The first Ford Model A was introduced to the market in 1903. A little over two decades later, Holman Motorcars opened its first Ford dealership in Merchantville, New Jersey, in 1924. The company was at the forefront of the automotive industry at its beginnings, and a century later, it is a global leader in the luxury car market with more than 6,500 employees. As the family-owned business celebrates its 100th anniversary, it remains dedicated to guiding clients to provide the best experience possible. That ethos is clear in the employees at its St. Louis location at One Arnage Blvd. in Chesterfield.
Holman has come a long way from a single dealership in New Jersey. The company’s success can be credited to its continued dedication to its founding principles, according to chairman Mindy Holman. “It started with one dream, to build a family business, and one vision, to always do the right thing for our people, our customers and our community,” she says. “Since then, we’ve stood by this commitment, and our collective actions have taken a visible place in our lives and our work. We will continue to be guided by the core principles upon which our business was founded: hiring and empowering the best, most talented individuals, providing exceptional customer service and giving back to our communities.”
Holman Motorcars St. Louis opened its doors 20 years ago, and the company’s century of experience ensures it provides clients with a customized, boutique buying experience. The location is an authorized sales and service center for seven brands: Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Lotus, Bugatti and INEOS. “Our store in the Chesterfield Valley has one of the finest luxury service departments in the state of Missouri,” service and parts manager Andrew Wilson says. “It is important our clients have an effortless and hassle-free experience when getting their car serviced at Holman Motorcars. We work tirelessly to streamline operations, ensuring a seamless and efficient customer experience from start to finish.”
Holman Motorcars also offers a plethora of cost-free services, according to sales manager Kevin Rodermund. The team provides expertise in a variety of topics, such as fleet management, upfitting, vehicle equipment, insurance and vehicle sourcing and servicing. The automotive center also has a wide selection of pre-owned vehicles, including rare collectables. It offers custom leases and financing for all purchases to meet the unique needs of each buyer. “It’s important that our clients have a brand ambassador assist them in the buying or leasing process,” Rodermund explains. “Having an experienced sales associate, who knows the explicit details of our automobiles, at the client’s side is of the utmost importance.”
Many of the vehicles that Holman Motorcars offers are dream cars, and the company is dedicated to helping make these purchases a reality for everyone who steps through its door. “We’re a family-owned business, and that’s very important to us,” Rodermund says. “We believe very much in our motto: Driving What’s Right. We help our clients find the right fit for them. We want to earn their loyalty and not only meet expectations but exceed them. When you visit Holman Motorcars St. Louis, your experience will be beyond anything that you imagined.”
