Jones Invests Millions in Sumter with New GMC Dealership and Expanded Jones Chevrolet GMC Automotive Campus
After 60 years of living, working and doing business in Sumter, the Jones family is making one of its most significant investments yet in the community it calls home. Jones is investing millions of dollars in Sumter with the construction of an all-new GMC dealership next to the existing Jones Chevrolet dealership, bringing the two operations together to create one large Jones Chevrolet GMC automotive campus.
Scheduled to come together by the end of 2026, the new campus represents much more than a new building. It is a multimillion-dollar commitment to the future of Sumter, Jones customers and the generations that will follow. The expansion comes as the Jones family celebrates its 60th anniversary of serving Sumter, a history that began in 1966.
"Sumter has supported our family and our dealerships for 60 years, and we believe in investing right back into the community that has invested in us," said Robert Jones, one of the owners. "Building this new GMC dealership and bringing Chevrolet and GMC together on one campus is a major investment, but more importantly, it is a statement about our future. We're here, we're growing, and we plan to serve Sumter for generations to come."
A Multimillion-Dollar Investment in Sumter
The new GMC dealership is being constructed adjacent to Jones Chevrolet, transforming the property into a larger, unified automotive destination. Once complete, customers will be able to shop Chevrolet, GMC and an extensive selection of pre-owned vehicles in one convenient location.
The multimillion-dollar project represents a substantial investment by the Jones family in the local community and will provide a modern new home for Jones GMC while allowing both dealerships to operate together as one campus.
For customers, the benefits will be immediate: more vehicles, more choices and greater convenience. Instead of Chevrolet and GMC operating from separate dealership locations, customers will be able to explore both brands, and a much larger combined pre-owned inventory, at one destination.
The new campus also reflects the Jones family's confidence in Sumter and its commitment to remaining part of the community for decades to come.
Chevrolet: A Vehicle for Nearly Every Stage of Life
Jones Chevrolet will continue offering Chevrolet's broad selection of trucks and SUVs. From the hardworking Silverado and versatile Colorado to SUVs including the Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe and Suburban, Chevrolet offers choices for first-time buyers, families, businesses, commuters, adventurers and longtime truck owners alike.
GMC Joins Jones Chevrolet: A Brand Built for Capability
Right next door, the all-new GMC dealership will provide a modern new home for a brand known for combining capability, technology and refinement. Customers can explore GMC trucks and SUVs, including the Sierra 1500, Sierra HD, Canyon, Terrain, Acadia and Yukon, as well as GMC's growing selection of electric vehicles.
Whether customers are looking for a truck for the jobsite, an SUV for a growing family or a premium vehicle for everyday driving, the new Jones GMC facility is being built to create an experience worthy of the vehicles it represents.
With GMC located directly alongside Jones Chevrolet, customers will have the added convenience of comparing an even broader selection of vehicles without traveling between dealership locations. Together, Chevrolet and GMC will give customers access to an extensive range of vehicles on one Jones automotive campus, all backed by the same family and customer-focused approach Sumter has known for six decades.
A New Vehicle Is a Big Deal and Jones Has You Covered
Buying a new Chevrolet or GMC is a major purchase, and Jones Chevrolet GMC believes customers should have added confidence long after they drive off the lot. That's why most new Chevrolet and GMC vehicles purchased from Jones Chevrolet GMC include the Jones Exclusive 20-Year / 200,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty at no additional cost to the customer.
- Long-term coverage: Up to 20 years or 200,000 miles on major powertrain components, including the engine, transmission and drivetrain
- Low deductible: Just $100 per repair visit, covering both parts and labor
- Nationwide flexibility: Can be used at any licensed repair facility in the United States
- Built-in value: Included at no additional cost on most new Chevrolet and GMC vehicles
It's another way Jones stands behind the vehicles it sells and gives customers additional peace of mind for the road ahead.
Warranty applies to qualifying new, non-titled vehicles for the original owner only and is not transferable. Manufacturer-recommended maintenance must be completed and service records retained. Not available on electric vehicles, Chevrolet Corvettes, GMC HUMMER models or vehicles used for business or commercial purposes. See dealer for a copy of the Jones Exclusive 20-Year / 200,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty details, including coverage, eligibility, terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions.
A Bigger Destination for Pre-Owned Vehicles
The combined campus will also make shopping for a quality pre-owned vehicle more convenient. Jones Chevrolet GMC will offer a large selection of handpicked pre-owned cars, trucks and SUVs, including CarBravo Certified vehicles, with the combined inventory conveniently available at one automotive destination.
Once customers purchase a CarBravo Certified used vehicle, they can drive away knowing their vehicle is backed by a standard limited warranty and supported by more than 4,000 Certified Service centers nationwide. Jones also provides a FREE CARFAX® Vehicle History Report for additional peace of mind.
With both dealerships together on one large automotive campus, customers searching for a pre-owned vehicle will have more choices in one convenient location, making it easier to compare vehicles and find the car, truck or SUV that best fits their lifestyle, needs and budget.
60 Years in Sumter. And We're Just Getting Started.
The timing of the new Jones Chevrolet GMC campus carries special meaning for the Jones family. 2026 marks 60 years since the family began serving Sumter in 1966. The dealership is commemorating that milestone with a message that connects its history with its future: "Serving Sumter since 1966 and for generations to come."
Over six decades, vehicles have changed. Dealerships have changed. Technology has changed. But the Jones family's connection to Sumter has remained.
Generations of Jones customers have purchased their first cars here, returned for family vehicles, bought trucks for their businesses and eventually brought their children, and, in many cases, their grandchildren, back to Jones for vehicles of their own.
That is why this multimillion-dollar investment is about more than bricks, glass and a new showroom. It is an investment in Sumter and a commitment to continue living, working and serving alongside the people who have supported the Jones family for the past 60 years.
"We're incredibly proud of the 60 years behind us, but we're just as excited about the 60 years ahead," said Robert Jones. "Our family has grown up alongside this community, and we want the next generation, and the generations after them, to know that Jones will still be here, continuing to invest in Sumter and continuing to take care of our customers."
For 60 years, the Jones family has lived here, worked here and served here. Now, with millions of dollars being invested into a new GMC dealership and the creation of one large Jones Chevrolet GMC automotive campus, the family is building a home for the next 60 years and for the many generations still to come.
