About Us

In 1947 Warren Germain, a retired accountant for Henry Ford, opened the first Germain dealership, a Lincoln franchise located in Columbus, OH.

The Germain organization has grown significantly since that time, and now is comprised of the Germain Automotive Partnership which represents Lexus, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Volkswagen, Lincoln. Owned by Rick Germain and his sons Paul and John, this family of third and fourth generation dealers are committed to taking care of people; customers, associates and community alike.

In a time when the automotive business is changing rapidly, the Germain team recognizes the need to be at the forefront of that innovation and uses their mission, vision and values to foster a culture that associates and customers both can enjoy.
