Devon Turk, recognized by Michael Nackers 9/16/2025: Stephen Bultinck said “In July of this year, the motor in my 2019 Chevy Silverado failed while I was on a cross-country trip near Fort Wayne, Indiana. My truck was towed to Kelly Chevrolet, and I cannot say enough good things about their service department. From the start, they were kind, courteous, and compassionate to my situation. They diagnosed the problem right away and coordinated seamlessly with my warranty company. The team kept me informed every step of the way, calling me every couple of days with updates, even when there wasn’t much new to report. They let me know when the motor was ordered, when installation began, and when the work was completed. In just about three weeks, my truck was back on the road with a brand-new motor. I highly recommend Kelly Chevrolet for any service needs. If I lived anywhere near Fort Wayne, this dealership would be my first choice for service and for purchasing a new vehicle.” in his latest 5-star review. Awesome job Devon!

He never complains, never asks me why, and never makes excuses! I appreciate all that Cory does to be a team player.
