Earnhardt Chevrolet opens in Queen Creek

In November, Earnhardt Auto Centers opened its latest dealership, Earnhardt Chevrolet in Queen Creek. This 70,000-square-foot location offers new and certified pre-owned Chevrolet vehicles, along with all makes and models of used cars. The Earnhardt family is excited to increase its presence in this community!

As a full-service store, Earnhardt Chevrolet features a state-of-the-art showroom with modern amenities for shoppers and customers of the service department. The service department also features fully equipped service bays and a staff of accredited Chevrolet technicians. The parts store offers Chevrolet parts, GM Accessories, a full selection of tires and an array of maintenance services for almost any make or model of vehicle. 

“We are truly thrilled to open the doors to our Chevy store in Queen Creek,” said Derby Earnhardt, Dealer Principal of the new location. He’s also the grandson of Earnhardt Auto Centers patriarch Tex Earnhardt. “This community is growing rapidly and our family run dealership group is proud to be part of it. It’s our second dealership here. My parents live here. My siblings and I grew up here. This is where we have roots, so we look forward to serving Queen Creek and the surrounding areas with our ‘No Bull’ neighborly approach to buying and servicing cars and trucks.”

This new site plans to employ more than 100 people in its sales, service, parts and financing departments. Overall, Earnhardt Auto Centers employs more than 2,000 individuals in the Phoenix metro area. 

Located at 24645 S. Ellsworth Road in Queen Creek, Earnhardt Chevrolet is a relocation of the dealership’s prior location on Arizona Avenue in Chandler. The team at the new location has already mentioned plans to sponsor and support events and groups within the local community. 

Founder Tex Earnhardt started Earnhardt Auto Centers in 1951 with a Chandler-based Ford franchise. Over the years, the company expanded, opening more dealerships with Tex at the forefront. Tex’s sons, Hal and Jim Babe, joined the business, and later Tex’s grandsons, Derby, Dodge and Bull, also took leadership roles. Today, Earnhardt Auto Centers represents 15 brands at 17 dealerships throughout the Phoenix area.
