About us

The Cavender Auto Group has been selling and servicing automobiles and trucks in San Antonio and South Texas for over 80 years. James M. Cavender Jr. started Cavender Oldsmobile in 1939. Over the next 30 years, Cavender Oldsmobile would become one of the top Olds dealerships in the country based on sales and customer satisfaction. With the help of his twin sons, Jimmy and Billy, James Cavender would acquire a Cadillac dealership in 1979. By the mid 1980’s the third generation of Cavender boys would enter the automobile business. Today the Cavender name is associated with 8 separate dealership facilities selling Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Land Rover, Ford and Nissan brands. The Slogan “Where the name Cavender is on the door, there is a Cavender on the floor.” certainly applies today. Each Cavender acts as not only the dealer, but general manager, and is always available to meet with customers and employees. When you buy from a Cavender dealership you are treated like family.

  • Last Friday, we hosted students from the UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business at Cavender Grande Ford. For many of them, it changed their perspective. Most people see a dealership as sales. What they do not see is the ecosystem behind it. Marketing. Operations. Finance. Service. Leadership. Technology. It takes a village to run a dealership, and even more to operate a group like Cavender Auto Group. We gave them a behind-the-scenes look, heard from leaders across our organization, shared a meal, and wrapped with an open Q and A. You could feel it, the moment things started to click. That is why this matters. The next generation of talent is not just looking for a job. They are looking for opportunity, growth, and purpose. #Leadership #Careers #SanAntonio #UTSA #Automotive #CavenderConfidence

  • Cavender Auto Group is proud to support one of San Antonio’s most meaningful traditions by sponsoring the official vehicles for the Rey Feo Royal Court during Fiesta 2026. Today, we had the honor of delivering their GMC Yukons—vehicles that will serve the Royal Court as they represent our city across parades, community events, and charitable initiatives throughout Fiesta. For generations, Fiesta has been more than a celebration; it’s a reflection of San Antonio’s culture, history, and commitment to giving back. The Rey Feo tradition, in particular, continues to make a lasting impact through its support of local children’s charities. At Cavender Auto Group, our mission is to deliver exceptional experiences to those we serve and we’re grateful to partner with organizations that share that same commitment to community. We wish the Royal Court a safe and successful Fiesta. ¡Viva Fiesta, San Antonio! #CavenderAutoGroup #FiestaSanAntonio #Community #Partnership #ConfidenceIsCavender Rob Cavender Lee Cavender Jonathan Gray Lisa Gener Dina Boley

  • International Women’s Day at Cavender Grande Ford Yesterday, we had the privilege of celebrating International Women’s Day at Cavender Grande Ford alongside an incredible community of women in automotive and business. From inspiring keynote speakers and an engaging Women in Automotive panel to meaningful conversations and connections during the social hour, the event was a powerful reminder of the leadership, talent, and impact women are making across every industry. At Cavender Auto Group, we believe delivering exceptional experiences to those we serve extends beyond the showroom. It includes creating spaces where leaders can connect, ideas can grow, and the next generation can be encouraged and equipped to lead. A sincere thank you to our speakers, panelists, vendors, sponsors, and every guest who joined us to make this event so special. It was an inspiring afternoon of connection, learning, and momentum with ambitious, like-minded women who are helping shape the future of our industries and our communities.

  • There’s a reason people choose San Antonio. It’s the culture. The community. The opportunity to build something meaningful, and build it here. Our first episode of Cavender Hometown Series features Jacksun, a local artist whose work is shaping spaces and creating connection across our city. Through his art, he’s not just creating visuals, he’s creating experiences that inspire, reflect, and bring people together. At Cavender Auto Group, our mission is simple: to deliver exceptional experiences to those we serve. We believe that mission extends beyond our showroom doors. It lives in the people, businesses, and creators who choose San Antonio and pour into it every day. The Hometown Series is our way of highlighting those individuals — the ones building culture, serving well, and making a lasting impact. ▶️ Watch Episode One of Cavender Hometown Series and Jacksun’s full story below.

  • Yesterday, we had the privilege of watching Bobby Cavender speak at The Frost Distinguished Lecture Series at UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business. Four generations. One family business. A legacy built in Texas. Mr. Cavender spoke on everything from hospitality to leadership, but what stood out most wasn’t the success. It was the perspective. When asked about leadership, he didn't hesitate: “Training. The next generation of leaders is critical.” And then he modeled it. For years, Mr. Cavender has been known for personally handing every customer his business card. An open line. Direct access. Accountability. Yesterday, as he finished his lecture, he did the same thing. He offered his business card to every student in the room. Think about that. A multi-generational business leader, still making himself accessible to the next generation. At Cavender Auto Group, the mission has never been just selling vehicles. It’s about developing people. It’s about investing in the next generation. It’s about building something that outlives a single transaction. Through Cavender Cares, corporate sponsorships, and military initiatives, the impact stretches far beyond the showroom. Another powerful reminder he shared: “If you’ve been given a lot, you need to give back.” That mindset is why the Cavender name carries weight not just in business, but in the San Antonio community and beyond. The Frost Distinguished Lecture Series brings prominent business and community leaders to UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business to share their knowledge and experiences with students and others at The University of Texas at San Antonio and the business community. And that’s what leadership is really about. Building people. Giving back. Creating impact that outlasts you. What’s one leadership principle that has shaped you most?
