POMG — Peace of Mind Guaranteed. It's four letters that have meant everything to the Gelfand family for more than sixty years. Alan's father coined the phrase in the 1960s as a simple statement of belief: when a customer trusts you with something they depend on, your job is to give it back to them better, with no anxiety about what they paid, what was done, or whether it was done right.


He had it printed on every shirt, every pen, and every sticker. He instilled it in Alan and his siblings from an early age — not as a slogan, but as a daily standard to be held to. "We take care of our customers because they take care of us." It was never marketing. It was how the family operated.


When Alan Gelfand opened German Car Depot in 1992, he brought that standard with him. More than 30 years later, POMG still shapes how every vehicle is diagnosed, every estimate is written, and every repair is delivered. It's why we tell you what can wait instead of padding a bill. It's why we back our work with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty. It's why we offer free rideshare and loaners — because your peace of mind doesn't end at the service counter.

German Car Depot has been family-owned and operated in Hollywood, FL since 1992. Alan Gelfand continues to oversee operations personally — because to him, POMG isn't a motto you hang on the wall. It's a promise you keep every single day.

OUR PROMISE

A Family Commitment That's Been Earned Since the 1960s
