Cox Automotive: A Legacy Built on Trust

The Cox family has thrived by working together, leveraging their strengths, and maintaining a dedication to stewardship, partnership, family, and community. For customers new to the area, Cox Chevrolet consistently comes up as the trusted place for buying and servicing an automobile. This enduring presence is not a surprise to customers who have come to know the consistent character of every Cox family member.

 


A Legacy Built on Trust

In the car business, Cox has the special opportunity to serve people during both awesome moments, like buying a new car, and challenging times, like needing vehicle repairs. Customers often become part of the extended family, with some relationships spanning generations—from grandparents to mothers, with many cars bought over the decades. Some customers even stop by just for a cup of coffee and a conversation with the family.

Commitment to the Bradenton Community

The Cox family’s involvement in the community goes far beyond the dealership. They actively support local organizations and numerous charities, participating in golf tournaments, supporting the Police Athletic League and the Florida Sheriff’s Association, and engaging with schools and churches. Adding value to the community is simply a part of their daily life. The community has supported the business, and Cox, in turn, pours resources, time, and talent back into the community, often showing up with “hands and feet on the ground” to push missions forward. 

During the recent hurricanes, the Coxes opened their dealership to first responders, even finding a way to supply gasoline to the police who were protecting the community. The family’s generosity is evident through “hands up” support, rather than simple “hand outs.” With so many new residents needing a reliable vehicle, the name “Chevrolet” naturally comes up, and Cox’s hundred-year tenure in the community stands unmatched.

Cox Chevrolet: Looking to the Next 100 Years

The Cox family is deeply thankful for the immense support poured in by the community. This support allows the business to complete the full circle by investing back into the community. Reflecting on the journey that began in 1926, the hope is that Cox will continue serving the community and receiving the same love and support for the next hundred years, perhaps even celebrating 200 years of service.
