What AUTOMOTORA INALCO does

AUTOMOTORA INALCO, doing business as Inalco Chevrolet, is an authorized Chevrolet (Concesionario Oficial) dealership group operating exclusively in Chile. The company retails the complete General Motors passenger and commercial vehicle lineup through multiple physical branches (Sucursales) and digital channels, organized across seven product segments: passenger cars (Sail, Onix), SUVs (Groove, Tracker, Captiva XL, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban), pickups (Montana, Colorado, Silverado), battery-electric vehicles (Captiva EV, Spark EUV, Equinox EV, Blazer RS EV), plug-in hybrids (Captiva Híbrida), commercial vans (N400 Max), and Euro VI-compliant heavy-duty trucks (NKR, NPR, NQR, NPS, FRR, FVR, FVZ). Vehicle pricing spans roughly 9.7M CLP for entry-level cars to 76M CLP for the top-trim FVZ truck.

The business is anchored on a full-stack dealer operating model that bundles new-vehicle sales with an integrated aftersales platform: authorized technical service, online appointment scheduling, genuine OEM parts and accessories, the ChevyPlan captive financing product, warranty administration, GM's OnStar connected-vehicle services, and a dedicated Takata airbag recall program. A separate used-vehicle portal at inalcarusados.cl extends the addressable market to pre-owned buyers, while a dedicated Flotas (fleet) channel addresses corporate and commercial buyers with volume plans and account management. Marketing and customer acquisition run through the corporate website and a full social stack (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok).

The company is privately held, headquartered and operating solely in Chile, with approximately 203 employees. No parent company, subsidiaries, funding history, M&A activity, or executive team disclosures are present in the source data. Underlying technology is limited to the standard Chevrolet dealer website platform with online scheduling and Webpay payment integration; no proprietary AI, data, or software assets are disclosed.
