Bird Chevrolet Building

We are delighted to announce that the McGrath Family of Dealerships is continuing to grow!  We have received the opportunity to purchase Bird Chevrolet located in Dubuque. This particular dealership has been family owned by the Walsh family for over 90 years.

“It is bittersweet for all of our family, we grew up around this dealership and it has been an integral part of all of our lives.”

– Tim Walsh

The McGrath Family of Dealerships was selected by the Walsh family because they are confident that we as a family owned dealership will continue their legacy and will ensure that customers receive the best experience possible!  We will begin to working with the Walsh family and their employees to begin the transition on June 1st and will take full ownership on June 22nd.
