Model 1 Opens New Elgin Commercial Vehicle Center to Serve Chicagoland Fleets

Model 1 Commercial Vehicles announced today the soft opening of Model 1 Elgin earlier this month, a new commercial vehicle center designed to support customers across Elgin and the greater Chicagoland region. The location provides commercial vehicle sales, service, parts, and upfitting, helping fleet customers keep vehicles on the road and ready for work.

Model 1 Elgin expands the company’s ability to serve a wide range of fleet and commercial customers with a one-stop destination for vehicle solutions—from acquisition and customization to maintenance and long-term support. A ribbon-cutting event is planned for Spring 2026, with additional details to be announced.

“Model 1 Elgin helps fleets stay productive at every stage—from selling purpose-built commercial vehicles to delivering the service, parts, and upfitting solutions that keep them on the road,” said Tim Andrews, Service Manager, Model 1 Elgin. “Our goal is to be a single, reliable partner for fleet customers.”

With the opening of Model 1 Elgin, customers can access:

• Commercial vehicle sales to support growing fleet needs
• Service support to help reduce downtime and extend vehicle life
• Parts availability for faster repairs and maintenance
• Upfitting capabilities to match vehicles to job requirements
