DeLuca Toyota, founded in October 1978 by Frank DeLuca, recently celebrated its 45th anniversary.
The dealership, located at 1719 SW College Road, Ocala, started as a modest two-car showroom but has grown significantly over the years.

Now, DeLuca Toyota encompasses a 24-acre facility with a 51-bay service center, on-site collision center, hair and nail salon, rooftop putting green and other amenities. The dealership team has grown to 186 members.
“We have served three generations of families since 1978. The DeLuca difference means treating everyone as an honored guest in our home; you’ll notice that difference the moment you walk through our doors,” DeLuca noted in the release.

“Giving back to the community is not only a privilege but a responsibility. When you look beyond yourself to meet someone else’s needs, that’s where philanthropy starts. Giving back not only feels good but is the right thing to do,” DeLuca said in the release.
“Frank is a perfect representation of the Toyota brand. He takes care of his customers, gives back to his community, and has been a fantastic dealer for the last 45 years. We are proud that he represents the Toyota brand in Ocala, Florida,” Brent Sergot, president of Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC, and executive VP of JM Family Enterprises, said in the release.
