Richard
DeVoe began his automotive career in Muncie, Indiana with his brothers
at an Edsel dealership. He acquired a Chevrolet dealership in
Martinsville, Indiana in 1960 which he owned until
1967.
In
1963, Mr. DeVoe relocated his family to Naples, Florida and in 1968 had
the opportunity to open Dick DeVoe Buick Cadillac. The business grew
over the years and in 1990 the Buick and the Cadillac stores split to
create separate locations. Cadillac remains at
our original location, 4100 Tamiami Trail, and Buick moved to 1411
Solana Road, where it operated as a single point dealership for 12
years.
In
1991, the DeVoe Automotive Group purchased the Pontiac-GMC dealership
located on Airport Road. This dealership facility was completely
rebuilt over a 16 month period from 2000-2001. In the fall of
2002,
Buick merged with Pontiac-GMC to become DeVoe Pontiac-Buick-GMC
of Naples. This complex, with over 1,000 feet of footage on Airport
Road just south of the Naples Airport and next to the County
Courthouse, includes the Mega Center South, our premium used car
operation.
In March of 1997,
the DeVoe family purchased the Volvo and
Infiniti
franchises, and relocated to a new site in Bonita Springs.
Both
dealerships serve the Collier and Lee county markets. Our 14 acre
facility also contains DeVoe Pontiac-Buick-GMC of Bonita
Springs,
which opened and began full operations in 1998. By the fall of 2000,
DeVoe Mega Center North became the premium used car center for the
entire complex.
Today at the
Northwest corner of Goodlette-Frank and Solana Roads you'll find the
Saab, Isuzu and
Subaru of Naples and the DeVoe Collision Center, on the
Southwest corner stands our brand new state of the art Suzuki
showroom with the DeVoe Mega-Central Pre-owned lot. The DeVoe
Family
acquired the Suzuki franchise in February of 2006, and Subaru of Naples
in early 2007 and were happy to offer such strong selling international
brands to the growing Naples community. In addition to
servicing Saab
at our Naples location, for those who live in Bonita Springs or Ft.
Myers, DeVoe offers Saab service at our Bonita Springs
facility.
In early 2002,
General Motors awarded the DeVoe Family with the Hummerfranchise to
serve the Southwest Florida market, including Collier,
Lee, Charlotte and Desoto Counties. In 2005 the state of the art Hummer
Showroom and Service department opened, completing the Bonita Springs
facilities.
