It has been said that everything rises and falls


It was the leadership of Mr. Smith which formed the foundation of the Company we celebrate today. With 20 stores, representing15 brands and several hundred employees, Sonic Automotive was launched as a public company in November 1997. It is that same commitment to leadership, exercised every day by every one of our associates, which has made Sonic Automotive one of the largest and most successful automotive retailers in the country.
