About this update from Group 1 Automotive, Inc.

Former Toyota of Bowie location continues serving Bowie and Prince George's County Toyota customers under the Group 1 Toyota Bowie name BOWIE, Md., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In a strategic move to unify its extensive network of dealerships, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Houston-based automotive retailer with dealerships across the U.S. and U.K., today announced that Toyota of Bowie has been renamed Group 1 Toyota Bowie as part of the company's nationwide efforts to align dealerships under the Group 1 name. The Bowie dealership is one of many U.S. locations being aligned under the Group 1 name, giving customers a clearer connection to Group 1's scale, resources, and operational standards while preserving the local team, Toyota expertise, and customer relationships that have served Bowie-area drivers for decades. Backed by the scale, resources, and expertise of an international automotive retailer, Group 1 Automotive remains focused on delivering the personalized service and community connections that define the local dealership experience.

Better Customer Experience The transition from Toyota of Bowie to Group 1 Toyota Bowie is part of a broader effort to create a more consistent customer experience across Group 1's U.S. retail network. While the dealership's name has changed, the rebrand does not represent a change in ownership, staffing, Toyota product offerings, or day-to-day operations. Group 1 Automotive has owned and operated the Bowie Toyota dealership since early 2024, when the location joined the company's Maryland operations. The new name formally connects the location to Group 1's national platform, giving local customers the benefit of a familiar Bowie dealership supported by the resources, technology, and operational discipline of a larger automotive group. "Our customers keep the same Toyota team, the same store, and the same relationships they've built here in Bowie," said David Gruner Jr., General Manager of Group 1 Toyota Bowie. "As we move forward under the Group 1 name, our focus is on making every step of the experience more convenient and transparent, whether someone is shopping for a new Toyota, searching for the right used vehicle, or servicing the one they already own." Continuity of Service and Local Commitment Group 1 Toyota Bowie will continue to serve customers from its existing location...
