Our Story

At Bergeron, we are one of the few remaining dealerships to still be operated in the original building by the same family that started the business more than 55 years ago! 

Our employees have been at the core of our success for more than half a century, as their focus has always been honesty, transparency, and family values. This reputation of not just prioritizing what is being sold, but also how it is being sold has resulted in everybody knowing about Bergeron.

Over the years, our employees and customers have truly become an essential part of our family. When folks think about Bergeron, they don’t think about our billboards or our TV commercials. They remember how they were treated when they came in; and maybe even how their parents were treated, as well as their grandparents before them.

It's More Than Just Cars

Our employees are what makes us who we are. At Bergeron, we create an environment where our employees will grow, thrive, and enjoy coming to work. When you work for us, you become part of the #BergeronFamily and get treated accordingly.  

Being a family business, as well as locally owned and operated gives us an advantage! We relate to you and you relate to us. As such, some of our employees have been with us for as long as 40 years! When you work for us, we aim to please your work needs and gain a team member for the entirety of their career. We have employees who have worked under all three generations of our ownership!

Testimonials

David Cerritelli

David has been in the automotive industry for 36 years at different dealerships around the country. He has served in various areas of operations in the business. He is currently acting as our Customer Experience Manager. When asked about his time with Bergeron, he said “There is no store like this one. If I would have started here, I would have never worked anywhere else” 

Jesse Fonseca

“I started my career with Bergeron. They gave me a shot when no one else would. They saw something in the young 19-year-old who loved cars and gave me my shot in the business. When tragedy struck in my own family, my Bergeron family was there for me. They gave me a career and a second family". Jesse is now one of our top sellers and we couldn't imagine our team without him.

Samantha Wyant

Sammy is one of our top Volvo salespeople. She has enjoyed success in our sales department here for 3 years. But what she enjoys most about Bergeron is the supportive culture. When asked about it she said "They truly care about me as a person, not just an employee. During my first week on the job I was hospitalized and the genuine empathy and care, I felt from people I barely knew was overwhelming. I knew I found a home away from home."
