Illinois TIME Dealer of the Year
Yemm Automotive - Illinois TIME Dealer of the Year
Yemm Automotive was selected from more than 20,000 dealers nationwide to represent the state of Illinois for the TIME Dealer of the Year award. This recognition belongs to every member of our team.
Excellence and Community, Together
The TIME Dealer of the Year award isn't just about selling cars. It recognizes dealers who demonstrate both business excellence and a deep, lasting commitment to the communities they serve. What earned this recognition wasn't any single achievement. It was the sum of decades of showing up - for guests, for employees, and for Galesburg.
"A great business plan means nothing without dedicated people behind it." - Rick Yemm, Dealer Principal
The Team Behind the Award: What You Experience Every Time You Visit
Awards are won by organizations, not individuals. At Yemm Automotive, that means a team of familiar faces who have built careers here, technicians who hold the area's highest certifications, and an expert detail crew who treat every vehicle like it's their own. It means leadership that's hands-on and present - not just a name on a sign.
The culture that earned this recognition is the same one you'll encounter the moment you walk through the door or pick up the phone.
Locally Owned & Community-Focused: Your Dollars Stay Here
As a hometown, family-owned dealership, your satisfaction isn't a metric - it's personal. When you do business with Yemm Automotive, you're supporting a team of local people and dollars that stay in the community, funding schools, teams, and causes that matter to all of us.
For more than 65 years, the Yemm team has shown up beyond the showroom, volunteering, sponsoring, and investing in Galesburg and the surrounding communities. Employees are actively encouraged to get involved, because we believe stronger communities start with the people who live and work in them.
This recognition, Illinois TIME Dealer of the Year, belongs to every person who has walked through our doors, whether as a team member, a guest, or a neighbor. Thank you for being part of the Yemm story!
