Why Choose the West Coast Auto Group?
Choosing the West Coast Auto Group (WCAG) means more than just finding a dealership; it means joining a community-focused, family-owned legacy that has been serving the Greater Vancouver area for over seven decades. From its humble beginnings in 1953 as a small Ford dealership with only five employees, the group has grown into one of the most respected automotive names in British Columbia. Today, under the leadership of the Jones family, the West Coast Auto Group encompasses six major brand locations in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, offering a "complete ecosystem" of automotive services.
The Power of Choice
One of the primary reasons customers flock to the West Coast Auto Group is the "Power of Choice." With five distinct dealerships, West Coast Ford, West Coast Toyota, West Coast Nissan, West Coast Kia, and West Coast Mazda, customers have access to a massive combined inventory of over 700 new and pre-owned vehicles. Whether you are looking for a fuel-efficient commuter, a rugged truck, or a luxury SUV, you don’t have to drive from city to city to compare brands. Everything you need is conveniently located within the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge area, supported by a team of factory-trained technicians for every specific brand.
Rewarding Loyalty: The Advantage Card
A standout feature of the West Coast Auto Group experience is the Loyalty Rewards Program. Unlike traditional points systems that can be difficult to redeem, the WCAG Customer Advantage Card works like cash. Members earn 5% back on every pre-tax dollar spent on parts, service, and rentals. Furthermore, you can earn an additional 5% toward the purchase of your next vehicle just by maintaining your current one. This program is family-friendly and transferable, meaning your rewards can benefit your loved ones too. It is a tangible way the group shows appreciation for long-term customer relationships.
Specialized Financial & Maintenance Services
The group goes beyond just sales through specialized subsidiaries like West-Can Leasing and West Coast Credit Acceptance. West-Can Leasing offers flexible, wholesale lease terms tailored to individual budgets, while Credit Acceptance helps drivers across all credit tiers (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) secure reliable transportation.
Maintenance is equally comprehensive. WCAG operates a state-of-the-art Collision Centre and a dedicated Detail & Accessory Centre. They are also leaders in vehicle health, utilizing PurifyD technology to ensure superior air quality and cleanliness within your vehicle. With added perks like professional tire storage, the group ensures that every aspect of vehicle ownership is handled under one roof.
A Legacy of Community Care
At its heart, the West Coast Auto Group is a community partner. They are the driving force behind the Founders Cup Charity Foundation, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local causes. Their annual traditions, such as the Dry Grad car giveaway for local high school students and their long-standing support of the Friends in Need Food Bank, demonstrate a commitment to giving back to the region that has supported them since 1953. When you choose West Coast Auto Group, you are supporting a business that reinvests in local parks, schools, and charities.
