Though many things have changed in the 75 years Baum Chevrolet-Buick has been in business, much remains the same. Today as in 1928, the Baum family greets customers with a smile of recognition a, reassuring handshake and a sympathetic ear.

From the beginning, selling and servicing automobiles for Central Illinois families has been more than a business for the Baum family. Baum’s tradition of service began with Arthur Baum in 1928. Arthur, who first came to Illinois to help with the corn harvest, believed honesty and hard work were the foundation for success. Today, Scott Baum and his group of employees lead the dealership, selling and servicing cars for some of Arthur’s first customers, their children and grandchildren.

Baum Chevrolet-Buick has expanded greatly in size, service and staff, growing toward a goal of one-stop sales and service. Baum customers enjoy an exceptional range of service, from body work and detail to quick lubes, 24 hour towing and car rental in one convenient location. The dealership stocks a large selection of cars, trucks and vans, finds financing for the toughest circumstance and tailors each transaction to our customers’ unique needs.

Over decades, a team of dedicated sales and service staff has brought the Baum motto, “Where Service is a Tradition”, to life. Satisfied customers have become loyal friends, returning again and again to fuel the dealership’s longevity. We welcome you to become part of the Baum family and experience the Baum tradition of service.
