Moving Lives Forward in More Ways than One
About CMA Volvo of Charlottesville
CMA’s Volvo Cars of Charlottesville has been a part of Carter Myers Automotive (CMA) since 2004. Since the beginning, Volvo has been a good fit for CMA. A mutual focus on quality products, safety, customer satisfaction, and sustainable business practices have been foundations for this relationship.
In 2019, Volvo Cars of Charlottesville moved from an Ivy Road location to a state-of-the-art facility on Berkmar Drive. The move from a leased property to one that is owned and controlled by CMA offered several opportunities for significant investment in reducing our carbon footprint. Investments included full LED lighting inside and out, solar power installation, a rooftop rain garden,, and best practices for stormwater management in the parking lot.
Carter Myers Automotive is a company that makes every decision around how we can move lives forward in a positive direction-- for our associates, our customers, and our community. The Green Business Alliance was a natural fit on how we can move more lives forward.
