Dick Strong Named President of The Van Horn Automotive Group

Richard “Dick” Strong has recently been named President of The Van Horn Automotive Group. He has worked for the company for over 20 years, and provides an excellent example of working up through the ranks.

Strong started as an Auto Technician right after high school. Working at various dealerships and repair facilities as a Technician, he was then promoted to Service Manager as he completed his Supervisory Management degree at LTC. Strong started his career with Van Horn as Service Manager at the Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM location, in Plymouth, in September 1993.

After seven years as Service Manager, and 6 years as Fixed Operations Director for the Group, Strong earned the title of General Manager which he held for seven years.

A life-long native of the Plymouth area, Strong has played a huge part in expanding the Van Horn Auto Group beyond Sheboygan County. Van Horn has sold cars nationwide, and even around the globe!

In his new role as President, he is looking forward to spending more time at all eight of Van Horn’s dealerships and getting to know the staff members at each store. He makes a point to be very visible around the dealerships and takes an active interest in the customer’s experience, always striving for the highest level of satisfaction.

When he is not at the dealership, you can find him spending time with his wife, Sunday; hitting the golf course; playing basketball or biking. Strong also volunteers for several local charities, and enjoys visiting his sons, Cody in New Mexico and Spencer in Madison.
