The Texas-based Sewell Automotive Companies opened its first dealership in the Greater Austin area July 31 at 13910 N. RM 620, Austin. The family-owned company acquired Jaguar Land Rover North Austin, which opened in March under Park Place Dealerships. The newly constructed 70,000-square-foot dealership features a glass-enclosed showroom, a three-lane service drive, a service shop and more. Sewell, which has existed since 1911, now operates 17 full-service dealerships across Texas.

“We are so fortunate to have been serving Texas for over 100 years and we are proud to now serve Austin," CEO Carl Sewell said in a press release.

The dealership is now open for sales Monday through Saturday. 737-255-4100. www.sewell.com
