History

The Yates automotive story began in $1958,$ when Mr$.$ George Yates opened his first Auto Repair facility in Barrie. George Yates Jr$.$ and Peter Yates began working with their father while still quite young, and became involved on a full$-$time basis after graduating from university. In $1974,$ George Yates Sr$.$ and his sons began selling GM automobiles. In $1988,$ after their father$$s retirement, the Yates brothers opened up their cleaning and detailing centre. Since that time, several of George Yates$$ grandchildren have also joined the company.

When you come to the dealership you will find a $71,000$ sq ft GMC dealership and service department. The building features spacious showrooms, large, comfortable waiting areas, and customer work centers with internet access. The Yates Motors team is committed to giving back to the community that has supported them for over $50$ years. Long$-$time supporters of countless local charities and community events, the family's efforts have assisted close to $200$ charitable groups in recent years.
