FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TommyCar Auto Group Announces Closure of Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley, Continues Service at Northampton Volkswagen

Northampton, MA — TommyCar Auto Group has announced the closure of its Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley location in Northampton after many years of dedicated service to customers throughout the Pioneer Valley and beyond.

While the location is closing, the company’s commitment to its customers and community remains strong. Many of the familiar faces from Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley will continue serving customers at Northampton Volkswagen, just around the corner at 361 King Street.

“While we are heartbroken to close this location, our commitment to our customers and our community remains as strong as ever,” said Carla Cosenzi, President of TommyCar Auto Group.

“The same great team and service you know will be just around the corner at our Northampton Volkswagen location.”

Customers can continue to rely on the factory-trained technicians they’ve come to trust, now operating out of Northampton Volkswagen. Sales, service, and pre-owned inventory support will continue seamlessly, ensuring that Volvo owners and local drivers are still cared for with the same attention and expertise.

The closure follows a recent zoning amendment—prompted by a citizens’ petition led by resident Benjamin Spencer—which prohibits future auto dealerships in Northampton’s Central Business-Gateway district. The City’s decision to support this initiative blocked the path for development of the proposed new dealership facility and adjacent commercial plans for the property. Despite significant investment and planning already underway, the change made it no longer feasible to move forward.

Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley had recently relocated from South Deerfield to Northampton—a move meant to contribute positively to the local economy by creating jobs, increasing tax revenue, and boosting customer traffic in the city. The proposed new facility would have created 40 new jobs and reserved over 3 acres of the site for additional commercial development. With the zoning change now in place, the property remains vacant—stalling both job creation and potential business growth in Northampton.

“We are incredibly grateful to our customers for their loyalty and trust over the years,” Cosenzi added. “It’s been an honor to serve this community, and we look forward to continuing that relationship—just around the corner.”
