Once upon a time many
years ago, Deputy Joel Diers of
the Wright County Sheriffs
Department had a dream.
I always had a goal of own-
ing my own car dealership, hesaid.
A lifelong Wright County
resident, Diers grew up on a
farm near Howard Lake and in
1968, at the age of 18, began
chasing that dream, securing his
first job in auto sales. A few
years later, that would take a
back seat to law enforcement as
he worked full-time on night
patrol, selling cars part-time by
day.
In the years before Country
Chevrolet in Annandale became
available for sale, he admired it
from afar, focusing on his work
at hand and preparing for future
opportunities. Eventually, he
went to part-time night work
with the sheriffs departmentand started selling cars full-time
at Gould Bros. in Monticello.
When Country Chev was put
on the market, Diers was ready
to make an offer and took over
operations on February 18,
1992. Five years later, in 1997,
salesman Patrick Francis would
join the business as a partner.
Its his 44th year selling
cars, with 21 of them at Coun-
try Chev, and Joel Diers is
clearly in his element. The deal-
ership supports 22 full-time and
three part-time employees. One,
the youngest of Joel an,d wife,
Sylvias three daughters, is the
dealerships manager, Kristen
Salmela.
Consumer Reports kudosA full-service GM dealer-
ship, Country Chevrolet also
offers parts and service and
detailing, as well as paint-less
dent repair for small dings.
Business is good, Diers said,
and with some 200 new and
used models on the lot, selec-
tion is even better.
The 2014 Silverado is all
new, he reports, re-styled from
the ground up. And if you seek
no less than the best sedan in its
class, look no further than the
American-made 2014 Chevy
Impala, rated last month by
Consumer Reports as the top
choice among similar models,
including the Audi A6 and
Lexus LS 460 L. The Impalascored 95 points out of a possi-
ble 100, and also earned the
third-highest score overall.
Its the first American sedan
in 20 years to win, Diers said.
And were pretty excited about
that. It just doesnt happen very
often. Face it, Japan had us beat
for a few years, but now weve
got the quality, weve got the

Open House Sept. 26-28
A major renovation of Coun-
try Chevrolets showroom,
built in adherence to GMs
facility-image standards, has
just been completed and
includes a new customer
lounge, write-up area and rest-
rooms. To showcase the new
facility, an open house will be
held Thursday, September 26,
through Saturday, September28, which the public is most
welcome to attend.
Country Chevrolet is located
at 840 East Elm Street, off
Highway 55 in Annandale.
Sales hours are 8:30 a.m.-7:30
p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8:30
a.m.-6 p.m. Fridays, and 8
a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays. Service
hours are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Monday-Friday, and 8 a.m.-
noon on Saturdays. Customers
are also invi ted to shop anytime
at www.countrychev.com.
More than 60 percent of his
business originates on t he Inter-
net, Diers said, explaining that
car buyers can negotiate a price
by telephone, after which the
dealership arranges fund trans-
feral, shipping and delivery.
And new or used, online or
on the lot, if Country Chevro-
let doesnt have the car you
want, the dealership will find it
and have it shipped in. Charac-
terizing their business style as
very non-confrontational,
Diers said, We dont hassle or
pressure our customers. Were
right up front with people when
we tell them our prices, and
when we appraise trade-ins, we
give a fair price.
Interest rates have never
been lower, he pointed out,
which also makes this a great
time to buy.
The average age of cars cur-
rently being driven on American
roads is six to ten years, he
said. We can offer people
something thats better made,
with better fuel economy, and
safer, too.
