Our story

A legacy built on trust

Founded in 1958 as Leavens Motors, LEAVENS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP has grown from a single store into a trusted, multi-location dealership group serving Southwestern Ontario.

Today, LEAVENS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP includes five locations in London, Ontario, and one in Windsor/Tecumseh—making it easy for customers across the region to shop, service, and finance with confidence. Over the years, the group has also been proud to operate brands including Orillia Volkswagen, Volkswagen Chatham, Audi Windsor, and Porsche of London.


About Leavens Auto Group

Leavens Auto Group is a family-built, customer-driven automotive group serving drivers across Ontario with a lineup of leading brands and a reputation for transparent, hassle-free car buying. Under the leadership of Chris Leavens, the group has grown from a single dealership into a multi-rooftop operation known for its professional team, modern facilities, and long-term customer relationships.

Growth Under Chris Leavens

Since Chris Leavens took the helm, the group has focused on strategic growth and customer experience rather than volume alone. That vision has led to:

  • Expansion into multiple brands and locations, giving customers more choice in new, used, and certified pre‑owned vehicles.
  • Significant investment in service departments, technician training, and diagnostic equipment, so guests can service every vehicle at one trusted group.
  • A stronger online presence, with easy‑to‑use websites, digital retail options, and transparent information for busy shoppers who prefer to start their purchase from home.

This steady growth has helped make Leavens Auto Group one of the most trusted names in the region for Volvo, Mazda, Subaru, Volkswagen, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram shoppers.

Customer-First Philosophy

At every dealership in the group, the philosophy is simple: treat every guest like a long-term customer, not a one-time sale. That means:

  • Upfront, easy‑to‑understand pricing on vehicles, protection plans, and service.
  • Product advisors who listen first, then match vehicles and payments to each driver’s needs.
  • Service teams who explain recommendations clearly and help customers plan maintenance around their budget and schedule.

Many team members have been with the group for years, creating a familiar, welcoming experience every time customers walk through the door.

Community and Team

The group is committed to being an active part of the communities it serves, supporting local events, charities, youth sports, and road-safety initiatives. The dealerships’ growth has also created career paths for local talent in sales, service, automotive service apprenticeships, parts, administration, and management.

Across every store, the goal is the same: build a team that reflects the community, stays current with changing automotive technology, and delivers service that keeps customers coming back for their next vehicle and their next service visit.

Looking Ahead

As the auto industry evolves with electrification, advanced safety technology, and connected services, Leavens Auto Group continues to invest in training, tools, and facilities to look after customers for the long term. With a focus on growth, integrity, and customer care, the group is committed to remaining a trusted partner for Ontario drivers for many years to come.
