New High Country Silverado Means Business for Galena Couple

Kelly Johnson and her husband Steve Hickie came to Runde Chevrolet after hearing plenty of praise for salesperson Jake Meyer from their relatives. (Update from 5-4-20:  Jake Meyer is no longer a salesperson at Runde Auto Group.  He left a few years ago to pursue other interests.  If you’re in need of assistance or are interested in purchasing a new Chevy Silverado High Country, please contact us or call us at 866-735-5200.)

“If Jake Meyer can please my in-laws, trust me,” Kelly said. “My brother-in-law just bragged him up to the high heavens.”

The Galena, Illinois couple leased a new Chevrolet Silverado High Country 4WD crew cab for their business.

They own Main Event Hair Salon, in Galena, and Little Keg, a convenience store in Elizabeth, Illinois. The truck will mostly be used for work with the convenience store.

“We have to do a lot of hauling, purchasing product for re-sale, and delivering product occasionally,” Steve said.

The two were looking at a Cadillac SUV at a different dealership, but it came down to the experience of driving the vehicle.

“This rides so much nicer.  Who wouldn’t imagined a pick-up truck would actually ride nicer than a Cadillac?” Kelly said.

She was particular about the truck’s leather interior and she plans to accessorize her new truck with chrome running boards, mudflaps and a hard Tonneau cover.

“I said as long as I get all the bells and whistles I want on my new High Country, we are good to go,” she said. “I liked the fact that the seating is great. You have so much more legroom in this truck. I’m really impressed with it.”

The couple picked up the truck Wednesday afternoon at Runde Chevrolet in East Dubuque, Ill. Kelly was happy to see how easy the buying process was at Runde Auto Group.

“Jake’s follow-through was great,” she said. “It was just clean and quick.”
