Goodyear's economic landscape is poised for a shake-up with the construction of a new Mitsubishi dealership under the auspices of Yates Buick GMC, a dealership familiar to Valley residents. As reported by ABC15, the Yates Mitsubishi dealership will be situated at the southwest corner of Test Drive and 137th Avenue, just south of Interstate 10 in Goodyear. This project promises to deliver a full-service facility featuring sales, service, and parts departments.
In a move that signals more than mere business growth, the dealership's commencement was marked by a ceremonial groundbreaking. Whitney Yates-Woods, dealer principal, emphasized the intention behind the expansion. "Our investment in Goodyear is more than just an expansion – it’s a commitment to the community," Whitney Yates-Woods told ABC15 in a statement. The new site is forecasted to add more than 75 jobs to the local economy upon its opening in early 2026.
Further details provided by AZ Big Media shed light on Yates Mitsubishi's comprehensive approach to customer service and automotive care. The dealership will carry Mitsubishi's latest models, including the 2025 Outlander PHEV, which offers improved fuel efficiency through a hybrid powertrain, and the 2025 Eclipse Cross, which marries contemporary design with cutting-edge safety features. Emphasizing affordability alongside a high level of quality, the dealership aims to cater to the region's growing automobile market needs.
The community-oriented dealership is building on solid traditions in line with its parent company. "This dealership will reflect the same values our family business was built on: integrity, service, and delivering unmatched value to our customers," Whitney Yates-Woods said, in a statement obtained by AZ Big Media. Yates Mitsubishi is betting on a range of vehicles that address the current demand for efficiency, and affordability, in a marketplace that's increasingly conscious of cost-effective motoring solutions.
The slated completion and opening of Yates Mitsubishi are set for January 2026. This marks a notable extension of the Yates family's business, which has been serving customers since 1984, and which now seeks to deepen its rapport with the Goodyear community through this significant new venture.
