COMPANY HISTORY

In 1947, Warren Germain, a retired accountant for Henry Ford, opened a Lincoln franchise in Columbus, Ohio. Warren's son, Bob Germain Sr., worked with his father at the Lincoln store and began growing the business. Bob's sons became the third generation to work in the family business, and together grew the Germain Motor Company to include 16 locations in several markets. After Bob Sr.'s passing, his sons decided to operate their stores independently.

In 2011, Rick Germain formed the Germain Automotive Partnership with his sons Paul and John, which includes Germain Lexus of Dublin, Germain Lexus of Easton, Germain Nissan of Columbus, Germain Ford of Columbus, Germain Mazda of Columbus, and Germain Toyota of Naples.

EXTENSIVE NEW AND USED VEHICLE INVENTORY
Our commitment to excellent service means that we need to have many different vehicles to fit your needs. Each of our dealerships offers an extensive inventory of new and used vehicles, so you'll have plenty of options regardless of where you go.

We encourage you to visit our showrooms, where our dedicated sales teams will be waiting to walk you through them and help you find your dream set of wheels. Let them know about your needs, and they'll pair you with a sedan, SUV, or truck that you can get the most out of.

You can look through our new and used inventories online. Use the filters to show information pertinent to your search, including color, MPG, features, drivetrain, and more. All used cars will come with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, which will provide a detailed overview of a vehicle's ownership history, maintenance history, and more.

Leasing and Financing Solutions for All Drivers
Are you ready to develop a lease or finance plan for your new-to-you vehicle? Every Germain dealership offers a state-of-the-art finance center with a team of experts who have a wealth of experience creating custom solutions for you. Sit down with them and let them know what you need in your deal, and they'll walk you through your lease and finance options.

Regardless of which route you go, you'll need to apply for credit, which you can do in person or online. From there, the finance staff will incorporate your needs into your unique program and review it with you in a way that's easy to understand.

On top of our secure finance application, we also have a Value Your Trade tool that'll provide an estimate for your current car and a payment calculator that'll help you forecast your monthly payment based on your preferred down payment, credit score, length of lease or finance plan, and more.

Maintenance, Parts, and Collision Centers
Germain wants to help you prepare for the long road ahead by offering comprehensive maintenance and repair services. Our service centers are equipped with multiple service bays, the latest diagnostic equipment, and a caring, knowledgeable team of mechanics who can confidently cover every crevice of your vehicle.

Depending on the car we're working on, we can use genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts designed to fit seamlessly and last longer than aftermarket parts. So, you'll feel at ease knowing the right oils will be used for oil changes, the right brake components will be used for all brake services, and more.

Are you the do-it-yourself type? We have on-site parts centers with the same parts and accessories our technicians use. Stop by to talk to our parts specialists about your project, and they'll help you find what you need. Can't make it in? Order the parts you need online.

It's no secret that being involved in a collision can be a difficult process. The Germain collision center aims to take some of that stress off your plate by working to restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. We'll provide you with an estimate and work with your insurance company, so all you'll need to do is get your car here!
