What Hanania Automotive does

Hanania Automotive Group is a privately held, family-owned automotive dealership group founded by Jack Hanania Sr. in 2001 with the acquisition of Acura of Orange Park after 18 prior years in the industry. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company operates 13 brand franchises across 17 OEM brands (Audi, Acura, Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, INFINITI, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Porsche, RAM, Subaru, and Volkswagen), complemented by two-to-three collision centers. Geographically the group spans North Florida (Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Palm Coast), South Florida (Estero, Miami), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), and Nebraska (Omaha), with a North Shore CDJR dealership scheduled to open in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Fall 2026.

The business model combines new and pre-owned vehicle sales (prices ranging from approximately $6,000 to over $130,000), OEM-certified service and parts operations, collision repair, and finance-and-insurance products sourced through dozens of lender and credit-union partners. Value-added offerings include the "Peace of Mind" protection suite, "Hanania To You" free pickup/delivery within 50 miles of North Florida stores, the "Shop Your Way" online purchasing experience with custom walkaround videos, and free CARFAX vehicle history reports on used inventory. The group employs more than 1,000 team members and reports 25,000+ customer reviews and a BBB A+ rating.

Hanania sells directly to consumers through its physical dealership rooftops and an online inventory browsing platform, supported by lender relationships for financing and multi-language sales/service staff. The technology stack is described as standard dealer management systems with a customer-facing website powered by Auto Genius; no proprietary technology, AI, or data products are disclosed. Leadership includes founder/CEO Jack Hanania Sr., Vice President Jack Hanania Jr. (recognized for growing two GM dealerships to Mark of Excellence), General Manager Mark Hanania (son, INFINITI of Orange Park), CFO Jonathan Noonan, and Chief of Staff Karma Latasa.
