What Bean Automotive Group does

Bean Automotive Group is a privately held, family-owned automotive dealership group headquartered in Miami, Florida, operating four franchised rooftops across the Toyota and Lexus brands: Kendall Toyota (founded 1969, the first Toyota dealer in Miami), West Kendall Toyota (opened 2010), Lexus of Kendall (opened 1990, one of the first Lexus dealers in the US), and Lexus of West Kendall. The group is currently led by owner and dealer principal Lori Bean, daughter of founder Gerald Bean, and employs over 700 associates across sales, service, parts, finance, and administrative functions.

The group's revenue model combines four streams: (1) new vehicle sales of Toyota and Lexus models, with 1,372 new units in current inventory; (2) pre-owned and certified pre-owned sales, with 687 used and 215 CPO vehicles in stock; (3) factory-authorized auto service and repair staffed by ASE Certified Technicians, with the group servicing over 60,000 vehicles annually; and (4) genuine OEM parts sales plus F&I financing income from lender partnerships. Combined vehicle throughput approaches 2,000 new and pre-owned units per month. Customer experience is delivered through physical showrooms plus a digital layer including online inventory browsing (Cars Commerce), online service scheduling, online parts ordering, and customer review integration (Google, DealerRater). Pricing on used vehicles spans roughly $5,500-$12,000+ and on CPO vehicles roughly $20,000-$26,000+, with new vehicles such as the 2026 Toyota Corolla LE starting near a $24,570 TSRP plus $949 dealer fee, $548 electronic title fee, and $75 tag agency fee.

The customer base consists entirely of individual retail consumers in South Florida, with no B2B or fleet contracts disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer through dealerships, supported by Facebook/Instagram organic social, a company blog, community event sponsorships, and customer-review platforms. Bean has invested in workforce development, including a partnership with Miami-Dade College's automotive program, and reports over 80% of managerial positions held by women or minority associates and over 5,000 paid volunteer hours annually through community partnerships such as Habitat for Humanity, Live Like Bella Foundation, and Zoo Miami. The group has received multiple workplace-wellness awards, including 2023 American Heart Association Platinum recognition for the Workforce Well-being Scorecard.
