On a recent evening at Jaguar Land Rover Bellevue, a dealership member of the Fields Auto Group, something remarkable happened. Local business leaders, neighbors, and community members gathered under the same roof were welcomed by a team whose philosophy centers not on transactions, but on relationships. The evening was hosted by Jaguar Land Rover Bellevue, and for those in attendance, it was a genuine introduction to a company that has quietly become one of the most trusted names in American luxury automotive retail.

Fields Auto Group was founded in 1971 when Earl Fields opened a single Cadillac dealership in Evanston, Illinois. What began as one family's entrepreneurial vision has grown into a nationally recognized group of 37 dealerships spanning Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, and North Carolina. Two generations of the Fields family remain directly involved in every aspect of the business. John Fields, son of the founder, is the CEO and his sons Dan and Ryan are as President and Chief Financial Officer.

The finest experiences are always shared ones.

Over the decades, Fields has cultivated relationships with some of the most prestigious automotive brands in the world; BMW, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Land Rover, McLaren and Jaguar among them. Their early commitment to BMW, when the brand was still largely unknown in the United States back in 1976, speaks to a visionary approach that has defined their growth ever since. Nearly 20 luxury and ultra-luxury brands now fall under the Fields umbrella, a testament not just to scale, but to the trust manufacturers place in a group known for exceeding expectations at every turn.

Their Bellevue showroom, home to our recent networking evening, reflects that standard. Refined surroundings, a carefully curated vehicle lineup, and a service culture closer to a private members' lounge than a traditional dealership create an atmosphere where clients feel genuinely valued from the moment they arrive. It is exactly the kind of environment Fields has built its reputation on for more than fifty years.

Perhaps the most telling thing about Fields Auto Group is what drives their community involvement. The family's philanthropic philosophy was instilled by the family matriarch and has never wavered: giving back to the cities where they operate is a core obligation, not an afterthought. Their support of nonprofits and healthcare organizations across Chicago, Orlando, and beyond reflects a genuine commitment to the communities they serve.

The networking evening hosted for our Stroll and Greet sponsors was not a sales event. It was a gathering that helped bring local voices together. For our sponsors, it was a meaningful opportunity to connect in a space that felt personal and considered. For Fields, it was simply what they do.

For residents here in the Pacific Northwest, the presence of Fields Auto Group in Bellevue is something worth knowing about. Under General Manager Eric Washington, a Madison Park resident, the team has taken on a local identity that goes well beyond car sales and service.  Stop by one of the Fields dealerships in the Seattle area and experience the difference!
