A Family Owned Chevrolet Dealership Serving Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry

Welcome to Ravenel Chevrolet, a family owned and operated Chevrolet dealership serving Ravenel, Charleston, West Ashley, Johns Island, James Island, Hollywood, Meggett, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, and communities throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry.

At Ravenel Chevrolet, automobiles may be our business, but people are our priority. That philosophy has guided the Mason family in the automotive business for decades and continues under the leadership of Mark Anthony Mason, known as Mark Mason Sr., and his son, Mark Andrew Mason, known as Mark Mason Jr.

Together, Mark Sr. and Mark Jr. have built Mason Automotive Group around a straightforward principle: take care of employees, take care of customers, and invest in the community. They look forward to bringing that philosophy to Ravenel Chevrolet and the greater Charleston market.

The Mason Family Automotive Story

The Mason family’s automotive roots date to 1979, when Mark Mason Sr. began his career in the automobile business. After decades of experience in automotive retail, he became a dealership owner in 2008. His leadership philosophy focuses on the people behind the business, not simply the number of vehicles sold.

What began with a single dealership has grown into Mason Automotive Group, a family owned, multi franchise automotive organization based in South Carolina and North Carolina. The group represents Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Volkswagen franchises. Mason Automotive Group has won many prestigious awards including Toyota President’s Award, being named a Southeast Toyota Elite Dealer, winning Ford President’s Award, and recognized as a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Circle of Excellence dealer.

At Lugoff Toyota, Mark Sr. has described the dealership business as a people business, emphasizing investment in employees, customers, families, and the surrounding community. The dealership has supported efforts to fight human trafficking, United Way initiatives, children’s Christmas programs, local missions, law enforcement, and community events. Mark Sr. has also emphasized a workplace culture in which employees can put faith, family, and health first while receiving training and opportunities to build meaningful careers. He believes that when a dealership takes care of employees, those employees can better care for customers. That philosophy helped shape the next generation of the Mason family business.

Mark Mason Jr. joined the family automotive business after graduating from the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 2006. When his father’s investment group acquired a financially struggling Lugoff Ford dealership during the Great Recession in September 2008, Mark Jr. began as Inventory Manager. He was promoted to General Manager in 2010 while attending the NADA Dealer Academy. He introduced strategies to improve efficiency, customer satisfaction, digital marketing, and dealership performance. An aggressive approach to internet marketing attracted customers from Charleston, Columbia, Augusta, and Savannah.

Mark Jr. also introduced a customer service policy known as the Three R’s: Repair it, Refund it, or Replace it. The turnaround produced substantial results: new vehicle sales doubled, used vehicle sales tripled, and profitability increased by more than 130 percent. In 2012, at age 29, he was named an Automotive News 40 Under 40 honoree. Mark Jr. has also served the broader automobile industry on the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Automobile Dealers Association. Through the group’s growth, the Mason family has remained focused on creating good places to work, treating customers well, and giving back to the communities that support its dealerships.

Ravenel Chevrolet is the next chapter in the Mason family’s automotive story and an opportunity to serve the Charleston and Lowcountry market. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with drivers, families, and businesses throughout the region.

A Charleston Area Chevrolet Dealer Focused on Customers

Charleston is one of South Carolina’s most distinctive communities. A dealership serving the Lowcountry should understand the people who live and work here: contractors looking for a Silverado work truck, families needing the space of a Tahoe or Suburban, and commuters considering a Trax or Equinox.

Our Ravenel location positions us to serve customers across Charleston County and the surrounding Lowcountry. We invite drivers from Charleston, West Ashley, Johns Island, James Island, Hollywood, Meggett, Summerville, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, and beyond to get to know our family owned dealership.

It Is All About People

One lesson has passed from Mark Mason Sr. to Mark Mason Jr. throughout the growth of Mason Automotive Group: automotive retail is a people business. The family’s dealerships have emphasized employee development, training, charitable involvement, and community investment.

Mark Jr. continues that approach with a focus on people, customer service, and sustainable growth. We want employees to build careers here, customers to enjoy doing business here, and Ravenel Chevrolet to be an active member of the Charleston and Lowcountry community for generations to come.
