Towne has been a WNY family-owned automotive establishment since 1969. Our first dealership, Towne Lincoln-Mercury, was started by Frank Downing in June 1969 in a small strip plaza in Orchard Park. Over the years we have had the opportunity to expand our franchise portfolio to eight franchises including Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, Buick, Mazda and Hyundai. We also added a Quick Lane Service Department for no appointment service needs.
The Tom Bush Family of Dealerships has been operating in the automotive business for nearly a century. The late Tom Bush Jr. first arrived in Jacksonville and opened a Volkswagen dealership in 1970. The family group has grown to offer Volkswagen, Mazda, BMW, MINI, pre-owned vehicles and a certified collision center now under the leadership of Tom's son, John Bush. John's children, the fourth generation of family members, have also joined the business. Brian Bush is VP of eCommerce and Megan Bush Del Pizzo is VP of Business Development. They have been voted one of the 'Best Places to Buy A Car' the last five years by Bold City Best and one of the 'Best Places to Work' the last four years by our employees in the Jacksonville Business Journal's annual survey.
