Subaru of North Bay, formerly Gold Fleet Subaru, announced a change in ownership from Cliff Pilon to Vince Palladino and the Palladino Auto Group.
“I am incredibly excited to announce our most recent acquisition, Subaru of North Bay. We are elated to further represent the Subaru brand in Northern Ontario, including Palladino Subaru in Sudbury,” said Vince Palladino.
The Palladino Auto Group is no stranger to the North Bay market having operated North Bay Mazda for six years, recently sold in December.
“We were very motivated to remain in the North Bay market given its strong, dynamic business environment and are thrilled to be able to expand our relationship with such an iconic brand,” he added. “We have a talented and dedicated team in place, and I am confident that together with the support of the Palladino Auto Group, we will be able to provide our customers with an enhanced customer experience and level of overall satisfaction that is unmatched in the region.”
The Palladino name was established in the automotive industry over 50 years ago by Vince “Vip” Palladino who became a Honda dealer in Sudbury Ontario in 1975. His son Vince Palladino took over in 2000. The Palladino Auto Group owns and operates seven automotive dealerships and one powersports franchise in four cities throughout Ontario. The Palladino Auto Group manages dealerships in London, Toronto, North Bay and Sudbury.
Under new ownership, Subaru of North Bay will continue to offer a wide selection of new and certified pre-owned Subaru vehicles as well as a vast selection of off make pre-owned vehicles. Their Subaru-certified technicians are extensively trained and possess the tools, knowledge and skills necessary to service all Subaru vehicles along with all other pre-owned makes and models.
