Try a pivot table, takes only seconds to set-up

Select a cell inside your data table,
click Data Pivot Table
Click Next Next
In step 3 of the wizard, click Layout
drag n drop Department into ROW area
drag n drop Make into DATA area
(it'll appear as Count of Make)
Click OK Finish. That's it!

Hop over to the pivot sheet (just to the left) for the summary
