“The plan was to grow in Metro Detroit after we entered last December, we just didn’t know how quickly it would happen. The three new locations are a natural fit, given the location of our current Fox Motors dealerships. We are excited to bring on Cadillac, a long-standing American brand, and to expand our Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM footprint in Michigan,” said Daniel G. DeVos, Fox Motors Chairman & CEO. “My family has known the Garff family for years. It has been a pleasure to work with their team these last few months. Both the Fox family and Garff family have built a legacy by putting people first. The employees and community will continue to receive the same remarkable customer service and care they are accustomed to.”
“We’re grateful that we were able to operate in Detroit for the last eight years. These are great dealerships that serve their communities well and we’re confident Fox Motors will continue to operate them in the best way possible,” said Brett Hopkins, CEO, Ken Garff Automotive. Fox Motors plans to introduce its signature programs at these new dealerships: Fox CARES, Fox Cash Offer, Buy Your Way, and Service Your Way. Fox CARES brings our vision and mission to life by focusing on ways the Fox Family can give back to our customers, community, and employees as a team.
Fox Cash Offer provides customers with a free vehicle appraisal and the option to sell without purchasing.
