History of the Dealership
Formerly known as Fred Martin of Youngstown, our dealership has served the greater Youngstown area for over half a century. We started our journey 52 years ago as a Ford dealership, intending to make the car ownership experience more seamless for drivers in Youngstown and surrounding areas. In 1986, we expanded our offerings to include Mercedes-Benz models to meet the region’s growing demand for luxury vehicles.
Since then, we’ve earned the trust of our clients thanks to our expansive inventory of new and preowned Mercedes models, transparent pricing, and customer-centered approach to sales. More recently, in January 2025, our dual Mercedes-Benz dealership was acquired by #1 Cochran Automotive, a leading regional dealership chain. This acquisition adds to the group’s presence in the Mahoning Valley area of Ohio.
About #1 Cochran
#1 Cochran has a long and colorful history dating back to 1965 when it was established as a single-point Pontiac dealer. Since then, it has rapidly become the leading automotive dealer in Western Pennsylvania and is expanding its operations and service area to Eastern Ohio.
The family-owned franchise currently has over 38 vehicle franchises in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio and is ranked the 39th largest dealership group in the U.S. Among the brands represented in #1 Cochran’s dealerships are Chevrolet, Jeep, Ram, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, and Volkswagen. With the recent acquisition of Fred Martin Ford and Mercedes-Benz, #1 Cochran now has its first Mercedes-Benz store in Youngstown.
Besides offering a vast selection of models from leading automotive brands, #1 Cochran has earned customers’ trust throughout the Mahoning Valley area for its first-class customer experience. Its “Clearly Better Car Buying” ethos provides clear-cut pricing on every vehicle, ensuring you get the best possible deal up front without haggling the price.
