Why Dralle Watseka

Our story starts with David Dralle, company founder and father of the Dralle brothers, David Jr., Greg, and John who currently own and operate the two family dealerships. Dave Dralle married his high school sweetheart, Irma, 11 days after high school graduation. They lived on the family farm in south central Will county for 17 years, where they raised their four sons. Dralle loved farming, it's where he passed along his unwavering work ethic to his sons. The Dralle sons were very active in 4H and Future Farmers of America. It seemed a natural extension of farming was to expand into selling John Deere equipment to other farmers. Dave Sr. was a natural entrepreneur and his John Deere dealership was very successful. The experience opened the door for what became the family's destiny: cars. Dave Dralle jumped at the opportunity to buy the Chevrolet Buick dealership in downtown Peotone, IL in 1960. The business grew rapidly under his skilled management and the help of hardworking and honest employees. At one point or another, everyone in the family has worked in the dealerships. Irma Dralle attended the GM School of Accounting and helped out by managing the company books. Three of the four sons; David Jr., Greg, and John worked their way up and now own and operate the dealerships in Watseka and Peotone. The Dralle dealership's commitment to customer service garners may awards. Dralle is considered to be among the top dealers in the Greater Chicago area, having won awards for both sales and customer service. 

We are especially proud to have been named top dealer in Buick's 'Best in Class' ranking us in the top six percent of Buick dealers in the country. The dealership has also won the GM 'Mark of Excellence' award many times over.
