In 1947 Warren Germain opened the first Germain dealership in Bexley, Ohio. As the years progressed, the number of dealerships continued to grow under the leadership of Warren’s son Bob Germain Sr. including dealerships in Columbus, Ohio; Naples, Florida and in Sarasota, Florida. In 1995 Steve Germain, son of Bob Germain Sr., was named President and CEO of the company. Today, the business is comprised of 16 stores in 5 markets across Ohio, Florida and Michigan, operating under the mantra of The Right Car. The Right Price. The Right Way.
