How We Began 

Our start took place 85 years ago, when Ferd Markley opened his Dodge-Plymouth dealership at 246 North College Ave. in Fort Collins. His sons, Gene and Bob, started working at the dealership after World War II and soon took over as the owners. In 1959, Markley's purchased a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership from Art Sheeley. The founder, Ferd Markley, passed away in 1960, and Gene and Bob consolidated the two operations in 1961 within greatly expanded facilities in most of the 200-block of North College. Bob Markley acquired a Volkswagen dealership in Greeley and sold his share of the partnership to Gene Markley.

Our grandiose history does not stop there. In 1968. Gene's son, Doug Markley, joined the business after graduating from Kansas University. In 1974, Honda awarded the sought-after Honda Automobile franchise to the Markley family. Many flocked to buy a Honda in Fort Collins, and the brand rapidly became one of the top-selling automobiles in Northern Colorado and — eventually — the United States. In March 1993, Markley Honda began a $1.2 million expansion project that tripled the size of the dealership's showroom while adding 10 mechanical service bays and 10 body shop stalls for a total of 25 service bays, 20 repair stalls, two prep stations, and three paint booths. In 2009, the entire Honda operation moved to 3401 South College Avenue, and the dealership underwent another renovation in 2010. Phases 1 and 2 of the new Fort Collins Honda showroom and internet building were completed on May 13, 2011. The interior and exterior of our new Honda building were reconstructed, and the parking lot was redesigned to help the needs of our growing customer base.
