The New River Auto Mall has Acquired Jaguar Columbia and Land Rover Columbia

Feb. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- The New River Auto Mall is extending into the midlands of South Carolina with the purchase of two dealerships in Columbia. The Jaguar and Land Rover dealerships, which were purchased in January 2014, are currently housed at two different locations, but will be combined at the Land Rover facility, which is located at 540 Jamil Road in Columbia.

"We're thrilled to be expanding into the midlands and the Capitol of the great state of South Carolina," said Warner Peacock, President & CEO of New River Auto Mall, LLC. "We're looking forward to getting involved in the community here and continuing the tradition we’ve established in the Hilton Head area of supporting charity events."

The Jaguar Columbia (http://www.jaguarcolumbia.com/) dealership has 25 employees, while Land Rover Columbia (http://www.landrovercolumbia.com/) employs 15. This brings the total number of New River Auto Mall, LLC employees to roughly 400.

It’s a natural move for New River Auto Mall, LLC, as they already operate a Jaguar Land Rover dealership at the New River Auto Mall, in the Hilton Head area of South Carolina. The addition of these two dealerships in the midlands of South Carolina will help to greatly expand their dealership footprint.

"We're looking forward to meeting all of the Jaguar and Land Rover owners in Columbia and the surrounding areas, and establishing new customers, as well," said Lucan Breedlove, Executive General Manager of Jaguar Columbia and Land Rover Columbia. "I've worked with both brands for the past few years, and I'm excited about sharing my love of these cars with the Columbia market."

As most people know, Jaguar and Land Rover are part of a joint venture, Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC. The company is based in the United Kingdom. Jaguar is chiefly known for manufacturing luxurious and precision-made sports cars, while Land Rover produces high-end SUVs with world-class all-terrain capabilities. Both brands are recognized for creating vehicles that display meticulous craftsmanship and deliver superior performance.

The acquisition of these two dealerships by New River Auto Mall, LLC will allow customers in Columbia and surrounding areas to enjoy the same stellar customer service that New River Auto Mall, LLC is known for throughout the coastal Georgia and Lowcountry area. This acquisition by New River Auto Mall, LLC will also benefit local charities as a result of Jaguar Land Rover Columbia’s support.

New River Auto Mall, LLC owns 9 dealerships featuring 15 franchises, including Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Ram, Subaru, and Volkswagen. In addition to vehicle sales, the New River Auto Mall features a state-of-the-art Vehicle Remanufacturing Center that provides car and truck collision repair and paint for all brands including aluminum body vehicles. New River Auto Mall, LLC is also in a joint venture Allstate Insurance Agency that has become an industry leader in only a few short months. The New River Auto Mall Insurance Agency has also opened offices at Jaguar Columbia and Land Rover Columbia. The New River Auto Mall is located on Highway 278, 5 miles east of I-95 at exit 8.
