About The Company
In a time when it can be difficult to tell car dealers apart, #1 Cochran stands head and shoulders above the rest. Not because we’re the largest dealer group in the region, but because we’re the best in all the ways that matter to our customers & Team Members. With 38+ new vehicle franchises operating from 32 showrooms throughout Western Pennsylvania & Eastern Ohio, along with 12 Collision and Customization Centers, we proudly provide the unparalleled value and selection that generations of car buyers have come to expect from us. Yet we’re committed to constantly finding new ways to rise above and beyond those expectations. We do this because we believe buying a vehicle is more than just a transaction. It’s an experience that begins long before you walk into one of our showrooms and a relationship that lasts long after you leave. This philosophy, and feedback from consumers on what the perfect car buying experience should be, led Rob Cochran to develop Clearly Better Car Buying. It’s been called the most innovative change in the regional auto landscape in decades and continues to win over customers in waves. As the only auto retailer to be named a Pittsburgh Top Workplace every year since the award’s inception, we proudly employ more than 1800 team members. Whether you buy from us or work with us, our #1 goal is to make sure that your experience is stellar from start to finish. So take #1 Cochran for a spin; you’ll be amazed how far we go for you.
