Joe Machens Serves All Drivers from Columbia, MO
Columbia is home base for Joe Machens, and the group's largest concentration of showrooms sits right here along Vandiver Drive, Worley Street, and Bernadette Drive. Columbia drivers can choose from Ford, Lincoln, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Volkswagen, Subaru, and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram without leaving town, a lineup built over more than five decades since the original dealership opened in 1969. That density means a Columbia shopper comparing a Honda CR-V against a Toyota RAV4 can do both in the same afternoon, something drivers in smaller Central Missouri towns often cannot do without a longer drive.

Where Columbia Drivers Bring Their Vehicle for Service
Each Columbia store services the brand it sells, so a Nissan owner works with technicians trained specifically on Nissan vehicles using genuine Nissan parts, and the same holds true across every other make in the group. Columbia drivers can schedule oil changes, tire service, and brake service at the store that matches their vehicle, and current service specials are listed separately from new vehicle promotions so service customers are not searching through sales offers. Parts for a home repair can be ordered directly through the group, and appointments at any Columbia location can be scheduled online.
Inside Columbia: What Locals Know
Columbia is best known as the home of the University of Missouri, which has anchored the city's identity and economy since 1839 as the first public university west of the Mississippi River. The city also hosts Stephens College and Columbia College, giving it an unusually large student population relative to its overall size and a downtown built around that academic calendar. The District, Columbia's downtown core, blends university life with local restaurants, bars, and shops, while the MKT Trail follows an old rail line along Hinkson Creek for runners and cyclists. Columbia's mix of higher education, healthcare, and insurance industry employment has made it one of the steadier economies in Central Missouri.
