Jack Hanania Buick GMC is a proud member of the Hanania Automotive Group. A Jacksonville, Florida native, Jack Hanania attended Wolfson High School and Jacksonville College before beginning his automotive career as a salesman in 1983. By the following year, Jack had quickly advanced to become one of the youngest managers in the business at age 25. After working in the automotive industry for 18 years, Jack purchased his first dealership and founded Hanania Automotive Group. Today, Hanania Automotive Group is a leader in Northeast Florida auto sales and has grown to include a collision center and seventeen brand franchises. Each dealership offers new and used models as well as vehicle maintenance services. The Hanania Automotive Group has also been listed as the Jacksonville Business Journals’ Number 1 Volume Dealer in North Florida for three consecutive years. With continued growth in sight, the auto group ventured out of the Jacksonville market, opening dealerships in Estero, Florida; Miami, Florida, Chattanooga, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jack and his wife Debbie have two sons, Jack Jr. and Mark. The Hanania family are all active members in the local community. Jack is a member of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and the Jacksonville Civic Council, where he advises the mayor on various city matters. Jack was a previous board member of the YMCA and currently serves as an executive board member of the Within Reach Foundation and supports local and national charities, including the Mayo Clinic, Wolfson Children's Hospital, K9s for Warriors, American Cancer Society, Cystic Fibrosis, Dreams Come True, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, United Service Organization, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Blue Angels, Catholic Charities, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Nemours Children's Hospital, Concert on the Green, and River Garden just to name a few. Jack has also helped raise over 10 million dollars for the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. In continuing to preserve the heritage and history of Jacksonville, Jack purchased the Dyal-Up Church in 2017 and Title & Trust Company of Florida Building in 2020. Hanania is the official Automotive Partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. As the Jaguars celebrated their 25-year anniversary and the NFL celebrated their 100-year anniversary during the Jaguars v. Saints game in October 2019, Jack served as Honorary Captain and was recognized alongside the first player to be drafted by the Jaguars. Jack believes that the community is the cornerstone of his business and giving back is paramount.

Electrical Damage While in Dealership’s Care Husband brought his Camaro to Jack Hanania Chevrolet Service Department on 11/22 for a routine oil change. During that visit, an oil leak was identified at the timing chain cover, and he left the vehicle with the dealership just before Thanksgiving for repairs. The vehicle was fully operational and free of electrical or audio issues when it was placed in the dealership’s custody. In December, He was contacted and told the battery was “dead” and would not take a charge—despite the fact that the battery had been brand new and installed on 11/24. He returned the battery to the place of purchase and received a replacement. The dealership installed the replacement battery and advised the vehicle was ready for pickup. Immediately upon starting the vehicle in the dealership parking lot, He noticed the radio was not functioning, despite working properly when the vehicle was dropped off. When he returned to the service department, staff and the technician admitted that while attempting to charge the vehicle, the amplifier in the trunk began smoking. He was further informed that fuses had been removed and left in my cup holder without my knowledge or authorization, and that management instructed the technician to stop work because the equipment was aftermarket. As a direct result of this incident, his vehicle sustained significant electrical and audio damage, including: Two fried amplifiers Two blown subwoofers Two blown factory Bose speakers Loss of OnStar audio and Wi-Fi Vehicle audio system no longer fully functional He had the vehicle inspected by two independent repair facilities, both of which confirmed that the damage was consistent with improper electrical handling while the vehicle was under the dealership’s exclusive control. Under Florida law, automotive service providers owe consumers a duty of reasonable care and must return vehicles in substantially the same condition in which they were received, excluding authorized repairs. The damage to his vehicle occurred while in the dealership’s possession, and he was not informed of, nor did he consent to, the actions that caused this damage. This matter also raises concerns under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) regarding the dealership’s handling of the repair, lack of disclosure, and failure to take responsibility for damage caused during service. This situation is especially disappointing because my family has purchased five vehicles from Jack Hanania dealerships, and we had previously stopped using this Chevrolet service department due to damage done to another Camaro purchased from them. Mistakes can happen—but accountability, disclosure, and consumer protection matter. The lack of care, communication, and responsibility shown in this case is unacceptable. I would not trust any of Jack Hanania Dealerships service departments with any vehicle, particularly one with modern electronics.
