About Us

The Tom Bush Family of Dealerships has been operating in the automotive business for nearly a century. The late Tom Bush Jr. first arrived in Jacksonville and opened a Volkswagen dealership in 1970. The family group has grown to offer Volkswagen, Mazda, BMW, MINI, pre-owned vehicles and a Certified Collision Center now under the leadership of Tom's son, John Bush. John's children, the fourth generation of family members, have recently joined the business. Brian Bush is currently the E-Commerce Manager and Megan Bush Del Pizzo is Business Development Manager. They have been voted the 'Best Car Dealership" in Jacksonville the last three years by the Bold City Best and one of the 'Best Places to Work' in 2016 and 2017 by the Jacksonville Business Journal.
