Motor City Buick GMC Named Dealer of the Year for the 17th Time in Bakersfield, California

Motor City Buick GMC is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized as a GMC Dealer of the Year — marking the 17th time our dealership has earned this prestigious honor.

For drivers in Bakersfield, Kern County, and throughout Central California, this award reflects what Motor City Buick GMC has stood for since 1940: exceptional customer service, a huge selection of Buick and GMC vehicles, transparent pricing, and a commitment to treating customers like family.

Looking for a quick escape from Bakersfield? The Central Coast of California is just a short two-hour drive away and offers the perfect blend of outdoor fun, coastal beauty, and family-friendly activities.

Motor City Mondays – Community, Conversation, and the Best of GMC

At Motor City Buick GMC, we’re proud to be more than just a dealership — we’re part of the Bakersfield community. That’s why we’ve partnered with Greg Kerr, Eyewitness News Sports Director, to bring you Motor City Mondays, a unique series of interviews with local difference-makers, athletes, and leaders — all filmed inside our premium GMC vehicles.

At Motor City Buick GMC, we’re proud to support the future of Bakersfield’s student-athletes by partnering with A3 Athletes’ Advantage Academy and A3 Sports Performance.

A3 Sports Performance helps local athletes prepare for high school, college, and professional sports through elite training and coaching. But many promising athletes face financial barriers that keep them from accessing these life-changing opportunities.

Spring in Bakersfield means warmer days are here—and let’s be honest, we’re all just trying to survive the heat without melting (insert sad face emoji, lol). Luckily, our friends at Modern Grub, Inc. have shared their top health tips to help you stay cool, hydrated, and energized while juggling your busy life.

Looking for the perfect springtime getaway? There’s no better way to experience California’s natural beauty than with a wildflower road trip through the Golden State. From vibrant poppies to rare desert blooms, California transforms into a colorful canvas each spring—making it the ideal time to hit the road in a reliable, adventure-ready GMC from Motor City Buick GMC in Bakersfield, CA.

 

A3 Sports Performance prepares local Bakersfield athletes for high school teams, collegiate sports, and beyond. While their services and facilities offer incredible support to all ages and levels of athletes, there is a need for sponsoring athletes who would otherwise not have the chance to attend A3. Motor City has partnered with the A3 team to call on our community to sponsor local athletes in their pursuit of achieving their goals, dreams, and future athletic careers. 

We recently took the 2025 GMC Acadia on an unforgettable road trip to Marley’s Mutts Ranch in Tehachapi, California, to witness the incredible work they do for rescue dogs. Along the way, we met Melissa Brunson, Executive Director, and her loyal companion, Stacy, to see firsthand how their efforts are transforming the lives of countless animals.
