About Us

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

The Germain organization has grown significantly since that time and now is comprised of the Germain Automotive Partnership. Owned by Rick Germain and his sons Paul and John, this family of third- and fourth-generation dealers is committed to caring for people, customers, associates, and the community.

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

The Germain mission has always been to spread joy through our diverse selection of reliable vehicles. We want to forge a long-lasting relationship with our customers and assist them throughout their driving journey, whether that be through service or sales.

Our goal is to foster a vibrant and inviting atmosphere where our patrons become excited supporters, our team members thrive, our business upholds unwavering ethics, and we spread positivity in our neighborhoods. Our core values are one of the main ways we aim to achieve that vision.

So, are you ready to find your favorite Volkswagen model? We offer a large selection of new and certified pre-owned VW vehicles for customers like you to explore. You can get started in person or on our website. We carry this brand’s most popular models, from the VW ID.4 electric vehicle to the VW Jetta and the VW Tiguan.

Our sales team is happy to assist you in your car search and provide a recommendation, if necessary. Whether you’re looking for a commuter car or a family SUV, we have options for you. Schedule a test drive of your favorite model to try it out.

While we love to meet all our car shoppers, your unconventional hours or busy schedule may not mesh with when we’re open. That’s why we display all our available and incoming cars on our website. You can locate the ideal model you want or find one that you never expected.

Plug in the make and model or your desired features into the search bar or select it from the menu. Then see your screen populated with only the cars that meet your criteria. From that point, you can scroll through your choices or refine your search with the help of the filters. The filters can help you figure out which VW models fit your lifestyle and preferences.

We’ve mentioned that we carry certified pre-owned (CPO) Volkswagen vehicles, but you may not know what this means. CPO vehicles go through a vetting process before they’re able to gain this important designation. For example, a service technician must administer a 100-point inspection for it to become a CPO model.

Once the car passes the test, it receives the seal of approval and can be purchased. As the new owner, you’re rewarded with bonuses such a vehicle history report, warranty coverage, and 24-hour roadside assistance. This sweetens the deal and gives you confidence in the car.

Easing you into the car-buying or –leasing experience remains one of our goals. So, we developed a few different ways to gain some transparency about our cars as you shop.

To get the process started, you can fill out the online finance application, which goes to our team for their review. Once you’ve been approved, they can discuss your options with you.

Find out the estimated monthly payment by using the complimentary payment calculator. This tool can be used multiple times and helps you to figure out what you will be paying each month. This can help you decide between a few different cars or devise a budget.

Want to trade in your current car for a new one? Get started online by going to the Value Your Trade tab. On this page, you’ll see the Instant Offer page. You fill in the applicable information about your car, and you’ll discover how much your car is worth on the open market. This estimate can be converted into an offer that can be redeemed at our dealership.

We also offer our Express Purchase Program to make your experience seamless. You can take a virtual walkaround to see your favorite ride from the comfort of your couch, then schedule at-home delivery to take the keys without crossing your property line. In between, you can arrange your financing and trade in your car.
