Sparta Chevrolet – Northern Kent County’ s Award-Winning Dealership
Sparta Chevrolet is a family-owned and operated business, just a short drive from Rockford, located on M-37 just north of 10 Mile Road. Three generations of Vanderhydes are involved including father Dave, sons Davey and Chad, and grandsons Cody and Connor.
“ We’ re hands-on and involved in our local communities. We’ re not absentee owners trying to operate several dealerships,” Davey said.
Sparta Chevrolet sells and services Chevrolet cars and trucks and has been honored with General Motors Mark of Excellence Award five times in 10 years based on its superlative customer satisfaction, service, and sales.
The dealership is the largest used car dealer in northern Kent County, and one of the few dealers in the country that also sells and services horse trailers. The Vanderhydes( past owners of a Ford dealership in Cedar Springs) also own Cedar Car Company, located on Northland Drive in Cedar Springs and have loyal customers spanning generations.
“ We have a customer who bought his first truck from my father’ s store in Cedar Springs in 1979, and his son just bought his first vehicle from my son in Sparta,” Davey said.“ Awards look nice on the wall, but to have earned that kind of trust from our customers makes me prouder than any award GM could ever give us.”
