Our Roots: Where It All Began

In 1996, Gregg Kunes embarked on a vision in Delavan, Wisconsin, birthing the very first Kunes dealership. Today, Kunes Auto Group proudly stands tall with over 40 dealerships across the Midwest, including the RV segment. Originally known as Kunes Country, we've always resonated with our core beliefs: Faith, Family, and Giving Back. These principles aren't just words; they define us.

Our Impact: Beyond Cars, Trucks, SUVs, and RVs

We're more than just dealerships; we're a community. With a strong team of over 2,000 members, we call ourselves family. Together, we are truly committed to bettering lives. A testament to this is our dedication to giving back - 10% of our annual net profits directly benefit charities in the areas we operate. Our commitment shines, evident from our consistent recognition among the "Automotive News' Best Dealerships to Work For", having secured this honor over 30 times!

In The Spotlight

2022 was a monumental year for Kunes. Our visionary, Gregg Kunes, was crowned "Wisconsin's Dealer of the Year" by TIME magazine, a nomination brought forward by the National Automobile Dealer Association's President, William A. Sepic. Gregg showcased his passion at the 105th annual National Automobile Dealer Association's gala in Las Vegas, standing strong among 47 notable industry peers. This accolade wasn't just for his business acumen but also for his unwavering commitment to community welfare.

Our Mission: Driving Forward with Purpose

Our mission is twofold. First, deliver unmatched service to our customers. Second, make a positive mark in every community we touch. Our employees stand at the heart of this mission. When they thrive, our customers benefit. Every car, truck, SUV, and RV that we sell is a commitment - a commitment to helping you achieve your goals, be it getting to work, supporting your family, or even broader community contributions.

Fueling our mission is the Kunes Family Foundation. Through a 10% contribution from each store's pre-tax profits, we support a plethora of charitable endeavors, both local and international. And with foundations deep in Christian values, we believe in honesty, compassion, and community responsibility. These values guide our daily operations, ensuring our customers always experience the best, our employees feel valued, and our communities grow stronger.
