Vatland Honda is here to stay and looking to expand more and offer our customer exceptional service before, during and after the sale of any product purchased thru us.

For well over 30 years, the Vatland family has been serving Vero Beach and all of Indian River County. It started with Mr. Olaf V. Vatland and Vatland Oldsmobile in 1970. At that time it was located at the corner of US 1 and 20th Street right here in Vero Beach. After the passing of Mr. Olaf Vatland in 1974, his son Robert J. Vatland, took over the dealership and became the youngest Oldsmobile Dealer in the United States. Under the leadership of Robert Vatland, the dealership saw continued success; And in 1976 Vatland Oldsmobile went through a major change: Vatland Oldsmobile took on the additions of Pontiac and GMC. Vatland Oldsmobile grew to become, Vatland Olds-Pontiac-GMC, Inc. With those additions, Vatland Olds-Pontiac-GMC became the largest dealership in Vero Beach and serving all of Indian River County. In the early 1990?ˆ™s, Vatland grew again with the addition of Honda to the lineup.? In 1993 the first Honda rolled off the trucks to the front line. Vatland Honda was born.? Thru all the 1990?ˆ™s Vatland was the largest dealer in the Treasure Coast with 4 franchises in 1 single lot location, Joint service Department and Staff to help all the customers.

In fall of 2005, we found a construction warehouse called Scotty?ˆ™s.? Vatland Pontiac GMC would take over the existing Honda facility and create a Pre Owned Superstore.? Honda Service became our quick lube department and Vatland grew again to accommodate more and more customers. With a Great location secured for the growth of Honda, we were eager to get started.? Accountants, architects, builders, designers all got together and created a plan to renovate the dilapidated warehouse into a first class Automotive facility.

Things had to move fast and accurate to make a deadline on a renovation of 65,000 feet of display space, parts warehouse, accounting offices and service facilities.
