Our difference is our people. Each of our 1200 employees are committed to levels of sincerity, hospitality and enthusiasm that you will not find at a traditional dealership. By developing a level of trust with you in a friendly and comfortable environment, we hope to continue to earn your business for years to come. We will continue to look for innovative ways to enhance your car-buying and service experience.
In 1965, Sheehy Ford began as a small, suburban, family-owned car dealership just off the brand new Washington , D.C. Beltway. Because of you, the customer, we were immediately successful, and by 1975 had become the largest Ford dealership in the country.
Today, the company is still primarily family-owned and has grown to more than $900 Million in Sales with 30,000 vehicle sales per year. Our corporate name is Sheehy Auto Stores with stores located from Richmond , VA up to Baltimore , MD. Sheehy has 17 locations in the Mid-Atlantic region with 20 franchises. We are the largest retailer of Fords in the region and have the largest selection of new Fords. We sell 50% of all the Fords sold in the Richmond metro. We are one of the largest Nissan dealers in the Mid-Atlantic with 4 locations including Springfield. Of course, the most convenient location is at www.sheehy.com, the most user-friendly web site on the internet.
In addition to our exceptional employees, our success has been driven by our customers' response to our unique and innovative selling approach. In the 1970's we launched the 3-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE, a first-ever in the market. In 1991, we began the now-famous SHEEHY MARKDOWN to ensure that no customer ever pays too much for a vehicle at any of our stores. Every new car and truck is value-priced below the manufacturer's list price with a Sheehy Markdown sticker prominently displayed on the windshield.
The same philosophy carries over to our Sheehy Pre Owned cars and trucks, where every vehicle is priced below Kelley Blue Book. Other elements of the Select package include the 3-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE and a 100-POINT INSPECTION. Only one-third of the cars we trade pass a rigorous inspection for resale.
Our value pricing also extends to our Service and Parts departments. They are dedicated to providing you with competitive pricing in a friendly, convenient setting. At many of our locations, we have an Express service lane like here in Springfield to provide faster servicing of your vehicle.
Our customer-centric approach has earned our stores some of the most prized awards in the industry. All of our Ford stores are Blue Oval Certified.
