100 Years Of Porter

Celebrating 100 Years of Porter Chevrolet: a Century of Service and Community Commitment

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1925

In 1925, Porter Chevrolet opened its doors in Newark, DE, marking the beginning of a journey dedicated to automotive excellence and unparalleled customer service. As one of the nation's first Chevrolet dealerships, Porter Chevrolet has grown alongside the community, building a reputation for honesty, integrity, and a personalized approach to car buying and servicing. Over the past century, our family-owned and operated dealership has fostered long-term relationships, with nearly 40 percent of our business attributed to repeat customers-a testament to our unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

Deep Roots in the Newark Community

Our century-long success is deeply intertwined with the support and trust of the Newark and Wilmington, DE, community. At Porter Chevrolet, we recognize that our dealership would not have reached this incredible milestone without the people who have continuously supported us. That's why we take immense pride in giving back to the community that has given us so much. Our dedication to making a positive impact goes beyond selling and servicing vehicles-we strive to uplift and support the individuals and families who make our community strong.

One of the ways we demonstrate our commitment is through partnerships with local organizations that provide essential services, support, and opportunities for those in need. Some of the key community partners we proudly support include:

Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware - Helping to shape the future of young individuals by providing educational programs, mentorship, and a safe space for growth.
Food Bank of Delaware - Fighting hunger by providing food assistance to families and individuals facing food insecurity in our local area.
Wounded Warrior Project - Supporting veterans and their families through essential programs, rehabilitation services, and financial assistance.
Nemours Children's Hospital - Contributing to world-class pediatric care, ensuring that children receive the medical attention they deserve.
Make-A-Wish - Helping to create life-changing experiences for children with critical illnesses, bringing joy and hope to their lives.
Autism Delaware - Advocating for and supporting individuals with autism and their families by providing resources, education, and community programs.

These collaborations are just a few examples of how we remain dedicated to the well-being and growth of Newark and its residents. Whether through charitable donations, volunteer efforts, or hosting community events, we are honored to give back to the people who have supported us for 100 years.
