BLVD Auto Group is a family-owned dealership with deep roots in Manatee County, serving the local automotive market for nearly 40 years across three generations.
Our family’s involvement in the automotive business began decades ago. My grandfather operated a Buy Here Pay Here dealership, providing transportation solutions to the local community. Just across the street, my father founded Auto Dealer Solutions, previously known as Ben Shives Truck Super Center, building a reputation for straightforward transactions and dependable vehicles.
As the business evolved, ownership was passed down to the third generation, and BLVD Auto Group was established as the next chapter in our family’s automotive history. While the name has changed, the foundation remains the same — honest business practices, quality vehicles, and long-term customer relationships.
A key part of what sets BLVD Auto Group apart is our in-house repair and reconditioning facility. We maintain full internal capabilities including mechanical repairs, body work, paint, detailing, as well as coordination of specialty sublet repairs when required. This allows us to carefully inspect, recondition, and stand behind every vehicle we sell.
Today, BLVD Auto Group combines decades of automotive experience with a modern, transparent approach to vehicle sales. We take pride in offering well-prepared inventory and a buying process customers can trust, while continuing a family legacy built in Manatee County — with the goal of carrying that legacy forward into the next generation.
