THE FAMILY TRADITION
For Shoreline Automotive owner Dillon Lee, the car business has been passed down through generations. It all started in Rebuck, PA, when Dillon’s great grandfather Irvin Crissinger opened up Crissinger Motors in 1923. At the time of Irwin’s passing in 1987, his dealership was the oldest Ford dealership in the United States, and his son-in-law Bill Strohecker assumed ownership. Shortly afterward, Dillon’s father Greg Lee opened up his own dealership in 1992 — Greg Lee Ford in Yanceyville, NC.
A NEW ERA: SHORELINE AUTOMOTIVE
In July 2018, Dillon followed in his family’s footsteps and opened Shoreline Automotive in Sarasota. Shoreline was founded on the belief that buying a car should be a personalized, stress-free experience. We strive to exceed customer needs with quality cars and honest, upfront communication of cost and vehicle condition. To learn about Shoreline’s location and hours, click here.
WHAT SETS SHORELINE APART?
No Dealer Fees
No dealer fees and upfront pricing means that buying through us is like buying through a private seller, except we save you the trip to the DMV!
Appointment-Only Model
Our appointment-only model allows us to meet customers at times most convenient to them, whether on the weekend or after work.
Low Overhead Costs
Cars are kept indoors in our warehouse and not on an outdoor lot. Low overhead costs allow us to price our vehicles more competitively for the best deal for you.
Low Pressure
We believe in paperwork-free test drives and no pressure sales.
Personal Experience
Shoreline Automotive is owner-operated, so your experience from test drive to purchase will have one point of contact instead of multiple salespeople and managers.
