About our Dealership

Since 1938 and with over 75 years of success, Team Gillman has been a family-owned and operated group of automobile dealerships.

The business was founded by Frank Gillman when the first dealership opened on Milam Street in downtown Houston. Frank’s son, Ramsay Gillman, continued and expanded the business his father started with a constant emphasis on customer service and satisfaction.

Now, owned and operated by Ramsay’s son Chris Gillman, Team Gillman has dealerships in Houston, Rosenberg and Clear Lake representing Acura, Honda, Subaru and Mazda.

Success has not altered the organization’s founding principle. Every employee in every Team Gillman dealership knows customer service is paramount.

And, they understand continued prosperity, as well as future growth, depends upon maintaining this long-established tradition of excellence.
