The Short Version: Stivers Ford of Birmingham is about 115 miles from Auburn & Opelika, AL, or about 2 hours by car. Our showroom is at 500 Palisades Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35209, near I-65 Exit 255.
Lee County drivers have two solid ways to reach our showroom, and both take about two hours. Many Auburn families, students, and faculty make the trip to shop a larger lineup before heading home, often combining it with a visit to friends or family in the Birmingham area.
US-280 West is the most direct option, passing through Dadeville, Alexander City, Sylacauga, and Chelsea. The interstate option uses I-85 South to Montgomery and I-65 North, which adds mileage but keeps you on interstate the entire way.
Stay on Lakeshore Parkway (SR-149) as it heads west past Samford University and straight through the I-65 interchange at Exit 255. Continue a short distance to Palisades Boulevard, where you'll find our showroom at number 500.
Traffic tip: US-280 slows through Alexander City and again near Inverness at rush hour.
Auburn's mix of students, young families, and university staff means budgets and priorities vary widely. The Maverick and Bronco Sport offer smart value, the Explorer covers growing families, and pre-owned inventory gives first-time buyers more ways to fit their budget.
