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.

We had an excellent experience working with Fred Trinidad. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. What stood out most was th Trinidad. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. What stood out most was that he was never pushy or overly aggressive. He took the time to listen to what we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. Fred’s sales skills are truly top-notch. We came in that day with absolutely no intention of making a purchase, yet his knowledge, professionalism, and ability to understand our needs ultimately led us to make a significant purchase. He has a natural way of selling without making you feel like you’re being “sold,” which is a rare quality. We truly appreciate the time and effort Fred put into making our experience such a positive one. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, personable, and exceptional at what he does, we highly recommend working with Fred! More

I purchased my new 2027.

Jay Golston the dealerships Service Manager and his team were outstanding - they resolved the issue but did so with concern and expertise and customer care. From Brenda to Robert my technician to Jays leadership I’m good to go and finally enjoying my new car. As an outcome of the service I received at a dealership (I did not buy my car from) I will be taking my Stingray to Jay and the team - and will buy my next (new car) from this dealership More
