Fitzgerald Auto Malls Named Montgomery County’s First Certified Green Dealer, Earns Gold-Level Certification from Bethesda Green

ROCKVILLE, MD – August 2026 – Fitzgerald Auto Malls announced today that it has earned Gold-level certification through the Montgomery County Green Business Certification Program, administered by Bethesda Green in partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection. With this recognition, Fitzgerald becomes Montgomery County’s first certified Green Dealer.

The certification recognizes businesses that have demonstrated measurable, sustained commitment to reducing their environmental footprint across areas such as energy efficiency, waste reduction and recycling, environmental purchasing, and organizational sustainability practices. Businesses are evaluated and certified at one of four tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum — based on the depth and breadth of their green practices.

“Being named a Gold-certified Green Business — and Montgomery County’s first certified Green Dealer — is a proud moment for our entire Fitzgerald family,” said Rob Smith, President of Fitzgerald Auto Malls. “This recognition reflects years of intentional work by our co-owners across every location, and it reinforces something we’ve believed since 1966: how we serve people, and the community and environment we share with them, matters. Our guests in Montgomery County care about sustainability, and this certification is our commitment to them that we do too. It’s simply the right thing to do.”
