So sad when I heard the news of this. I have so much respect for Nathan Deien and everyone at Deien Chevrolet for everything I learned when I started my career in the Automotive industry there. The birthplace of Chevy Dave! My thoughts are with the whole team as they move on to their next endeavors! I wish them all the best of luck!
This wasn’t an easy message to write, but it comes from the heart. Thank you for 47 years of friendship, trust, and support.
Friends and Valued Customers,
Even as we write this, it’s hard to believe that after 47 wonderful years, the Deien family is beginning to wind down operations at Deien Chevrolet. Our time as your hometown dealership has meant more to us than words can express.
As we prepare for this transition, we want to make sure our customers are taken care of. We will not be taking on new business after December 4, but any service appointments scheduled on or before that date will still be completed. You may continue to schedule service through December 4, and we will honor all appointments up to December 19.
What began in 1978 as a small family business grew into something far greater than we ever imagined — a community of customers who became friends, and friends who became like family. We are deeply grateful to every person who walked through our doors, trusted us with their vehicles, shared their stories, and supported us along the way. Those relationships have been the heart of Deien Chevrolet.
As we turn the page, we hope you’ll continue supporting local businesses. Small communities thrive because of people like you — people who choose hometown shops, hometown service, and hometown values. Trenton, Clinton County, and the surrounding area are special places, and we know they will continue to flourish when neighbors support neighbors.
Thank you, sincerely, for allowing us to serve you for nearly five decades. It has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives.
With deep appreciation,
The Deien Family
Deien Chevrolet, Trenton, Ilinois
