Honda Auto Center of Bellevue reopens dealership, celebrates 45+ years of service

Bellevue Chamber  |  May 27, 2026

For more than four decades, Honda Auto Center of Bellevue has proudly served the Bellevue community with integrity, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Since opening their doors in 1979, the team has been honored to be the #1 volume Honda dealer in Washington State for the past 45 years — a milestone made possible by the trust and loyalty of their customers and community.

Today, they are excited to share a new chapter in their story.

After a year of transformation, the business is thrilled to announce the Grand Re-Opening of Honda Auto Center of Bellevue. They welcome the community back into a completely reimagined dealership, designed to deliver an elevated showroom experience, a more efficient and comfortable service environment, and a faster, easier, and more rewarding ownership journey from start to finish.

From the very beginning, founders Al and Linda Courter envisioned building a market-leading dealership grounded in strong values. Their philosophy was simple, yet powerful: Deliver true value, and if something isn’t right, “We will make it right.” That principle continues to guide everything they do today.

Al believed that running a business with integrity, guided by strong moral principles and a deep respect for others, was the foundation for lasting success. Around the family dinner table, conversations often centered on the importance of community, ethical leadership, and building a business people could trust and look up to.

Today, Al’s children — Jason Courter, Kelly Hudgins, and Carrie Blanton — carry that vision forward, continuing to foster a culture rooted in family, respect, and responsibility to the community they feel privileged to serve.

As a family-run business, they take great pride in the team members who have built their careers there, and their loyalty, passion, and commitment have shaped the culture that defines Honda Auto Center of Bellevue — a culture grounded in the values of Family, Business, and Community.

Giving back has always been a cornerstone of who they are, and that commitment remains stronger than ever. They believe that when we invest in our community, we all grow stronger together.

So, the team invites you to visit them, experience the newly renovated dealership, and see firsthand what the future of Honda Auto Center of Bellevue looks like. While the facilities may be new, their commitment to you remains the same: Delivering exceptional service, transparency, and care … every visit, every time.
