Central Valley Automotive defying economic trends With dealership relocations, expansion of services




As automotive dealers nationwide struggle to stay afloat in current economic times, Central Valley Automotive of Modesto is defying that trend with a series of dealership moves and expansion into new products and services. 

"In these challenging times, we are pleased to be able to enhance our commitment to the Valley and our customers by modernizing our dealerships and announcing new purchasing and service opportunities," said John Gardner, president of Central Valley Automotive.

In the automotive business since 1963, Central Valley Automotive's dealerships currently line a long stretch of North McHenry Avenue. Beginning March 1, a series of brand location shifts and facilities upgrades will be underway, with the transformation continuing into May.

First up is moving the Dodge dealership, currently paired with Hyundai vehicles, from 4620 N. McHenry Ave. into the present Chrysler/Jeep dealership location at 4460 N. McHenry Ave. Central Valley has been a Chrysler dealer for 47 years at this site  - which initially also included the Plymouth brand. The move will create an exclusive family-of-brands location featuring Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram trucks.

"The combination of brands will create the largest regional Dodge/Chrysler dealership in all of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced and Tuolumne counties," Gardner said. 

            Concurrent with the relocation of the Dodge dealership, Central Valley Automotive will move its Volkswagen dealership from the existing site at 4460 N. McHenry Ave., to the present Hyundai dealership location at 4620 N. McHenry Ave., next to the Nissan dealership.

The new Volkswagen site features a remodeled and expanded facility with state-of-the-art, high-tech service amenities to better serve customers. The upgrades at this site will continue into May as Central Valley Automotive will renovate the newly established VW/Hyundai dealership's look to a modern, "white-frame" aesthetic. The remodel will make the location one of only two in the state with the innovative style, according to Gardner. 

In addition to a new look and new combination of brands for the location, the VW/Hyundai Certified Pre-owned vehicle program will feature more cars and more purchasing options to meet the needs of today's buyers.

And in a final update, Central Valley Automotive is also rejuvenating its pre-owned vehicle business under the name Central Valley Used SuperCenter. The newly aligned business will expand on and streamline its current pre-owned vehicle inventory.
