At Ancira Auto Group, it???s all about sharing ??? sharing data and business goals openly with its 550 employees, sharing its spirit of family across 11 dealerships, sharing responsibility with employees for belt-tightening in tough times, and sharing community spirit with customers and organizations throughout greater San Antonio via social media with: AnciraBook www.anciracommunity.com.
April Ancira, vice president and daughter of Ancira Auto Group President, Ernesto Ancira, Jr., says it???s been that spirit of sharing that has enabled Ancira to get through the worst year in its financial history ??? 2008 ??? and move ahead into Ancira???s most profitable year ever ??? 2010 ??? where Ancira earned more than $461M in revenues.
Founded in San Antonio, in 1972, by Owner Ernesto Ancira, Jr., Ancira Auto Group may have been the first, or was certainly among the first, minority-owned dealerships in the U.S., says April.
Today, Ancira Auto Group has 11 franchises: Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, GMC, Buick, Kia, Nissan, Volkswagen, and Fiat, plus Ancira RV, which sells a variety of recreational vehicles ??? and Ancira operates 11 dealerships in San Antonio, Eagle Pass, Alvarado, Floresville and Boerne, Texas.
The San Antonio Business Journal has named Ancira the largest San Antonio minority-owned business and Express News has named Ancira one of the 10 best places to work in San Antonio.
April Ancira recently met with Dealer magazine and shared Ancira???s recipe for success that has worked so well over the decades.
