Steve Villamarin

As a third-generation Staten Islander, Steven proudly continues the legacy established by his grandfather, Louis Villamarin, who founded the business in 1965.

What began as a modest neighborhood gas station grew into a trusted automotive dealership—eventually becoming Villa Marin Pontiac Buick GMC Cadillac and Chevrolet after earning a General Motors franchise. The business eventually consolidated into Villa Marin Autoworld, which sells a variety of new and used vehicles. Today, under Steven’s leadership, Villa Marin Autoworld carries forward its longstanding tradition of excellence in customer service, integrity, and community commitment.

Steven’s deep roots in Staten Island are matched by his dedication to professional growth and civic engagement. A graduate of Monsignor Farrell High School, he continued his studies at Seton Hall University, St. John’s University, and General Motors University, where he completed advanced training in automotive management and operations.

An active and respected leader in the local business community, Steven has served as Past President and Current Board Member of the Bucks Business Network, as well as a Member of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce and the Staten Island Rotary Club. His involvement extends beyond the business community to his faith, as a committed member of Zion Lutheran Church.

Throughout his career, Steven has been recognized for his business leadership and community service, earning several distinguished honors, including the Unsung Hero Award, 20 Under 40 Award, and the Louis R. Miller Business Leadership Award.

A lifelong resident of Staten Island’s South Shore, Steven is proud to raise his three children in the same community that has supported his family’s business for nearly six decades. His dedication to family, faith, and the continued success of Villa Marin Autoworld stands as a testament to the enduring Villamarin legacy.
