From Beach Drives to Daily Commutes

At Suncoast Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our story is one of leadership, innovation, and family.

Founded in 1975 by Wayne F. Schmidt Sr., Suncoast quickly became a standout in the automotive world. His commitment to excellence earned national recognition, including the prestigious Walter P. Chrysler Award, and placed him among industry leaders working alongside icons like Lee Iacocca.

But what truly defines Suncoast isn’t just awards, it’s continuity. Today, three generations of the Schmidt family continue to lead the dealership, carrying forward the same values of integrity, transparency, and customer care that built its foundation. That legacy shows up in every part of the experience.

From helping you explore vehicles like the versatile Jeep Grand Cherokee or the dependable Ram 1500, to ensuring your vehicle stays in peak condition through expert service, our team is committed to delivering consistency you can rely on. We’ve also invested in the future, through multiple facility renovations designed to create a more comfortable, efficient, and modern experience for our customers. Because while our history matters, what matters more is how we continue to serve you today.

At Suncoast CJD, legacy isn’t something we talk about.

It’s something you experience.
