About The Company
Following his father’s footsteps as a “rising star,” Ted Jones had a clear vision of the expansion direction he wanted his business to venture to. In 1991, Jones purchased a bankrupt luxury auto dealership in the affluent community of Newport Beach, setting his plan in motion to create one of the nation’s largest Mercedes-Benz centers. After completing construction and fine-tuning the operation to run like a Swiss watch, he has applied the same business principles to the growing 18 dealerships that make up the Fletcher Jones Fine Family of Dealerships, today. The strength of our team comes from respecting our differences and our mutual trust. At Fletcher Jones, we set the standard by consistently producing outstanding results through a commitment to continuous and never-ending improvement. That is why we pursue dynamic change and drive it by encouraging creativity and individual initiative.
