About Us:

From a popcorn stand to 26 dealerships.

The Garber Automotive Group story starts on the outskirts of Lansing on a small farm, where Guy S. Garber was born in 1884. Guy was homeschooled his whole life by his mother, and the family was so poor, they couldn’t afford shoes for him in the winter. But these humble beginnings couldn’t hold Guy’s entrepreneurial skills back. At only nine years old, he started his first business selling popcorn in Lansing. He took the work ethic and skills he built from that job to selling newspapers as a teenager, and to eventually working alongside his father to sell farm implements.

Guy Garber’s work ethic and sales prowess caught the eye of Billy Durant, one of the founders of General Motors. In 1907, Durant invited the 23-year-old Guy Garber to Flint to work for Buick. Three years later, Garber arrived in Saginaw and opened the store that would eventually become Garber Buick, our flagship store. In 1912, he bought out Buick’s interest in the Saginaw Valley region and by 1913, Garber was one of the original Buick Thirteen distributors.

He held that Buick distributorship until his death in 1965. But that wasn’t the end of the Garber story. His son, Richard Garber Sr., took over and guided the store through the 1960s. And in 1980, Guy’s grandson Richard J. Garber Jr. became president in the company’s 73rd year, making him the youngest Buick dealer in the nation.

Garber Automotive Group has grown significantly since Guy first opened shop in 1907. Today, the organization includes 26 new-vehicle dealerships representing 16 brands across six states. We also are home to RightWay Auto Sales, a chain of 55 used car dealerships; Gateway Financial Solutions, a subprime lending company; and the Saginaw Spirit, an OHL hockey franchise who are the 2024 Memorial Cup champions. All this and more while still being owned by the same family that started it all almost a hundred and twenty years ago.
