Welcome to our website! Pohanka CDJR of Salisbury is a relatively new dealership, however, our family-owned business has been in operation since 1919! You could say we’ve been selling cars since there were cars to sell.

The Pohanka Automotive Group is one of the oldest automobile dealerships in the nation. Frank S. Pohanka was born in the Bronx in New York City. He ran away from home in his eighth-grade year and found a job on a horse farm on Long Island. It wasn't long before this stable boy became a successful jockey, racing horses throughout North America. Eventually, he could not 'keep weight' and then was faced with what to do with the rest of his life.

Frank was mechanically inclined and went back to New York City, where he read every book on automobiles in the city library. He became a car mechanic and eventually was hired by General Motors as a service rep. GM transferred him to a factory-owned Chevrolet dealership located in downtown Washington DC.

In 1919 Frank Pohanka opened his first dealership at Ward Place, in N.W. Washington DC, where he sold and serviced Chevrolets. He quickly established a reputation as a master mechanic and service consultant, and for thirty years called his company" Pohanka Service" to emphasize that fact.

In 1923 Frank Pohanka moved his dealership to 1126 20th Street, N.W., and became an Oldsmobile dealer. He converted a movie theater into a three-car showroom and converted a Civil War-era livery stable into a repair shop. After his death in 1958, his son, John Pohanka, became the dealer, and in 1967 relocated the dealership to the suburbs in Marlow Heights, MD. He soon started acquiring more franchises and locations.

Today, the Pohanka Automotive Group has locations in Capitol Heights, Maryland; Salisbury, Maryland; Chantilly, Virginia; Fredericksburg, Virginia; Stafford, Virginia, and Tomball, TX. We sell nine makes of vehicles, including Honda, Lexus, Acura, Hyundai, Nissan, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Volkswagen, and employ over 1,400 people.

Our Chairman, John Pohanka, is a former President of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). He was a founder and chairman of the National Institute for Service Excellence (ASE), which tests and certifies auto technicians nationally. He also founded and was the first chairman of the National Automobile Technicians Education Foundation, which evaluates and certifies automotive curricula in the country's vocational schools.

Since 1919, four generations of the Pohanka family and our associates have provided our loyal customers a variety of easy ways to meet their transportation needs, including a wide selection of new and used cars; multiple innovative methods and sources of financing; advanced training and equipment in our service departments; state-of-art repair processes in our collision centers; and friendly, well-trained and professional personnel in all our locations.

The Pohanka Automotive Group has won many awards including the Time Magazine National Quality Dealer Award, the Sports Illustrated AIADA All-Star Dealer Award for outstanding customer service, commitment to the industry, the community, and the nation; and the Distinguished Service Citation from the Automotive Hall of Fame. Pohanka is the only dealership group to have received all three of these awards. We look forward to serving all your automotive needs.

The service representative who helped me this last visit was amazing! She fixed all my issues, and my Jeep was in and out (for my oil change/tire rotation) in less than an hour despite them being so busy! Very thankful!

I called Pohanka Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Salisbury and discovered that you do not need an appointment for an oil change. The following day, I went. My oil change and tire rotation was completed within a short period of time, at a very reasonable price. The employees were friendly, polite and knowledgable. I will definitely return to Pohanka Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Salisbury, for my vehicles next service requirement.

Highly recommend

Tire rotation and balance was great. My truck rides as smooth as it did when I bought it. The multi point inspection must have found something as well since my engine seems to be running smoother as well.

Purchasing our most recent vehicle from Pohanka was the best experience my husband and I have ever had with a car dealership.

Purchasing our most recent vehicle from Pohanka was the best experience my husband and I have ever had with a car dealership. Our salesman, Rick Shores, was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He provided customer service far above our expectations. We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the entire experience. Every employee that we came into contact with shared the same kindness and provided excellent customer service. We will be recommending Pohanka to others!

Tremendous experience from start to finish. Had been looking for a Wrangler for quite some time but decided to go with Pohanka due to their companies history and commitment to customer satisfaction. I was absolutely not disappointed. My sales person Rick was very attentive, the sales manager Jeff was accommodating and appreciative of my business, the finance manager Tara thoroughly explained all the available coverages (which I took advantage of), and the GM Ryan was a true professional. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the market.

All the staff superb!!!!

This was a quite pleasant experience. Had to bring our van in for a recall. Made an appointment about 4 days in advance with a nice man who knew what we needed and gave us the first time slot at 8. Brought the van in on the scheduled day and the woman who checked us in had all our information on hand and made it quick and easy. It took about an hour and twenty minutes to complete the work which was expected. I will say the tech who worked on our van was very careful to keep it clean and it came back to us as clean as it went in. Overall we were extremely happy with the dealership and all the people we interacted with. We recommend Pohanka to anyone needing service from a quality team of people. Thanks.
