Our organization has long prided itself on ensuring the very best service possible at all of our locations. The secret? "Our family providing your family with the ultimate automotive experience." But this isn't just a slogan or catchy phrase, this idea has been built into the organization since the beginning starting with the very first location purchased by Harold Zeigler in Lowell, Michigan. As the organization grew, so did the involvement of his family, especially that of Harold's son, Aaron Zeigler who at just 16 years old started working within the organization part-time eventually working his way up to his current position of CEO and president. Today Zeigler is one of the largest dealer groups in the country, ranking in the top 1%, employing 2,300 people with an estimated annual sales of $2.2 billion for 2022.
As a family owned and operated dealer group, Zeigler has been recognized locally, regionally and nationally as a great place to work having earned the title of one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work for in the Nation for three consecutive years, also taking home similar accolades in Chicago and Michigan. An innovative company, always ready to serve its employees just as much as its customers, Zeigler was also awarded a top spot in Glassdoor Economic Research Work-Life Balance Study, by putting company culture and family first.

"People may think that it can be challenging to work with a family member, but for me it's been a very rewarding experience. I've enjoyed guiding my brother, Chandler and watching him grow and develop his skills in a sales role. He's grown in ways personally and professionally through the resources Zeigler Auto Group provides. I'm excited to see what the future holds for him and his family as he progresses on in his career with us."
Mitch Miller, GSM, Zeigler Ford Lincoln of Elkhart"When my older brother asked me if I wanted to join Team Zeigler, I was hesitant at first because I had very little insight in sales and I'm not the most social person. Now almost 2 years in, I have overcome obstacles I did not think were possible both personally and professionally. Having a close family member guide and support me along the way has truly been a blessing and I am so thankful for the endless opportunities Zeigler Auto Group has to offer."
