Going Above and Beyond: Scott Keyte

INTERVIEW WITH SCOTT KEYTE

Scott Keyte, a resident of Bucks County, is general manager of Jaguar Land Rover Willow Grove. He has been in this position for the past seven years and with the dealership for a total of 26 years. The local business has earned the highly coveted Marque of Distinction from Jaguar for the past two consecutive years. This title is awarded to the top dealer in the country. 

Keyte, an avid runner who enjoys the outdoors, appreciates a vehicle made for exploring nature. Here, he shares advice on selecting a new car and discusses the highlights of working at Jaguar Land Rover Willow Grove.

Why did you get into the car business?
I grew up around the car business—my father owned a Lincoln Mercury dealership, and I started working for him as a teenager washing cars. I was attracted to the business right away; it was fun, and the employees seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. After several years working in different departments at Jaguar Land Rover Willow Grove, I decided to move into sales. I found tremendous satisfaction in helping clients find the right vehicle to fit their needs and budget. After a few years in sales, I was offered a management position, and I’ve been doing this ever since. I enjoy interacting with people. Over the years, I’ve made many lifelong friends—both customers and fellow employees.

Why is December an ideal time of the year to purchase a car?
December is a great time to buy a new car because the manufacturer typically offers excellent incentives at the end of the year, and many of our vehicles qualify for a tax write-off under IRS Section 179. It’s also a great time to purchase a car as a holiday gift. We can deliver the vehicle directly to your home to help you surprise that special someone.

What makes the customer experience special at Jaguar Land Rover Willow Grove?
We stand out for our personalized, luxury-focused service. Customers enjoy a full-service dealership offering new and preowned vehicles, easy financing, expert technicians, and a reputation for going the extra mile to ensure satisfaction. We provide a fleet of Land Rover loaner vehicles for clients having their cars serviced, and we offer convenient pick-up and delivery options.

What advice would you give to customers looking for a new car?
A Range Rover combines ultimate luxury with true off-road capability. It’s a vehicle that can tow a boat or horse trailer or take you off-road for the day and still provide the luxury and elegance you want for going out to your favorite restaurant at night. Customers love the plush interiors, smooth ride, and ability to customize their vehicles to match their personal style. Each model seamlessly blends sophistication with performance.

What do you enjoy most about working with customers from Upper Makefield Township and surrounding areas?
I’m a resident of Bucks County, and there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing our vehicles on the roads where I live. I also love seeing the excitement when a client finally gets the car of their dreams—whether it’s their first Range Rover or their 10th. Watching someone achieve that moment in person is truly unmatched.
