Step One Volkswagen Fort Walton Beach has served Florida Panhandle drivers for many years from Hollywood Boulevard. From Panama City, cross the Hathaway Bridge and follow US-98 west through Panama City Beach, Inlet Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, and Destin. It's a little over an hour, depending on beach traffic.
Panama City has plenty going for it: the marina and shops in downtown, the waterfront in Historic St. Andrews, sunset views over St. Andrew Bay, and a steady stream of new arrivals heading to Tyndall's growing F-35 mission. We help those drivers, and the neighbors in Lynn Haven, Callaway, and Parker, find a Volkswagen that fits.
Because the drive takes real time, we make it easy to browse, apply, and value your trade from home. Your visit can focus on the test drive and the paperwork.
