At Burdick Automotive, our legacy is built on more than just cars - it's built on people. Our story began in 1937, when Grant and Glenn Burdick opened a small gas station on Route 11 in North Syracuse. Over four generations, that humble start has grown into a thriving automotive group representing some of the most respected brands in the industry, including Toyota, BMW, Lexus, and Ford.
Through the decades, our family's passion for automobiles has been matched only by our dedication to exceptional service, teamwork, and community. We've grown and adapted with the times, but our core values of integrity, hard work, and customer focus have remained constant.
At Burdick Automotive, you're not just taking a job - you're building a career in an environment that values your contributions, invests in your growth, and celebrates success together. With our continued expansion and commitment to excellence, there's never been a better time to join our team and help shape the next chapter of our story.
Be part of a legacy. Drive the future.
