The Central Story

A Legacy Built on Family, Service, and You

Welcome to the first entry on the Central Dealership blog! We’re excited to share our story, our values, and our ongoing commitment to serving the community.

Central Chevrolet is more than just a car dealership; it’s a family legacy that spans three generations. It all began with my grandfather, who moved from Buffalo, New York, to take the helm as General Manager in the early 1960’s. His dedication and passion for the industry led him to eventually purchase of the dealership, laying the foundation for what it is today.

My father followed in his footsteps, starting his journey at Central over 42 years ago. All these years later, Todd continues to lead the company with the same dedication and enthusiasm as his father. In August of this year, I had the privilege of joining the team, carrying the torch and upholding the values that have made Central Chevrolet a pillar of the community.

Family Values, Exceptional Service

At Central, we believe in fostering a close-knit family environment that extends not only to our customers but also to our employees. We are incredibly proud of our team, with over 16 individuals boasting 25+ years of service and 35 employees exceeding 15+ years with the company. In a small business of roughly 85 employees, this loyalty and dedication speak volumes about the culture we’ve cultivated.

Our commitment to our employees is mirrored in our commitment to our customers. As Floyd, our founder, once declared on one of his original billboards, “Service is at the heart of our business.” This mantra guides our every interaction, from the moment you walk through our doors to the long-term care we provide for your vehicle.
