About Gregg Young and the Gregg Young Automotive Group
“The most rewarding aspect of my automotive career is the culture we have built within our dealerships. We want every customer to be happy when they walk out the door, and we will do anything to make that happen.”
- Gregg Young
Gregg Young began his automotive career in 1989, selling used cars at a Chevrolet dealership. By 1996, he had advanced to General Sales Manager at another Chevrolet dealership. In 2000, he took a significant step by purchasing a Chevrolet dealership on the north side of Omaha, which he later relocated to a new auto mall in West Omaha in January 2006. Since then, Gregg's commitment to exceptional customer service and competitive pricing has transformed Gregg Young Chevrolet into one of the top-volume Chevrolet dealerships in Nebraska and eastern Iowa.
