At Broadmoor Motors Sales, we feel like we have a much bigger purpose than simply selling vehicles. We know that by serving people first we can seek to meet their needs even if it doesn’t end up with a purchase. We don’t sell perfect cars and we aren’t perfect people but we strive to do the best we can with our coworkers, customers, vendors and the community. We believe that when we’re in a position to help we have a responsibility to do so. Most importantly, these cannot just be words on a page, we must take action and have fun doing it!
In 1953, Grandpa Hank Koning began buying and selling cars in his neighborhood near Wealthy and Diamond Ave in Grand Rapids, MI. Later, he opened Koning Auto Sales on Wealthy St. His son Ken began detailing cars at a young age and fell in love with the business. In 1987, after working for years in the Grand Rapids area, Ken moved his business out to southeast Grand Rapids, and Broadmoor Motor Sales, Inc. was born.
Years later his son, Matt, began working full-time for the dealership. He soon realized there were many different ways to run a dealership and decided to take the same line his grandpa and dad took, helping people discover that buying cars didn’t have to be a game.
Buying a vehicle is a huge decision and simplifying it has been our goal since we started. Tricks and games almost seemed to be a standard practice in this business, and it’s our belief that doing good needs to be our foundation, not an afterthought. We believe this starts with our coworkers and moves outward. It’s our mission to prove that no matter what service we provide, we will put people first. It’s not a choice for us, treating people right is the only way to do business. In 2012, we opened Broadmoor Motors Hastings, and in 2017 we opened our Wayland location. In 2020, we opened our Middleville location, which became our headquarters in 2022. We believe that our company can continue to grow while empowering each other to serve a much larger purpose than ourselves.
