About Van Horn Auto

Welcome to Van Horn Automotive Group!

Van Horn Automotive Group has been serving the Wisconsin area since 1966! We have been a continuously family owned and operated dealer group, and are proud of the generations of family history tied into our business.  Our six locations are Van Horn Hyundai of Sheboygan, Van Horn Hyundai of Fond Du Lac, Van Horn Chevrolet in Plymouth, Van Horn Dodge, Chyrsler Jeep in Plymouth, Chrysler World in Green Bay, and Sheboygan County Budget Auto. Our customers recognize our 50-plus years of experience to be a beneficial quality when shopping for a vehicle, and we know you will too!

We Do Things a Little Differently…

At Van Horn we offer our customers the two most important things: Low Prices and Large Selection. In order to give our customers the best possible prices we have reduced our overhead in order to offer our vehicles at a much lower price. Because we realize that our customers simply want to walk away with a good deal, we are proud of the very low overhead expenses of our dealerships that allow us to pass those savings along to you! We practice a “no-frills” method, which does not include free lattes, cookies, or fancy waiting lounges.




We do not attempt the pushy sales pitches that customers dread at other dealerships…in fact we have eliminated sales people entirely so that our customers do not partake in uncomfortable price haggling, and do not pay ridiculous commissions! Instead, we have a knowledgeable staff of customer service representatives who will answer questions, educate and provide information, and assist you in the decision making process. Our team members are enthusiastic, approachable, experienced, and make it their job to ensure that car shopping with us is pleasant and enjoyable. Our pricing is not negotiable, we guarantee that our prices are already as low they can be!

Van Horn Automotive is the largest use-auto retail group in Wisconsin. Yet, we are not a large metro operation, and are proud that our combination of low overhead and high volume creates a refreshingly different take on car shopping! If you are looking to do business with a small family owned business that specializes in low price and huge selection, we are the dealer for you!

History:

Van Horn Automotive Group has been a family-owned business for many decades. Joe Van Horn moved his family from Chicago to Plymouth to purchase Wagner Chevrolet and open his first store, Joe Van Horn Chevrolet, in 1966. It was located on Factory and Shwartz streets. His son Chuck, looking back, recalls these being challenging times, with six children and very little money to start their business. In 1977 Joe Van Horn built the dealership in its current location. In 1987 Chuck Van Horn purchased the Dodge dealership, and in 1989 he purchased an Oldsmoblile dealership and dropped the Oldsmobile brand to take on Hyundai. This dealership moved to its current location in 1994. Fond Du Lac Hyundai was built in 2002. The Van Horn group has come a long way, but it is still operated as a small family-run business with their strong values guiding their business decisions.
