History
In 1969 Art Gamblin sold his Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in southern Idaho and purchased the General Motors dealer in Enumclaw. Art had previously been a GM dealer and wanted to return to selling products he felt were superior. In 1969 the dealership sold new Chevrolets, Buicks, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles and Opels.
Art’s son, Alan Gamblin, was 13 years old in 1969. He worked washing cars and sweeping floors. Since then, he has worked in every aspect of the dealership. Alan became a partner in 1985 and then purchased the dealership in 1992. Retaining the original name, he continued to build upon a legacy of customer service and treating people fairly.
In retirement Art Gamblin continued his involvement within the local community, particularly with the Chamber of Commerce and fund raising activities for civic causes. He passed away in the spring of 2002. Following in Art’s steps, Alan Gamblin is involved as the President of the Enumclaw Community Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, active in his church and was named the Rotarian of the year by the Enumclaw Rotary club. He is President of the Northwest Chevrolet Dealers advertising association and sits on a national Chevrolet advertising committee.
Art Gamblin Motors currently employs over 60 people who work in two ‘state of the art’ facilities. Many of Gamblin Motors employees have lived in Enumclaw and the surrounding area for most of their lives. Taking care of our customers and treating them like family is the goal at Gamblin’s. Gamblin Motors employees honor the company’s mission statement of, ‘Surpassing their customer’s automotive needs by ensuring their unconditional satisfaction and exceeding expectations.’ They do this by daring to “walk the talk” and by making a difference for themselves and Gamblin Motors customers.
