Gary Uftring has been a fixture to central Illinois car buyers for many years, including before the acquisition of his first dealership in Washington. Mr. Uftring began his automotive career on the wash rack at a small dealership in Minonk, Illinois. Armed with the determination to succeed and the desire to become a top salesman, he took advantage of opportunities as a “fill in” sales consultant when the store was short staffed. When he turned 18, the owner of the dealership agreed to let him sell cars full time. Because he was so young, Mr. Uftring focused on exceptional product knowledge and a passion for cars – two traits that serve him well to this day. Over the years, Mr. Uftring has developed an/or acquired multiple dealerships in central Illinois. However, his focus has always remained on great customer service and a commitment to giving back to the community.

I was raised and went to school in Washington. I currently live in Eureka with my wife. My son attends the University of Iowa. Outside of work, I enjoy showing cattle, motorcycling and the Chicago Bears football team. There’s always something new every day, and I always enjoy meeting new people. Integrity, reputation and honesty are what I like most about the Uftring Auto Group organization. My favorite vehicles to sell are Silverados and Corvettes! Each customer of mine can expect to be treated like family. A promise made is a promise kept.

I am originally from Southern Illinois, and moved to Washington in 2007. I have a lovely wife, Abby, and together we have four children: Logan, Alice and Emma, and Lola. They enjoy their sports like football, basketball, baseball, and gymnastics, and Abby and I enjoy supporting them! I, myself enjoy being outside and anything with an engine. When I sell a new car to someone, what I love most is seeing the look on their face. I know I put them in the car of their dreams, and that gives me more satisfaction than anything. I love working in Washington because of the sense of community and family atmosphere. When loyal customers stop in for a cup of coffee or a bag of popcorn, I am reminded of why I love what I do. We sell cars, but we build relationships too. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning. When you buy from me, you will never be pressured into something. I pride myself on providing a fun buying experience with nothing but pure honesty and integrity. No matter what kind of car you’re looking at, I will be knowledgeable of the details and respectful of your decision. That being said, I do love to sell corvettes. Usually, a corvette buyer has wanted to buy one for a while, which makes it a special experience for both of us. Come in and see me at Uftring Chevrolet in Washington. I can’t wait to meet you!

I’m from Wabash, Indiana, but currently live in Bloomington. I have a lovely wife, Janet, and we have raised four children together. I also have two beautiful grandchildren. When I’m not selling, I love to golf and watch football and baseball. I am a huge Detroit Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and New York Jets fan! I, however, enjoy being with my family above all. What I love most about selling cars and trucks is helping people get the vehicle they want and need. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the look on a customer’s face after you have put them into their desired car. I love being motivated by my coworkers, and carrying on the deed. We are a big family here at Uftring, and I am constantly reminded by the honesty and positivity that is displayed on a daily basis. When you buy from me, you can expect a friendly, knowledgeable buying experience. I won’t see you drive off the lot in a new car until I know you are 100% satisfied. I, myself, drive a Chevy Traverse. I enjoy selling the SUVs the most because of the practicality and versatility of them. Whether you want one as well, or are looking for something different, I will help you choose! Come see me today, and I will work hard to provide you the best experience possible.

I am from Washington and currently live in Germantown Hills. My wife Melissa works at the Pekin DMV, and together we have 3 children, Jake, Wes, and our daughter Casey. Outside of work I enjoy fishing and boating. I love watching my customers get the vehicle they want and leave with a big smile. The Uftring Auto Group has great people to work with and work for.

I have been with Uftring Chevrolet since October of 2013. I was born and raised right here in Washington, IL and currently live here in town. I am married to my beautiful wife Hailey and have three daughters, Brooklynn, Channing and Lux. When I am not at work I am hanging out with my girls. When they don’t want to hang out with me, I enjoy working outside, golfing and taking on home renovation projects “that seem to never end.” A customer should expect an honest an low pressure experience. I don’t want to sell you just any vehicle, I want to help you find the one that you truly want to fit your budget. Most importantly, we will have fun. The vehicle I love selling the most is the Silverado. There are so many different applications to a Silverado it is always intriguing to me to find out how someone plans on using and enjoying theirs. Uftring Chevrolet is a place that puts our customers first. I invite you to come in and visit us today at Uftring Chevrolet in Washington!
