Greenville Celebrates 25 Years of Excellence with Steve White Auto Group’s New Volvo Dealership!
Exciting news is rolling into Greenville, South Carolina! The esteemed Steve White Auto Group is marking its 25th anniversary in style by expanding its family of dealerships. The latest addition is a sparkling new Volvo dealership that promises to elevate the quality of customer service in the region!
A Legacy Built on Family Values
The roots of this dealership run deep, thanks to founder Steve White, who first opened doors to the Volkswagen and Audi franchises back in 1999. Now, with the entry of Marc White, the son who joined the family business in 2002, the dealership has blossomed into a robust operation with three exciting brands—Volkswagen, Audi, and now, Volvo!
Marc, as the Dealer Principal and the proud owner of the Volkswagen, Audi, and Volvo franchises, is commandeering this growth with a focus on transparency and customer satisfaction. The dealership encourages customers to meet with him directly, making the whole experience more personable.
Expanding Horizons with Volvo
The newly acquired Volvo dealership is located conveniently on Laurens Road, just a stone’s throw from the existing operation on Duvall Drive. Though a more permanent facility won’t be constructed until 2027, a temporary sales and service center is already in place to cater to Volvo enthusiasts in the area, and it’s exciting to think about what’s to come!
With around 600 vehicles available, customers will find a delightful range of options from budget-friendly used cars starting at $2,000 all the way up to luxurious models priced at $200,000! This variety of choices turns shopping for cars into an enjoyable outing rather than a daunting task.
Community Commitment and Safety First
What’s truly heartwarming is the dealership’s commitment to community welfare. They have been actively involved in local initiatives, such as their recent donation to the Foster and Adopt Closet, demonstrating that they care not just about cars, but also about the lives of the people in Greenville.
When it comes to Volvo, they’re particularly proud of the brand’s stellar reputation for safety. After all, who can forget the innovation of the three-point seat belt that Volvo pioneered? Marc White is ecstatic to share in that legacy, ensuring that employees and customers alike prioritize safety as a key feature of their car-buying experience.
Growing the Family
With the opening of the Volvo dealership, there’s also a growth in job opportunities. The dealership is eager to hire 20 new staff members, spanning various roles from sales to technicians and management. Plus, every employee from the previous Volvo location will be retained, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining a familiar face for customers.
Steve White Auto Group is dedicated to fostering a caring workplace environment. Among its initiatives is a Caring Team, focused on the wellbeing of employees. This approach reflects Marc White’s broader desire to create a proud culture that emphasizes professionalism and quality service.
Navigating Challenges Together
Marc’s leadership and resilience have helped the dealership weather past economic storms, including the challenging times during the 2000s recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Remarkably, through it all, there have been no layoffs, demonstrating a strong commitment to employees and a people-first philosophy.
The goal for Marc and the entire Steve White Auto Group is simple: they want every single visitor to leave satisfied, regardless of whether a purchase is made. It’s all about creating a delightful experience and tackling the often-criticized car sales culture, aiming instead for a reputation of integrity and trust.
Looking Ahead
As Steve White Auto Group celebrates its milestone and gears up for new adventures, Greenville can rest easy knowing that there’s a dedicated dealership on its side, ready to serve with pride, integrity, and, of course, great cars!
