Phil Long’s history began in 1945 with Mr. Phil Long, a U.S. Navy WWII hero dedicated to protecting the rights, freedoms and values of his fellow Americans. The auto group started with one Ford dealership in Colorado Springs and has grown under President and CEO Jay Cimino to include 18 locations throughout Glenwood Springs, Denver, Colorado Springs, Trinidad and Raton, New Mexico, with more than 1,200 employees.

Mr. Long’s commitment to his country and community is a brand Phil Long Dealerships has lived up to for 77 years. Mr. Cimino founded three nonprofits, one of them being the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center to support military members and their families.

Phil Long Dealerships is known throughout Colorado and the nation as a respected dealership group with philanthropy at its heart. Previously voted Gold for The Gazette’s 2021 Best of the Springs awards, Phil Long Dealerships is proud to be a 2022 Best Workplace.
