Click here to watch an interview with Jeff Wyler.
The Jeff Wyler Automotive family is one of the largest car dealerships in the Greater Cincinnati area, with 10 locations spanning three states. It is a $600 million business that continues to grow. The company has distinguished itself by being one of only 16 firms that have been named to this list of Greater Cincinnati's 100 largest privately held companies since the list began 22 years ago. In 2005, the Jeff Wyler Automotive Family was recognized as the 9th largest business.
"It all began with a one room showroom in Batavia in 1973," reflected Wyler, who serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company. "In the beginning we had 12 employees and we sold 21 cars our first month. Today, there are 900 employees selling 2,100 cars each month."
The Clermont County Jeff Wyler dealership has been located on Eastgate South Drive since 1976. It covers 27 acres, and offers new domestic and foreign cars, used vehicles, boats, and motorcycles.
While jokingly saying that it was luck that brought him to this thriving area, Wyler is quick to point out that the basic building blocks for a strong business are in place in Clermont County, including quick access to transportation and readily available, quality real estate.
"Hiring good people is a key component to my success," adds Wyler. "Even if customers don't buy a car from us, I want customers to walk away feeling they've been treated fairly and with respect."
