ORLANDO, Fla. -

Payless Car Sales and Bob Dance Imports will officially debut the first dealers to sign on to the Payless Assurance certified pre-owned program when the newest Payless franchise holds a grand opening Monday just outside of Orlando, Fla.

In addition to being the first Payless Assurance participant, the new store in Sanford, Fla., will also be the first Payless dealership that will provide sales, service and rental all in the same store.

Scott Dance, of Bob Dance Imports, has four other Payless locations planned for the Orlando area. The Sanford store is the first to launch.

“I am thrilled that our Payless store is officially open for business,” noted Dance, who is the franchise owner and operating principal.

“Al Fishalow, our general manager here at Dance Automotive, and his staff of car business professionals have all the right pieces in place to make our Payless franchise successful,” he added. “We are eager to take care of the automotive sales, service and rental needs of our central Florida customers.”

Officials noted that Bob Dance Imports owns Hyundai and Kia dealerships throughout central Florida, and it has been the country’s top Hyundai and Kia CPO retailer for the past two years.

Sharing more about the dealership, the Payless Auto Service Center is already open, while the Payless Car Rental operation will open next month.
