Sheehy Auto Stores Dealerships help their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic

Family-owned Sheehy Auto Stores has proudly put its commitment to the communities it serves on full display over the life of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a two-month period beginning in April, the dealer group along with its 29 dealerships throughout Washington D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis, Hagerstown, Maryland and Richmond, Virginia offered 50% off all vehicle and maintenance services for any make or model vehicle to active healthcare workers.

"We are committed to support our communities and salute those who risk their lives every day to save lives and battle this virus," said Vince Sheehy, President of Sheehy Auto Stores. "Each of our dealerships were challenged to develop their own community outreach programs to best serve their unique regions."

Individually, the dealerships also took actions aimed at making their appreciation of frontline and essential workers obvious by offering everything from free disinfecting of vehicles, discount on car rentals, donations of money, food, transportation and time to hospitals, food banks, essential frontline workers and school systems, donations of masks and auto sanitizing services to essential workers at area grocery stores and donations of iPads, hotspots and meals to students in need.

The 37th largest dealer group in the country, Sheehy Auto Stores serves customers spread across the Mid-Atlantic. The family-owned dealership began as a single Ford store in 1996 in Marlow Heights, Maryland.

Since, then, the company has skyrocketed to more than $1.6 billion in sales with more than 45,000 new and used vehicles sold each year. Along the way, the company has earned a reputation and become recognized as a leader in customer satisfaction, retention and community involvement.
