Sutherlin Automotive Group: Driven by Integrity, Built on Family

Founded in 1972, Sutherlin Automotive Group has grown from a single dealership into one of the most respected and customer-focused automotive groups in the Southeastern United States. With locations across the Southeast United States, we proudly represent some of the most trusted names in the industry — including Lexus, Toyota and Subaru.

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to people over profits. Whether you're shopping for a new car, servicing your vehicle, or exploring financing options, our team is dedicated to providing a transparent, honest, and exceptional experience. Our long-standing reputation is built on the values of integrity, innovation, and personalized care — values that continue to guide everything we do.

From day one, we’ve believed that buying a car should be more than a transaction — it should be the start of a long-term relationship built on trust.
