Gary Uftring has been a fixture to central Illinois car buyers for many years, including before he acquired his first dealership in Washington, Illinois. Mr. Uftring began his automotive career on the wash rack at a small dealership in Minonk, Illinois. Armed with the determination to succeed and the desire to become a top salesman, he took advantage of opportunities as a “fill-in” sales consultant when the store was short-staffed. When he turned 18, the owner of the dealership agreed to let him sell cars full time. Because he was so young, Mr. Uftring focused on exceptional product knowledge and a passion for cars – two traits that continue to serve him well to this day. Over the years, Mr. Uftring has developed and/or acquired multiple automotive dealerships in central Illinois. However, his focus has always remained on great customer service and a commitment to giving back to the community.
