Lancaster County Motors has been a family owned business since 1935. The first car sold by Lancaster County Motors over 75 years ago and the business has continued to grow serving Lancaster County and the surrounding communities. In 1957, Lancaster County Motors was awarded the Mercedes-Benz franchise, making Mercedes-Benz of Lancaster the oldest Mercedes-Benz dealership in Pennsylvania.

In 1980, Lancaster County Motors, Inc., moved to its current location on the Manheim Pike in East Petersburg, PA where they conducted business as a Mercedes Benz and Subaru dealership.

As Lancaster County Motors grew, there became a need to expand the dealership facilities. In 2001 they built an exclusive  facility for their Mercedes Benz franchise at 1550 Commerce Drive and began conducting business there as Mercedes-Benz of Lancaster. Most recently, Mercedes-Benz of Lancaster was named "Best of the Best" and received an award honoring top MB dealers in customer satisfaction, sales increases, facilities, and much more.

With the separation and relocation of the Mercedes Benz franchise, the buildings that housed the Subaru franchise were ready for an upgrade. In January 2003 renovations were done at the 5260 Main Street location and they became a Signature Subaru facility and achieved the "Stellar Performer" award. This was an extensive program where procedures and processes were developed for customer satisfaction and retention.

 In 1998, Lancaster County Motors acquired the Quarryville Chrysler Plymouth Dodge dealership in Quarryville PA. In 1999 they built an exclusive Chrysler facility located at 804 Lancaster Pike Quarryville, PA. At that time they were awarded the Jeep franchise and the business was renamed, Providence Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep. In January 2003 they acquired Wenger Pontiac GMC. In March of 2005 a new exclusive facility for the Pontiac GMC franchises was built at 796 Lancaster Pike Quarryville, PA and the business was relocated adjacent to the Chrysler facility. Currently, they are operating as Providence Autos, representing Chrysler, Dodge, Ram , Jeep and GMC franchises located at 804 Lancaster Pike in Quarryville, PA. 

On September 1, 2005, the Hyundai and Kia franchises were added to the corporation. The Subaru franchise was moved to a Super Store location at 1705 Manheim Pike in Lancaster, PA. The Hyundai store is located at 5260 Main Street, taking the place of the old Subaru building, and the Kia store is located at 5250 Main Street East Petersburg, PA.

Lancaster County Motors, Inc. has just completed a brand new Mercedes Benz facility on the Manheim Pike in East Petersburg, PA. The new location incorporates all the facility initiatives mandated by Mercedes-Benz USA. The new site is located at 5100 Main Street in East Petersburg, PA. 

As a business, Lancaster County Motors has continued to grow and support the local community through job opportunities, and by involvement in organizations such as the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Fulton Theater, American Heart Association, March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, and local High School Sports.
