Company Description

The Tom Bush Family of Dealerships has been operating in the automotive business for nearly a century. The late Tom Bush Jr. first arrived in Jacksonville and opened a Volkswagen dealership in 1970. The family group has grown to offer Volkswagen, Mazda, BMW, MINI, pre-owned vehicles and a certified collision center now under the leadership of Tom's son, John Bush. Vice Presidents Megan and Brian represent the fourth generation of Bush family members in the business.

They have been voted the 'Best Car Dealership in Jax' by Bold City Best, one of the 'Best Places to Work' by the Jacksonville Business Journal and one of the 'Healthiest Companies' by the First Coast Worksite Wellness Council.

Whether a customer purchased a car from Tom Bush, Sr. in 1918, or is purchasing a car today from one of the Tom Bush dealerships, the buyer becomes part of the family. We treat our employees how we expect them to treat our customers, with honor and integrity. As Mr. B repeatedly said, "the most important part of business is people. Treat everyone with respect, be a man of your word, ask yourself if the business transaction is fair to everyone involved, and nurture long-term relationships. Think of your employees as family members as they are the life-blood of a dealership."
