Luxury auto dealer C.J. Wilson’s dealership at Herndon and Palm avenues in Fresno no longer includes the German brand Audi.
However, the former Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher will continue to feature Porsche and BMW there, as well as when he moves to a sparkling new facility at Herndon and Clovis avenues in Clovis.
“Going forward we are only Porsche/BMW,” Wilson told GV Wire. “They’re the best brands, the best products and the best return on investment. BMW has better-priced cars in the same segment, better performance, and Porsche is a huge cut above every other brand from quality and performance standpoints.”
While the service center will work on any car, it no longer will do warranty work on Audi. The next closest official Audi dealer is in Modesto. Email requests for comment sent to Audi were not returned before publication of this story.
Extra Space Allows for Additional Projects: Wilson
Wilson and his team broke ground on the 15-acre campus at the southwest corner of Clovis and Herndon in May.
Wilson told GV Wire earlier the larger location would allow for bigger service centers and room for more cars.
“Our project in Clovis now has some extra land so we are going to build some other projects with the land that would have been the Audi facility,” Wilson told GV Wire.
He did not say what other projects he will be bringing. Earlier projections estimate a 2026 opening for the new facility.
