Chevy Dealer for Colorado Springs Drivers: Why It’s Worth the Drive to Emich Chevrolet
Last updated September 29, 2026 | Emich Chevrolet, 2033 S Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80227 | About 75 miles from downtown Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs has Chevrolet dealers of its own, so why do Springs drivers make the hour-plus run up I-25 to Lakewood? Usually for one of three reasons: they want a bigger selection to compare in one visit, they want a transparent price before they leave home, or they want a family-owned store with a century of history in the business. This page lays out what Emich Chevrolet offers Pikes Peak region shoppers, how to plan the trip so it takes one visit, and how service works once you are back home.
