About Us
Here at BMW of Gainesville, we have always thought it is essential to invest in the future of our employees. When we invest in skilled training and outstanding customer service skills, we set up our employees for success and create a better overall experience for our customers. And, with the help of our 17 sister dealerships that also hold the Gettel name, we’ve been able to pool from vast resources and training that have not only helped our employees and customers, but have helped us stay successful since 2010.
BMW of Gainesville has been serving our guests for over a decade in Gainesville and the surrounding areas of Alachua, Lake City and High Springs. We care about the cities we serve so much that we have made it a goal to participate in community outreach. Gettel Automotive donates over $50,000 to schools in Alachua, Marion and other counties, and also gives a new car to the Teacher of the Year. This isn’t a random donation — we do it every year and it feels good to give back to the community that gives us so much.
Again, we’re always thinking about how we can make the future brighter for our employees, guests and community. We know that technology is the future and we show that through many various features on our website:
Along with technology, we have a wide selection to choose from when you visit our dealership in person. Our friendly staff is always willing and ready to show you around our lot and help you test drive whatever you’d like (and we know you’ll like something). Our variety of new BMW models include sleek sedans, spacious SAV®s and edgy performance vehicles. So, whether you need a vehicle to haul the whole family, a daily commuter or something to race down the freeway — we’ve got you covered.
If you’d rather get a new car without the new car price tag, then we have quality pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. You can easily browse our pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned inventory online or come down and pay us a visit — we’d love to see your smiling face. We also want to put some money back in your pocket, so we make sure to update our pre-owned and new car specials seasonally for you to find the best offers.
If you’d rather get your current vehicle service, we can help with that, too. We ensure that every part we put into your car is of the highest quality. We also have convenient service hours to work with your schedule and can offer pick-up and delivery services upon your request when you schedule your appointment.
At BMW of Gainesville, we offer a wide variety of services:
Our technicians are experienced and trained exclusively on BMW vehicles and will have your car up-and-running in no time — that way you can get back to the important stuff. Whether you need new brakes, an oil change or more extensive repairs, our expert technicians will take care of your needs for you. We can also add BMW accessories to your luxury ride and provide parts and service specials to help you save some money.
Community Involvement
As part of the Gettel family of dealerships, BMW of Gainesville is dedicated to improving and staying involved in our community however we can.
Throughout the years, we’ve donated countless hours and dollars in pursuit of making our community a better place to live. Here you’ll find some details about several of the events and charities we have participated in, past and present.
Below are just some highlights of our community involvement! We are always looking for ways to sponsor events or improve our communities.
Toys for Tots
The Gettel Automotive Group collected $17,500 and matched that collection for $35,000 raised. These funds were used to purchase 550 bicycles, which were donated to Toys for Tots in Manatee, Sarasota, Marion, Alachua, and Charlotte County. We also collected three pickup loads of toys!
Backpack Drive
Every child should be prepared to be able to learn at school, so that’s why we participate in the Gettel backpack drive, Pack a Backpack. We collect needed school supplies at our dealership to help the community and donate school supplies to kids in need.
The Education Foundation
Gettel Automotive Group’s Gettel Foundation donated $10,000.00 as part of the annual Pack a Backpack drive supporting Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Marion, and Alachua Counties.
The Education Foundations enhance the potential of our students and promote excellence in teachers and inspire innovation.
One Class at a Time
We believe North Central Florida has some of the most dedicated and talented teachers around, so we are partnering with WCJB TV20 to reward some of those exceptional teachers. Each month a teacher nominated from within our area will be awarded $500 for his or her classroom.
Food Drives
All year long, we collect non-perishable foods to benefit Bread of the Mighty Pantry. By partnering with this organization, we’re investing in the wellness of our community. We love these charities because no one in our community should be food insecure.
Parades
UF Homecoming Parade
If there’s a parade in town, you can bet we’ll be participating. We love showcasing some of our favorite vehicles to the community!
Blood Drive Host
LifeSouth Community Blood Centers
The blood supply collected from our donors directly serves the needs of patients in our local community. As a blood donor, you are a vital part of a team of individuals working together to save the lives of patients in our area’s hospitals.
Above are just some highlights of our community involvement! We are always looking for ways to sponsor events or improve our communities.
