BENNINGTON, Vt. — Mike Coggins, who you all may remember from his more than 20 years with the Haddad Auto Group in Berkshire County, acquired three dealerships in Bennington – Honda, Toyota, and Ford!

Coggins and his son Patrick have spent a lot of time becoming a part of the community, through outreach and their involvement in the day-to-day operations.

"We have been getting involved in the town, the community, and the area. You’ll see our faces out and about right alongside you, enjoying what Bennington has to offer, and becoming a part of that," Mike said. "We’ve been working on bringing that back to these great stores."

This emphasis on community has been a hallmark of Mike’s vision since he decided to make the investment in the stores, which encompass Bennington County, into Berkshire County, and nearby towns just over the border in New York.
