Car dealer consolidates lots and eliminates eye sore
If you regularly drive Woodville Road in Oregon you've noticed the transformation of a long-time eye sore into the new home of Nationwide Auto Finance.

Al Tawil, an Oregon resident, has invested $300,000 into the building and parking lot at the site that once housed Andy Handy and more recently the Boomtown Flea Market. Tawil plans this November to open the area's largest used-car lot on the site consolidating his three existing locations. Nationwide operates two used car lots on Woodville Road and a storage and repair facility at 2160 Oakdale. All are in East Toledo. Tawil estimates he will have some 500 cars on display once he becomes established at the new location.

Tawil has installed a new roof, tucked and repainted the exterior, added landscaping and repaved the parking lot. The building has 95,000 square feet and will house a garage to detail and mechanically prepare cars for sale, an office area and space that Tawil hopes to rent to auto-related businesses such as insurance agents and after-market parts specialists.

The company will have 12 to 13 employees.
