Long-time Birmingham auto sellers acquire Ensley dealership
An Ensley auto dealership has a venerable new owner.
Carlock Honda is now Edwards Honda, taking the name of the nearly 110-year-old dealership after the deal.
Kevin Liles, dealer principal at Edwards Chevrolet 280, announced the deal on Facebook.
“With over 110 years of automotive excellence, Edwards is excited to bring our legacy, culture, and commitment to family values to the Honda brand right here in Birmingham,” Liles wrote.
“Now locally owned and operated by Lee Edwards and Kevin Liles, Edwards Honda is dedicated to delivering the same trusted experience our customers have come to expect for generations.”
Carlock Honda, located at 1813 Ensley Ave., has its own history. In 2008, Tony Serra created Serra Honda after acquiring Neil Bonnett Honda and moving it to 20th Street in Ensley in a bid to spark revitalization in the area.
The dealership changed hands several times – most recently three years ago, when it became Carlock Honda.
Edwards Chevrolet was founded by Sterling Edwards in 1916 and led for many years by his son, Leon Wyman Edwards.
