🚗 Celebrating Nearly Six Decades of Service 🚗

Grooms Motors has been a part of our community’s automotive history since 1968. What began as a family-owned automotive service business operated by the Grooms family continued for over 30 years before the property was leased to a trusted friend from 1998 through 2013.

In February 2014, Rob and Gina Riley proudly took over the business with a commitment to honoring its legacy while investing in its future. Today, we continue to build on the foundation of honesty, quality workmanship, education, safety, and preventive vehicle care that has kept this business serving generations of families.

Longevity in business doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from earning trust, adapting to changing technology, investing in people, and consistently doing what’s right for customers year after year.

For nearly 60 years, this location has helped keep our community safely on the road, and we are honored to carry that tradition forward every day.

Thank you to our team, clients, and community for being part of the Grooms Motors story. Here’s to many more years ahead! ❤️🔧

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

As Memorial Day approaches, we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Their courage and selflessness are the reason we have the freedoms we enjoy today. This day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and remembrance.

In observance of Memorial Day, Grooms Motors will be closed (Monday May 25) so our team can spend time with family and reflect on the true meaning of this important day.

We will resume at 8:30 on Tuesday May 26th.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
