Welcome to the Eide family: Eide Chevrolet & Eide Subaru!

We are excited to welcome Eide Chevrolet & Eide Subaru to the Eide Automotive Group! 

2024 has been an exciting year for the Eide Automotive Group - we welcomed Eide Chrysler St. Cloud to our family in January, and now the addition of these two stores is a perfect bookend to this year! 

Although the store names are changing from Subaru of Mandan and Chevrolet of Mandan to Eide Subaru and Eide Chevrolet, our teams are not. Yes, we will be adding some personnel, but our current team isn’t going anywhere. We are still here to take care of you and all of your sales, service, and parts needs. 

The Eide organization has a very interesting history: Eide began in 1974 when we opened our very first location in Grand Forks, ND. In 1981, we were fortunate enough to open Eide Ford Lincoln - our first location in Bismarck, ND. In 2010, we added Eide Chrysler Pine City to the family. We then acquired Eide Chrysler in Bismarck in 2016, and then moved across the river and gained Eide Ford Mandan and Eide Kia in 2022. We welcomed Eide Chrysler St. Cloud in January of 2024, and now Eide Chevrolet and Eide Subaru are joining our growing Eide family! 

"Adding these 2 dealerships, as well as the Chevrolet and Subaru nameplates, to our portfolio puts us in a position to even better serve the residents of the Bismarck/Mandan communities. We appreciate the excellent service the ownership of these 2 stores have provided over the years and the support they've shown the community. We're committed to carrying on those traditions." - Jesse Peterson, President of the Eide Automotive Group.

Fair Market Trade-In Value: By looking at multiple sources such as Kelley Blue Book, surrounding markets, guidebooks, as well as the overall condition and mileage, we guarantee you a fair value for your vehicle, and we will buy your vehicle even if you do not buy from us. And if you do buy from us, the value of your trade will not change based on what you buy from us. 

Service Excellence: We have many Master Certified Technicians on our staff, our Service Department is open for many hours during the week, our online service scheduling tool is easy, and we offer Complimentary Courtesy Shuttle Service for all of our customers. 

Promoting From Within

One part of our Eide culture that we are extremely proud of is how we promote from within. Everyday, we strive to aid in the growth of all of our employees, both professionally and personally. As our employees grow in their careers, and as Eide Automotive Group continues to grow, we are fortunate enough to be able to promote our employees, so they can take their next step in their careers. 

One example of how Eide promotes from within is Don Pask, General Manager at Eide Chrysler in Bismarck. Don started as an intern at Eide Ford Lincoln in Bismarck, worked his way up into Sales, was then promoted into Finance, and then into Sales Management at Eide Chrysler. As he was trained in the different managing roles, he then became General Sales Manager, and then General Manager. 

Don’s story is not the only one like that within our group. We have many employees who have grown their careers and moved through different departments to find their perfect fit, and have been fortunate enough to grow immensely with the Eide Automotive Group.

“I am excited to embark on this new adventure, of adding two new brands within the Eide Automotive Group,” says Jory Ditsworth, General Manager of Eide Subaru. “I am personally excited to take this next step in leading Eide Subaru within the Eide organization, and be a part of the existing team at Subaru.”

“We are really excited to grow within the Mandan community, and get to know all of the current employees at the Chevrolet and Subaru dealerships,” says Ryne Balzer, General Manager of Eide Chevrolet. “These stores have been a big part of the Mandan community for several years, and being able to add them to our Eide team and being able to better serve our customers is something I am greatly looking forward to.”

“My first vehicle purchase as a young adult was a Subaru, and it is still one of the best vehicles I have owned. It is a great brand, and I am excited that we will be adding the Subaru and Chevrolet name plates to our Eide family. These additions will allow Eide to better serve our customers in not only Bismarck and Mandan, but the surrounding towns as well. Many of our customers love the Chevrolet and Subaru brands, and being able to offer our Eide markdown pricing on these new vehicle brands will allow us to better serve our customers now and into the future,” says Justin Harmon, Marketing Director for the Eide Automotive Group. 

The additions of Eide Chevrolet and Eide Subaru are a big next step for the Eide Automotive Group. We are looking forward to the growth ahead of us, to better serve our customers in our local community!
