OUR STORY
Born and raised in Corona, Queens
Familia Motor Group opened its doors in 2017, but our story started before that. We were working side by side at a dealership, learning the car business inside and out: how deals get structured, how the process really works, and what customers go through along the way. We saw the stress and the frustration up close, every single day. We knew there had to be a better way, so we decided to build it ourselves.
2017
It started at Mom's kitchen table.
We didn't have much capital. What we had was a kitchen table, a phone and each other. No employees, just us. We quoted clients, prequalified customers, picked up and dropped off cars, answered every call, handled the accounting and ran the marketing. We did everything from A to Z, and it taught us every part of this business. Our first clients were friends and family who believed in us, and that trust gave us the courage to keep going.
2018
Our name on the door.
In 2018 we took the leap and opened our first office in East Elmhurst, Queens, right next to Corona, where we were born and raised. It was under 1,000 square feet, but seeing the Familia name on a storefront for the first time meant everything. It was never about the space. It was about what we were building. Our team grew from 4 to about 10, and we delivered 254 cars that year. In 2019 we more than doubled it with 630, and we had already outgrown that little office.
2019 to 2021
Built through the storm.
In 2019 we moved into a bigger space, and that was the start of something special. Then COVID hit. Our team grew to almost 40 people, and in March 2021 we had the biggest month in our history: 163 cars delivered. Growing that big that fast came with real growing pains, but we pushed through one of the toughest times this industry has ever seen, vehicle shortage and all. Those years built our grit and showed our clients that Familia is here to stay.
Today
Our home on Long Island.
In 2022 we opened our world class facility on Long Island, with room to park cars and trades and serve our clients better than ever. 4 years later, we're on track for the biggest year in our history.
STILL FAMILY
That kind of growth doesn't come from just selling cars. It comes from delivering an experience, treating people the right way and earning their trust. Clients who worked with us 5 or 6 years ago keep coming back, and they keep sending their family and friends.
Because at Familia, handing you the keys is just the beginning. Growing family and need more space? We're here. Ready to downsize or upgrade? We're here. Accident, flat tire, insurance headache? We're here for all of it.
