Mission To develop the people, the product and the process, to ensure a happy family of employees and customers
Description In 1962 Davidson Chevrolet in Rome NY, opened its doors and laid the foundation for what was to ultimately become one of the leading automotive sales and service groups in central and northern New York State.
1984 saw the opening of “D” Chevrolet in Watertown, NY and in recent years, Davidson operations in Watertown have experienced exponential growth. With the opening of Davidson Buick-Pontiac-GMC in 1995 and the acquisition of the area’s Oldsmobile and Cadillac franchises in 1998, the Davidson group had established itself as a well known leader, servicing central and northern New York. Around this time was the construction of the brand-new state of the art facility for the Buick, Pontiac-GMC franchises, which being next door to the Davidson’s Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Cadillac store, transformed the space into the Davidson Regional GM Supercenter. The super center became the number one volume GM dealership in the Canada to Pennsylvania corridor.
Davidson’s continued to add to their growing number of franchises by opening Davidson Nissan in 2000. The store has since seen its volume triple as Nissan continues to add new and exciting products.
In 2007, a focus to provide top-quality used cars was highlighted by a new stand-alone Davidson Pre-Owned Auto Center location, serving our military just outside the North Gate of Fort Drum. Then in 2009 Davidson Ford was added to line up. With top selling trucks like the Escape and the F-series pickups and a loyal consumer base, Davidson Ford is poised to become one of the largest Ford Dealers in the region. As Davidson’s customer base continued to grow, the family decided to build all new state-of-the-art buildings to house their GM and Ford franchises. The new buildings have several “green” features including solar panels, the goal being to reduce the carbon footprint on the environment. The facilities also provide more space to house a larger selection of vehicles to better serve their customers.
The newest addition to the Davidson brand is the acquisition of the Ford franchise in Fulton, New York. In 2016 Davidson built another new state-of-the-art Ford Dealership, Precision Car Wash and Collision Center in Clay. This store will allow the Davidson brand expand into a new market and is the second Ford franchise and third collision center in the Davidson line-up.
In 2022 Davidson Auto Group celebrated its 60th anniversary and plans to see continued growth in the future. The family owned business has prided itself on constantly expanding while never sacrificing customer service. Currently the network of Davidson dealerships delivers over 5,000 cars a year and employs over 285 people.
