Champion Chevrolet in Reno NV

At the heart of Reno, Nevada, Champion Chevrolet stands as an automotive beacon, offering a haven for Chevrolet enthusiasts and seekers of automotive excellence. Nestled in the thriving and vibrant Reno landscape, our dealership epitomizes the very essence of Chevrolet's illustrious heritage, expertise, and commitment to unparalleled customer service.

With a distinguished history spanning decades, Champion Chevrolet's foundation is etched by the legacy of owner Jack Stanko Sr. Starting out at the age of 17, Stanko Sr. graduated high school and got a job at a dealership in Youngstown, Ohio, where he was born and raised. From sweeping floors, he soon moved through the ranks until he reached service manager. From there he’d move to other dealerships until finding himself in Albuquerque, New Mexico as general manager of a large Chevrolet store. This would put him in fateful contact with an associate selling a dealership in Reno. In 1988, Stanko Sr. would buy Champion Chevrolet. Highlighting his storied career, Jack Stanko Sr. was nominated from all the dealerships across the country for the 2023 TIME Dealer of the Year award. From our inception, our ethos has centered around more than just vehicular transactions; it's a harmonious blend of passion, knowledge, and a desire to curate an exceptional automotive journey for every visitor.

The commitment to our staff at Champion Chevrolet resonates through the very fabric of our establishment. With a workforce of 135 individuals operating within our expansive 80,000 square-foot facility in Reno, our dedication to nurturing talent and fostering growth is evident. A prime example is found in Jack Stanko Jr., mirroring the legacy of his father's dedication. Starting at the dealership at the age of 16, he navigated through the ranks, moving from washing vehicles to currently steering the helm as our esteemed general manager. The story of Jack Stanko Jr. encapsulates our ethos: a commitment to empowering our employees, fostering an environment where dedication, loyalty, and ambition are rewarded and cherished.
