Chevrolet Dealer Serving New London, CT
Shoppers on either bank of the Thames have more than one place to look for a Chevrolet, and plenty of them decide the best fit sits a little farther down the coast. Grossman Chevrolet has been open along this coast since 1991, and the Old Saybrook Chevrolet dealer puts new vehicles, pre-owned inventory, upkeep, and body shop work at a single address.
Plan on roughly 23 miles and about 28 minutes from New London on I-95 S. The ride finishes with the Connecticut River crossing, and our turn comes soon after.
A Day Trip That Does Double Duty
With a little planning, one drive can cover a lot of ground.
Get Your Numbers First
Learn what the car in your driveway could bring before heading out. Walking in with a figure makes the visit much shorter.
Stay on the Interstate
The interstate is the straight line, so there are no back roads to puzzle over. If a question comes up mid-trip, the store is a call away.
Check the Deals Before You Go
Chevrolet adjusts its programs through the year, and the specials page keeps pace. A quick look beforehand shows what applies to the vehicles you plan to see.

- Cold Weather Confidence: Traction focused drivetrains help on icy waterfront hills.
- Many Brands Pre-Owned: Browse the pre-owned selection when a trade or a tighter budget is in the picture.
