Charlie Obaugh Auto Group is a family-owned dealership that has been serving the Staunton area since 1976-nearly 50 years of trusted automotive service. Founded by Charles R. Obaugh Jr., the business started as a small Pontiac Buick GMC store and has grown to include Chevrolet, GMC, Kia, Mitsubishi, plus an RV and Outdoor Center. Today it's led by the second generation of the Obaugh family, Eric W. Obaugh, who continues the commitment to serving Staunton, Waynesboro, Augusta County, and the surrounding region with the same care and expertise that built the business from the start.
