Located on Routes 1 and 24 East in Watseka, Illinois, Dralle's of Watseka sells and services Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac and GMC vehicles. Based on the Watseka dealership's outstanding sales performance, overall customer satisfaction and location, GM has chosen Dralle's of Watseka to be a part of their long range plan.

"We are thankful for General Motors' commitment to our community and even more so we are extremely grateful to the families and businesses throughout Iroquois County, who have supported us over the last 18 years," said John Dralle, vice president and general manager. "It's great that GM recognizes our store and this community as vital parts of their future.  We will continue to reinvest in our business to be more competitive than ever."
