Former Hennessy Honda of Woodstock location continues serving the Highway 92 corridor in Cherokee County customers under the Group 1 Honda Woodstock name

ATLANTA, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In a strategic move to unify its extensive network of dealerships, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Houston-based automotive retailer with dealerships across the U.S. and U.K., announced that Hennessy Honda of Woodstock has been renamed Group 1 Honda Woodstock, following the company’s acquisition of Hennessy Automobile Companies’ Atlanta-market dealerships, which closed Oct. 19, 2026.

Cherokee County has grown quickly over the past decade, and the Highway 92 Honda store has grown with it; the rename reflects a change in ownership rather than a change in the store’s footprint, staff, or inventory mix.

Backed by the scale, resources, and expertise of an international automotive retailer, Group 1 Automotive remains focused on delivering the personalized service and community connections that define the local dealership experience. Learn more at Group1Auto.com.

Better Customer Experience

Group 1 Honda Woodstock replaces Hennessy’s name on the building as part of Group 1’s broader naming structure. Ownership is changing; the people, the product lineup, and the day-to-day running of the store are not.

The new name connects a fast-growing exurban Atlanta market to Group 1’s national platform, giving Cherokee County customers access to the same resources and technology Group 1 applies at its other Honda stores.

“Cherokee County keeps growing, and we’ve grown with it for years,” said Billy Shape, General Manager of Group 1 Honda Woodstock. “Group 1 gives us a partner that can keep pace with that growth instead of us doing it alone. All the same people are here to take great care of all of our loyal customers that have helped us grow along the way.”

Group 1 Honda Woodstock continues to serve customers from its existing location at 8931 Highway 92, Woodstock, GA 30189, supporting customers throughout the Highway 92 corridor in Cherokee County with new Honda vehicles, pre-owned vehicles, certified service, parts, and maintenance support.

The dealership’s team remains in place as the location becomes part of Group 1’s broader retail network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Hennessy Honda of Woodstock change its name to Group 1 Honda Woodstock?

Hennessy Honda of Woodstock became Group 1 Honda Woodstock as part of Group 1 Automotive’s effort to create a clearer, more consistent naming structure following its acquisition of Hennessy Automobile Companies. The new name reflects the dealership’s connection to Group 1 while continuing to serve customers in the Highway 92 corridor in Cherokee County. As part of the Group 1 network, which includes 256 dealerships offering 38 vehicle brands, the dealership connects customers to new and pre-owned sales, financing, service, parts, and collision support.

What are the benefits of a certified pre-owned Honda?

Certified pre-owned (CPO) Honda vehicles undergo a multi-point inspection and reconditioning process and include limited warranty coverage beyond a standard used vehicle, along with roadside assistance in most cases.

What’s different between the 2025 and 2026 Honda Civic?

Honda typically carries over the core design and platform between close model years, with changes concentrated in trim availability, technology features, and standard equipment. Shoppers comparing the 2025 and 2026 Civic should ask the sales team for a trim-by-trim rundown, since specific updates vary by configuration.

How do the Honda Pilot and Passport compare?

The Pilot is Honda’s three-row SUV built around family hauling and passenger space, while the Passport is a two-row model with a shorter wheelbase and a sportier, more off-road-oriented stance. Shoppers choosing between them typically weigh seating capacity against the Passport’s more compact footprint.

How can shoppers check if a vehicle has an open recall?

Vehicle owners can look up open recalls for free using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s VIN lookup tool at nhtsa.gov, or by contacting the dealership’s service department directly with the vehicle’s VIN.
