Looking for a car dealer in Bartow, FL? Huston Automotive Group's closest showroom is a short trip north on US 17 at 1555 1st St S in Winter Haven — roughly 12 miles and about 20 minutes from downtown Bartow. It's one of five Huston Automotive Group dealership locations spread across Polk and Highlands Counties, and together they carry eight brands: GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM. Bartow shoppers comparing GM brands side by side can also start with our GMC, Buick & Cadillac dealer serving Polk County.
Bartow is the Polk County seat — the "City of Oaks and Azaleas," founded as Fort Blount in 1851 and incorporated in 1882. The Peace River starts near Lake Hancock just north of town, phosphate mining still drives a big share of local jobs, and US 17, US 98 and SR 60 all meet here. Between county-seat commutes, job-site hauling and weekends at Circle B Bar Reserve or out on Lake Hancock chasing bass, plenty of Bartow households end up shopping new pickup trucks like the GMC Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, or a three-row GMC Yukon or Buick Enclave for the family.
Whichever Huston showroom you pick, you're working with the same family-owned group that's served Central Florida since 1974 — transparent pricing, no-pressure salespeople, and a hometown dealership team Central Florida has trusted for decades.
