Chalut auto in Joliette: a deeply rooted family history
Chalut auto is a family business deeply rooted in the Joliette region. Founded by Mr. Amable Chalut, the company was then carried forward by Mr. André Chalut, followed by Mr. Alain Chalut. Today, this family continuity continues with Mr. Alexandre Chalut, general manager of the dealership.
This history is part of how we work. We understand the realities of local drivers: winter mornings, country roads, work commutes, weekends at the cottage, family activities, the needs of business owners and daily trips between Joliette and nearby municipalities.
For nearly 60 years, our role has been to help customers choose a vehicle that truly fits their lifestyle. Whether you are looking for an SUV, an electric model, a pickup or a practical vehicle for the city, our team takes the time to guide you clearly.
A reliable dealership in Joliette for Chevrolet, Buick and GMC
At Chalut auto, we offer Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles for a wide range of needs. Some customers want a compact and accessible vehicle for everyday driving. Others are looking for a comfortable SUV, an electric model or a pickup that can take on more for work and leisure.
Our role is to help you compare models, trims, equipment, posted prices, financing options and inventory availability. You do not have to guess on your own what best suits your reality. Our advisors can explain the differences simply, without unnecessary pressure.
For a driver from Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, an agile and efficient vehicle can make a lot of sense. For a family from Saint-Charles-Borromée, space, comfort and safety may be priorities. For a business owner in Lanaudière, a rugged pickup can become an essential work tool. These are the kinds of concrete realities that guide our recommendations.

Concrete models for real needs
We know customers want clear points of reference. Certain Chevrolet, Buick and GMC models can meet very different profiles, depending on budget, driving habits and everyday needs.
The Chevrolet Trax is a relevant choice for everyday driving. Its compact size, modern style and practical nature are well suited to urban trips, errands, family outings and local roads.
The Equinox EV is designed for drivers who want to move into electric driving with a modern and versatile SUV. For those already looking toward the next generation of electric vehicles, the Bolt EV 2027 is also a model to watch closely.
Customers who need capability, strength and versatility can also look at pickups. A model like the GMC Sierra 1500 can meet the needs of work, towing, leisure and more demanding driving.
As a guide, some currently posted examples provide concrete points of reference:
- Chevrolet Trax LT 2026: posted cash purchase price of $31,055.29, with a 1.2 L 3-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission.
- Chevrolet Equinox EV RS 2026: posted cash purchase price of $43,531.01.
- Chevrolet Bolt LT 2027: posted cash purchase price of $32,767.01, with listed rebates totaling $12,200 in the posted offer.
- GMC Sierra 1500 ELEVATION 2026: example pickup posted at $71,523 cash purchase price, with financing listed over 84 months at 2.49% and $0 down payment, according to the posted conditions.
Prices, rebates, rates, inventory and conditions may change. The simplest option is to contact us directly to validate the latest information and receive personalized advice.
Available inventory to move forward faster
An available vehicle can make all the difference. When a customer wants to change vehicles quickly, compare several options or take advantage of a current offer, inventory becomes a concrete advantage.
At Chalut auto, our Chevrolet, Buick and GMC inventory allows you to see real vehicles, compare colors, trims, equipment and prices. You can sit inside the vehicle, check the space, experience the comfort, look at the cargo area, ask your questions and imagine your daily life on board.
This is especially useful when comparing a Trax, an Equinox EV, a Bolt EV 2027 or a pickup based on your budget and needs. Some customers want to reduce fuel costs. Others want more space. Some need to tow or carry equipment. Others simply want a pleasant, reliable and well-equipped vehicle for the road.
When the vehicle is available and ready, our team can efficiently organize the next steps: financing, preparation, documents, explanations and delivery.

Electric infrastructure designed for our team
Electric vehicles are playing a growing role in purchase decisions. At Chalut auto, we have also adapted our internal operations to this new reality.
Our facility includes 17 electric charging stations, including 2 fast-charging stations. These stations are not accessible to the public. They are used by our team to quickly prepare new vehicles, perform certain checks and support operations related to electric models.
This internal infrastructure allows us to be better organized when supporting customers interested in the Equinox EV, the Bolt EV 2027 or other Chevrolet, Buick and GMC electric models. Moving to electric driving often brings several questions: range, home charging, charging on the road, winter driving, charging time, daily habits and cost of use. Our team can help you understand these points with simple, concrete explanations.
Competitive prices and a clear approach
Buying or leasing a vehicle is an important decision. That is why we focus on a transparent approach. We take the time to explain posted prices, applicable offers, financing options, possible rebates and the costs to expect depending on the vehicle selected.
A competitive price is not limited to the amount shown on a listing. It is also important to understand what is included, what is excluded, the financing term, the rate, possible protections, applicable fees and the overall value of the vehicle for your use.
Our goal is simple: to help you make an informed decision. Whether you are shopping for a Chevrolet Trax, an Equinox EV, a Bolt EV 2027, a pickup or another Chevrolet, Buick or GMC model, we want you to know exactly where you are going.
Certified service with convenient hours
Our relationship with you does not stop when your vehicle is delivered. It continues with service. At Chalut auto, certified service is central to our commitment to customers.
Our regular service hours are convenient for drivers in the region: Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sales is open Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m..
For summer 2026, a special schedule applies to the service, parts and body shop departments: on Fridays, these departments close at 2:30 p.m. Sales remains open on Fridays until 5:30 p.m.. This summer schedule is planned from June 29 to October 2, 2026.
In Quebec, regular maintenance is essential. Cold weather, salt, spring road damage, long summer drives and temperature swings put vehicles to the test. An oil change, brake inspection, tire check, battery service or visit before vacation can help avoid many unpleasant surprises.
Our certified service team can clearly explain what needs to be done, why it is recommended and how to plan maintenance for your Chevrolet, Buick or GMC vehicle.
A local relationship built on trust
In Joliette, reputation is built over time. Customers return when they feel listened to, respected and well supported. Testimonials from local customers reflect this relationship: a well-advised purchase, a pleasant delivery, courteous service, a well-answered question, and an experience positive enough to return or recommend the team to someone close.
This local trust is valuable. We know our customers drive on the same roads, live in the same neighborhoods, visit the same local businesses and share the same seasonal realities. That is why we work with a human, accessible and lasting approach.
A concrete commitment to the Lanaudière community
Being a local dealership also means contributing to the community. Chalut auto is involved with the Fondation pour la Santé du Nord de Lanaudière, a commitment that reflects our attachment to the people here.
This community presence is part of our identity. We are not only located in Joliette: we are part of the territory. We share the same roads, the same seasons, the same realities and the same desire to see the region move forward.
