Why Buy From Putnam Automotive

Since 1965, when Joe Putnam opened his first Buick Dealership in Burlingame, CA, the Putnam family name has been the most trusted staple in Northern California. As the group has grown from one dealership to 13 including: Putnam Subaru, Putnam Mazda, Putnam Toyota, Putnam Ford, Putnam Chevy, Putnam Cadillac, Putnam GMC, Putnam CJDR, Putnam Kia, Honda San Carlos, Volvo Cars Burlingame, Volkswagen of Oakland, and Putnam Lexus the name remains synonymous with excellence over the years.  With so many brands, we are confident you will find the vehicle that suits your needs.
