                 HONORING RAY SCARPELLI & RAY CHEVROLET

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ray Chevrolet and their 
President, Ray Scarpelli, who are celebrating their 25th Anniversary of 
doing business in Fox Lake.
  Starting with a small inventory of cars in 1991, Ray Chevrolet now 
has over 130 employees and is one of the top-selling auto dealerships 
in Illinois. They have won numerous customer service awards, including 
the 2016 Customer Satisfaction Award from DealerRater, a dealer review 
website.
  Part of the success of their business has been the dealership's 
commitment to give back to the community. Each year, Ray Chevrolet 
partners with the USO of Illinois to put on a BBQ for the Troops event 
to thank our local service members and their families. I am proud to 
have been able to join Ray and his team for this program. Since 1991, 
they have also been supporting area high schools and new drivers by 
donating cars to their driver's education departments.
  Ray has attributed Ray Chevrolet's success to their dedication to 
treating customers with respect, ``the way you'd like to be treated.'' 
Their 25 years in business proves what small business owners across the 
10th Congressional District of Illinois know to be true: customers stay 
loyal when you treat them with respect.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my sincere thanks to Ray, and the Ray Chevrolet 
team, for all they do for our local economy and our community.
