History

The name Myers first became associated with automotive retailing and service in Ottawa in 1942. At that time Gordon Myers established Myers Motors as the successor dealership to Pinks Limited (the first General Motors Dealership in Ottawa). In the years since, Myers has had four owners: Bob Moore followed Gordon Myers in 1954, and Neil McDonald took over from Bob in 1959. Hank Mews, the current owner, replaced Neil in 1975. Myers took occupancy of its current location on Baseline Road in 1971, following previous stints on Slater Street (the original location!) and Elgin Street (where the police station is now situated). Back then we had just over four acres and all our departments were housed under one roof. Between 1984 and 1986, a major expansion was undertaken resulting in the construction of a modern 32-bay, 17,000 sq ft Body and Paint Centre, followed by another 17,000 sq ft facility, home to 49 mechanical service bays, our showroom, reception area, offices, lounges and kitchen facilities.
