community. We recently remodeled this facility to accommodate a 21st-century buying experience, including a state-of-the-art showroom and a completely upgraded waiting area for our service customers. Our long-time dedication to the Raleigh community as well as our commitment to our employees, customers, and innovation have all contributed to helping us maintain a healthy business for 87 years. Thank you for your support!
