EXPERIENCE THE PREMIER DIFFERENCE FOUNDED IN 1995


WHO WE ARE Premier Automotive was established in 1995 as a Toyota dealership located in the heart of New Orleans. Since then, we have expanded our reach and now have over 30 locations across California, Kansas, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Mississippi, and Georgia. The organization was founded by Troy Duhon, who had dreamt of becoming a car dealer. We strive to help others achieve their dreams as well by offering opportunities for talented individuals to become leaders in our dealerships. We encourage them to seek a greater purpose in life beyond financial gain. Our commitment to excellence has led to our recognition as one of the country's fastest-growing automotive groups by Automotive News, with sales exceeding $1 billion. More importantly, our partnership with Giving Hope has inspired our company's growth by allowing us to help others in need through our Profit for a Purpose program. At Premier Automotive, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service to our customers, fostering leadership and personal growth in our employees, and making a positive impact in our communities.

MISSION STATEMENT Our mission at Premier Automotive is to help all consumers have an enjoyable experience acquiring and maintaining transportation so they will have an opportunity to experience what God has called them to do.
