David Maus Automotive Group will break ground this month on a new dealership — its fifth in Central Florida and its first brand with General Motors Co.
The dealership and its financing partner, Kansas City, Mo.-based Van Tuyl Automotive Investment Group, will open David Maus Chevrolet in Sanford this fall on a 12-acre site it already owns next to the existing David Maus Toyota dealership. Maus and Van Tuyl bought about 40 acres there in 2006 for $20 million, Seminole County records showed.
This new dealership will create about 125 new jobs ranging from receptionists and cashiers to technicians and accountants.
The $5 million, 60,250-square-foot building will include a showroom and service center with 36 service bays on 12 acres on Rinehart Road, said Greg McClellan, general manager at David Maus Chevrolet. In September, Detroit-based GM gave David Maus Automotive Group the franchise that formerly belonged to Bill Heard Chevrolet, which closed in late 2008 after its Columbus, Ga.-based parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
