FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC. (the Company) today announces the grand opening of its new service center in San Antonio, Texas, on Thursday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m. CT. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting event will feature several notable city, county and state officials and community leaders as speakers.
We are excited to celebrate the grand opening of our San Antonio Service Center, which expands our economic and employment presence in the state of Texas, said Dan Berce, President and CEO of GM Financial. Along with our parent company, General Motors, we are proud of our long history in the state, where together we employ more than 11,000 people, all committed to building and financing some of the best vehicles in the world.
GM Financial broke ground on its new 100,000-square-foot facility in April 2016. The center sits on 13.8 acres of land off of Raymond E. Stotzer Freeway at the intersection of Westover Link and North Ellison Drive.
In the short time it has been operational, this facility has already added more than 200 jobs in the region, with the ability to house up to 700 employees at maximum capacity. The center could also potentially drive more than $300 million in total economic output in the first 10 years of operation, according to analysis conducted by Impact DataSource.
As part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, GM Financial will also present Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio with two Cool Cars as part of its Cool Cars for Remarkable Kids program the 17th Ronald McDonald House to receive a vehicle since program launch earlier this year. Cool Cars for Remarkable Kids provides late-model SUVs to Ronald McDonald Houses across the country, allowing children and their families transportation support while staying at a House. To support this local effort, North Park Chevrolet Castroville has also agreed to sponsor service and maintenance for both Cool Cars in 2017-2018. Additionally, the dealership coordinated a supplies donation drive in support of the House, collecting much-needed wish list items for visiting families.
GM Financial plans to deliver approximately 30 vehicles nationwide in total through this program in 2017.
Families with sick children sometimes must travel long distances to access the best medical care for their children, and may not be able to bring or keep their personal vehicle with them for the duration of their stay with us, said Pat Bivin, Executive Director, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio. Through the support of GM Financial and their Cool Cars for Remarkable Kids program, our three Ronald McDonald Houses will be able to provide these families with necessities they would be unable to obtain on their own.
