Our History
Atlantic Automotive embarked on its mission in 1997 to build a regionally consolidated retail automotive network that could meet the transportation needs of consumers and establish lifetime relationships with its customers. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest automotive groups in the mid-Atlantic region. Atlantic Automotive focused on an acquisition strategy to build upon its original investment model. The dramatic growth of the company since 1997 demonstrates our success in implementing our strategy. While the growth of the company will continue to evolve based upon our ability to evaluate and identify strategic acquisitions that complement the MileOne branding model, renewed efforts in facilities improvement are necessary to satisfy the needs of our customers and to maximize the growth opportunities in service operations for the company as a whole.
During this period of continuing acquisition, Atlantic Automotive began to grow from within, building new dealerships and remodeling or relocating various franchises to newer, more efficient facilities. While these initial improvements have helped position the company well for serving the current and future automotive needs of these customers, other facilities must be renovated and modernized to maximize their potential.
A comprehensive reconfiguration of the Herb Gordon and Tischer properties, which currently support nine automobile franchises, a used vehicle operation and a collision center, is being planned. The Herb Gordon/ Tischer projects will be completed over the next three years. These renovations will provide significant increases to the fixed operations service capacity and resulting business for these dealerships. The company recently completed the construction of a stand alone Mercedes-Benz service operations building and has renovated the Annapolis Mercedes-Benz sales facility. In addition, several facility modifications are planned for the MotorWorld campus during the upcoming year.
