HAROLD NYE FOUNDED THE NYE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP IN 1968. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WAS LOCATED ON BROAD ST. IN ONEIDA, AND LATER MOVED TO THE 5 CORNERS LOCATION, WHERE IT REMAINED FOR OVER 20 YEARS. OUR STAPLE GLASS BUILDING AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, WHICH IS NOW HOME TO OUR FORD LINCOLN STORE, WAS THEN BUILT IN 1990, WITH OUR TOYOTA SCION AND BUICK GMC BUILDINGS TO COME IN THE YEARS TO FOLLOW.  HAROLD MODELED OUR FAMOUS GLASS BUILDING AFTER HIS FORD DEALERSHIP IN ALASKA. IN 1994, WALMART PURCHASED THE LAND AT THE 5 CORNERS WHERE THE DEALERSHIP WAS LOCATED. WE FELT THAT OUR NEW BUILDING OFFERED CUSTOMERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOP FOR VEHICLES, AND HAVE SERVICE PERFORMED IN A CLEAN, MODERN AND RELAXED SETTING. BEING IN BUSINESS FOR ALMOST FORTY YEARS, OUR EMPLOYEES UNDERSTAND THAT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR NUMBER 1 GOAL. WE ARE PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE MET NUMEROUS HIGH STANDARDS AND HAVE BEEN PRESENTED VARIOUS AWARDS FOR SALES AND SERVICE ACROSS ALL OF OUR BRANDS.

WHEN HAROLD DIED IN 1997, BILL, HIS OLDEST SON, BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE WORKING IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, BILL LEARNED THE BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP. HE HELD VARIOUS POSITIONS IN PARTS, SALES, FINANCE, AND DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT.  HE BECAME THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP IN 1999. OUR BUSINESS HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. BILL HAS HELD UP THE QUALITY STANDARDS HAROLD IMPLEMENTED YEARS AGO, AND WE SINCERELY FEEL THAT OUR SALES AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS OFFER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IS SECOND TO NONE. IN FACT, NYE TOYOTA HAS WON THE PRESTIGIOUS PRESIDENTS AWARD FROM TOYOTA IN 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, AND 2010, A TOTAL OF 12 TIMES! AT THE MOMENT TOYOTA IS OUR FASTEST GROWING FRANCHISE AND THAT IS WHY WE BUILT OUR NEW STATE OF THE ART FACILITY TO BETTER SERVE OUR CUSTOMERS. THIS FACILITY IS ONE OF THE FIRST TOTALLY COMPLETE IMAGE 2 CONCEPT DEALERSHIPS IN THE NEW YORK REGION. THE NEW FACILITY OFFERS A LARGER MORE COMFORTABLE SHOWROOM AND WAITING LOUNGE WITH WI-FI INTERNET. OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS MANY MORE SERVICE BAYS, A QUICK LUBE BAY, AND DRIVE THRU LANES SO YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR OUTSIDE AND FACE THE ELEMENTS!

WE HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 300 NEW AND 100 USED VEHICLES ON OUR LOT, BUT ALSO HAVE OVER 100 NEW VEHICLES BEING BUILT FOR US RIGHT NOW AT THE FACTORY. AS OF LATE WE ARE ONE OF THE TOP DEALERSHIPS IN CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE.
