Coyle Chevrolet celebrates 70 years of business, local ownership

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A local business celebrates 70 years of business, and three generations of ownership by the same family. Coyle Auto Group held its "Customer Appreciation Day" Thursday.

The dealership was founded by Walter Coyle in 1945, under the name New Albany Motor Company. His grandsons now operate the company's two locations, four franchises and collision center in Clarksville.

"There's a lot of competition and this business has always had it and always will have it and we do a very good job in our marketplace and we're glad to continue doing what we're doing and I think it goes back to the people. I think it goes back to our employees and back to our customers," president Mike Coyle Jr. said.

The owners say they're not just celebrating 70 years in business, but also a brand new showroom and service center.
