Starling Chevrolet GMC
St Cloud, FL
838 Reviews
The Starling family has proudly served Central Florida’s automotive needs since 1948. It all began with Carroll Starling, who first worked in vehicle financing with Commercial Credit in Orlando, helping local dealers and customers alike. He later became the Chevrolet dealer in Kissimmee and also dedicated over a decade to public service as a Kissimmee City Commissioner. Carroll played a key role in Central Florida’s transformation, contributing to the early development of Walt Disney World.
In 1975, Carroll’s son, Alan Starling, took the helm at just 26 years old after returning from military service. As the region experienced rapid growth in the 1970s and ’80s, so did the Starling automotive enterprise. Alan continued the family tradition of community leadership, serving on the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and chairing the Economic Development Council. His influence extended nationally when he was elected Chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) in 2003.
Now, the third generation—Walker and Andrew Starling—carry forward the family’s legacy. They lead operations at Starling Chevrolet in Orlando and Starling Chevrolet GMC in St. Cloud, upholding the values of service, integrity, and community involvement that have defined the Starling name for more than 75 years.
