The Carland Group has been serving Georgia for over 45 years and is owned by Richard “Buck” Woodruff. Because of this success with Honda, Buck, has owned many Honda dealerships in the Atlanta area. Buck was awarded a new Honda dealership at Mall of Georgia in 2000, and took a partner in that store. Lanier Honda operated for many successful years until it was sold to the Penske Auto Group in 2005.
Children who once remember riding in their parents’ new Carland vehicles have bought themselves many new Carland vehicles over the years, as have their children and now their grandchildren. Buck continues to own their building and real estate where Mall of Georgia Honda is today. Buck also owned Honda Carland of Cartersville for many successful years. Because of the growth in the Alpharetta and Johns Creek area over the past 15 years, Honda asked Buck to build a state-of-the-art stand-alone Honda service center to make it convenient for all our happy customers to care for their Hondas. Honda Carland Service Center in Alpharetta, GA was opened in 2001, and services many happy Honda owners daily.
1974
The Carland Group began in 1974 with Honda Carland in Roswell, Georgia. After many years of success with Honda, Acura Carland of Duluth was brought into the fold in 1990.
After many years of operating large corporate-owned auto dealerships, Guy McRee joined Buck in 2015 to manage the Carland Group. Guy shares Buck’s belief that employees are the most important part of the car business.
We want the Carland Group to be the place where you can make the automobile business your career. Guy and Buck welcome you to the family, and wish you many successful years in the Carland Group.
