How long has Karl Chevrolet been serving Central Iowa, and what makes it different?
Karl Chevrolet was founded in 1978 at 1101 SE Oralabor Rd in Ankeny, Iowa, and has remained family-owned ever since. When Carl Moyer opened the doors, he established a set of ground rules that put the customer number one. That commitment to customer-first ownership has defined Karl Chevrolet for more than four decades and is the reason it is one of only five dealerships in GM history to win the Dealer of the Year award for 21 consecutive years.
The Chevrolet Dealer of the Year is General Motors' highest dealership honor, awarded annually to recognize top performance across sales volume, customer satisfaction scores, market share, facility standards, and parts loyalty. Karl Chevrolet has earned it every year since 2004, maintaining a trusted 4.6-star rating across 3,420 Google reviews and a 4.7-star rating across 954 verified Carfax reviews. The "Your Dealer for Life" philosophy means the relationship with every customer extends far beyond the sale.
