Currently, our dealership is open for business at all of our locations in Bartow, Lakeland, Winter Haven, Auburndale, and Chiefland. We are taking the necessary precautions, and are confident that each of our Polk County and Chiefland locations are a safe environment because of this.

  • All employees have been coached on the correct CDC guidelines for hand washing and sanitizing their stations, and will be required to follow those guidelines
  • After each service, service technicians will fully wipe down your vehicle
  • We are using Permasafe Protective Coatings to disinfect loaner vehicles between usages
  • We will avoid unnecessary contact like handshakes by using other forms of greeting and following social distancing guidelines
  • We will enforce procedures that encourage staff to stay home if they are feeling unwell or have been in contact with someone who is feeling unwell
  • Staff will be kept up-to-date with any COVID-19 updates to ensure we're doing our part to minimize its impact
  • We are offering a mobile service unit to come to your home for recall work, battery replacement, or other work that does not require a lift
  • We are offering a "No Contact Purchase Program" to allow our Central Florida and Chiefland customers access to our home delivery option, which includes virtual test drives, a secure online credit application, and free home delivery (this option has and continues to be available in all other parts of Florida)
