Buick and GMC Dealer near Portage, Indiana

Currie Motors Buick GMC is the nearest Buick and GMC dealership to Portage, about nine miles south on Route 49. Sierra and Sierra HD in depth, service open Saturdays for people who work turns, and a finance department that works with more than thirty lenders.

Nine Miles South on Route 49

Portage and Valparaiso sit at opposite ends of the same road. Route 49 runs from I-94 straight down to US-30, and we are on the corner of it at 1551 West. Fifteen to twenty minutes most of the day, no toll road, no interstate needed once you are off I-94.

We are the closest Buick GMC dealership to Portage. The next nearest are in Merrillville and Highland, both further west and both further from you than we are. That is unusual enough in this market to be worth stating plainly.

Built Around Shift Work

The mills, the Port of Indiana and the I-94 logistics corridor put a lot of Portage on turns and nights. Sales is open until 9 PM Monday to Friday and service runs Saturdays, so a normal week does not have to be rearranged around us. Saturday service →

Trucks in Depth

Sierra 1500 from Pro through Denali and Sierra HD 2500 and 3500, usually several of each configuration rather than one of each. Burns Harbor and the industrial corridor run on them. Sierra inventory →

More Than Thirty Lenders

Not one bank with one set of rules. Past repossession, bankruptcy, thin file or no credit history at all, we have somewhere to send it. Credit financing →

Almost Everything Used Is Certified

The great majority of our used lot is certified through CarBravo, and unlike most manufacturer programs it can certify makes other than its own. A used Ford or Toyota here can carry certification too. Certified used →

Who We Are

Currie Motors Buick GMC is part of Currie Motors, a family-run group with stores across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. Currie Motors Ford of Valpo is our sister store, half a mile away on Morthland Drive, which is useful if you are cross-shopping brands or need collision work.

We hold 4.9 stars from more than 360 reviews on DealerRater and the 2026 Consumer Satisfaction Award from Cars.com. On Google we sit at 4.6 from over a thousand reviews. Both are worth a look, though what people wrote about the finance office and the service department is more useful than either number.

How far is Currie Motors Buick GMC from Portage?
About nine miles, or fifteen to twenty minutes. Route 49 south from I-94 or US-20 runs directly to US-30, and we are on the north side at 1551 West. From the south side of Portage, Willowcreek or Route 149 south to US-30 takes about the same time and misses the Route 49 lights. From Burns Harbor, Route 149 south then west.
Can I get service if I work shifts at the mills?
That is what the Saturday hours are for. Our service department is open Saturdays and handles a lot of common work same day, and sales runs until 9 PM Monday through Friday. If the vehicle needs to stay overnight, ask about a loaner when you book rather than on the day, since availability varies. See Saturday service or call (219) 246-4505.
Do you finance bad credit for Portage buyers?
Yes. We submit applications to more than thirty banks and lenders, a number of which specialize in credit challenges rather than treating them as an exception. That covers past repossession, discharged bankruptcy, collections, thin files and first-time buyers with no history at all. Down payment requirements vary genuinely: some applications approve with nothing down, others need around $500 or more. See our credit financing page or call (219) 246-4505.
Where can I buy a certified used truck near Portage?
Our used inventory is not limited to Buick and GMC, and almost all of it is certified. We take trades from every brand, so used Silverados, F-150s and Rams appear regularly alongside used Sierras, and through CarBravo we can certify most makes rather than only GM vehicles. Browse used inventory or the under $20,000 selection, and call to confirm what is on the ground before driving down.
Do you sell commercial vehicles to Portage businesses?
Yes. GMC Savana cargo, passenger and cutaway, Sierra HD, and Section 179 guidance for businesses deducting a vehicle purchase before year end. That suits the contractors, suppliers and logistics operations working the port, the mills and the I-94 corridor. See Section 179 or ask for the commercial team on (219) 246-4505.
Do you have a body shop?
No. We are a sales, service and parts dealership and do not carry out collision or body repair. For body work, panels, paint or glass, our sister store Currie Motors Ford of Valpo runs a collision center at 2052 W. Morthland Drive, under the same ownership and about half a mile from us. They work on all makes. Call them on (219) 234-2169.
What are your hours?
Monday through Friday 9 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM, closed Sunday. Service and parts hours differ from sales, so call (219) 246-4505 to confirm before driving down from Portage.
