The Gerald Auto Group:  Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai and Kia.  
The Gerald family has been selling automobiles in the Chicago area since the mid-1930's starting with used car lots, then two DeSoto-Plymouth dealerships. The family finally settled in Skokie in 1952 and opened Gerald Motors, Inc. (DeSoto-Plymouth). The Dealership was awarded the Lincoln-Mercury franchise in 1954 and operated in the same location until 1997 when that Dealership was sold.  In October of 1981 we purchased an existing Oldsmobile dealership with a collision center at 1210 East Ogden Ave. in Naperville. We added Subaru to that location in August of 1985. In June of 2007 we added Kia to this location. In June of 1992 we purchased an existing Nissan dealership at 1575 W. Ogden and opened our second store in Naperville.  In March of 1998, we built our third location and added a second Nissan franchise in the North Aurora Auto Mall. We were awarded the Subaru franchise to add to that store in 2000.  In May of 2009, we purchased an existing Hyundai dealership located next to our Nissan/Subaru franchise in the North Aurora Auto Mall.  In December of 2012, we purchased an existing Kia dealership in the North Aurora Auto Mall. In August of 2014, the Gerald Kia Naperville dealership moved to an all new, state of the art location at 1661 Aurora Ave (Aurora and Ogden) in Naperville.  As the Gerald family of dealerships continues to grow, it will be the result of all of our combined efforts, and our dedication and loyalty to the thousands of customers who favor us with their trust and patronage.  We are dedicated to our customers for a lifetime of great service.
