Barnes Wheaton Autogroup Information

Our Story: Welcome to The Barnes Wheaton Auto Group. Many times people ask who is “Barnes” or how did the Barnes family get involved in the automotive and powersports business? Let us share with you our journey to where we are today. The Barnes family has been in the automotive business in Western Canada for the last 32 years starting with Greg Barnes purchasing a General Motors dealership in Camrose, Alberta. In 1988 the family moved to Prince George where a larger GM dealership became available for purchase. In 1992 the opportunity came to purchase Pacific GMC in Coquitlam so once again up we moved to the lower mainland where we have remained ever since. Since 1992 we have expanded by purchasing the Ed Klassen Pontiac dealership in Surrey, the Don Carr Chevrolet dealership in White Rock, Barnes Nissan Vernon (since sold) and in 2003, Southside Harley Davidson in Langley, which we then branded Barnes Harley-Davidson. Today the Barnes Wheaton Autogroup is truly known as a family organization with Brian Barnes the eldest son of the Barnes Family serving as the General Manager of Barnes Harley-Davidson. Prior to being General Manager of Barnes Harley Davidson Brian served as General Manager of Barnes Nissan in Vernon. Greg Barnes continues as President and Dealer Principal, while Ingrid Barnes, wife of Greg Barnes, managed marketing for the Harley-Davidson store and HOG activities but has since retired (2012). Ashley Barnes sister of Brian Barnes was formerly Motor Clothes manager at Barnes Harley-Davidson but is now a business manager at the Barnes Wheaton GM North Surrey store.
