Bay Automotive is coming to Virginia Beach.

The company, which has one pre-owned car sales and service location at 6950 North Military Highway near Norfolk International Airport, has signed a lease on a second at 4493 Shore Drive in Virginia Beach, just off Northampton Boulevard and near the overpass leading to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

“We are expanding to more cities in Hampton Roads,” says Walter Wilkins, President of Bay Automotive. “We chose Shore Drive to make our pre-owned inventory more convenient to those people who live and work in northern corridor neighborhoods like Baylake, Chicks Beach, the Little Creek Base area and the north end of the oceanfront.”

Wilkins says the new sales and service center will boast Bay’s “honest, friendly and well trained staff” as well as 60-day, 2,000 mile warranties on all vehicles, 3-day return privilege, four free oil changes, state inspections for life, 10% senior and military discounts and easy access to financing

Wilkins also operates two Bay Service & Collision Centers, one at the North Military Highway location and the other near Old Dominion University at 4201 Colley Avenue. “We plan to add more service and collision centers throughout the region as well,” says Wilkins, who operated Bay Chevrolet, Bay Kia and Bay Saab on North Military Highway for decades before selling the dealership in 2012. The North Military Highway location is also the only official Saab Certified Parts and Service center on the Southside.

Bay is the only AAA Certified Automotive provider for Sales, Service and Collision repair in the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
