Step One Automotive Group in Fort Walton Beach has teamed up with the Building Industry Association of Okaloosa and Walton Counties (BIA) to offer a new vehicle discount program for BIA members and their immediate families. 

  • The program, which extends to both fleet and non-fleet vehicles, is available at all Step One Automotive Group locations and covers a wide range of makes and models.

According to Olga Boistean of Step One Automotive Group, the idea for the program came about as a way to support local blue-collar workers. “We wanted to do something special for our building industry members because they are working hard every day and are in need of transportation,” Boistean said. “Through Step One, we’ll offer them special pricing on the vehicles, not just for the fleet vehicles, but also for their immediate family members.”

Jason Carducci, current BIA President, emphasized the importance of this collaboration. “Our association is moving to more member-on-member business. Promoting this discount to our members, in collaboration with a current member, just adds value to our association and the importance of our members getting involved to help promote that value,” Carducci said.

The discount program offers a breakdown per brand, with some exclusions for limited edition models. BIA members can contact two designated fleet sales representatives to simplify the process and receive assistance with their purchases. 

  • When it comes to non-fleet vehicles for family members, they can provide their BIA member number at any Step One Automotive Group dealership to receive the discount, along with all available rebates.

Carducci highlighted the significance of Step One Automotive Group’s support for the construction industry. “They understand blue collar work and the labor issues that we’re having across the blue-collar industry, from mechanics to tradesmen, to service reps, to anybody that works with their hands,” he said. “So for them to come out and do this, it’s huge!”

The discount program is not limited to the Okaloosa Walton County Building Industry Association. As long as an individual is a member of any local building industry association affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders, they can take advantage of the discount at any Step One Automotive Group dealership location.

For more information on the specific discounts available, BIA members can contact their local association or the designated fleet sales representatives at Step One Automotive Group.
