SYLMAR AUTO VILLE | MARKETING DIVISIN

In 1994, Sylmar Media was founded, a small business linked to computers, audio/video, video productions and the creation of printed ads.  This venture, which became family-owned, would later step aside for another family business, Sylmar Auto Ville, which focusses mainly on classic and antique vehicle tire sales.  In 2020, Sylmar Auto Ville launches a Marketing Division, offering to the local automotive industry and to other types of businesses various services to help better promote themselves.  Since, our customer base has become diversified and spands over farther areas.
