Automotive Detailer

Ryan Auto Mall is a family-owned and operated automotive dealership group with a long-standing commitment to our employees, customers, and communities. What began in 1976 with the opening of our Chevrolet Cadillac dealership in Buffalo, Minnesota, has grown into three locations with the addition of (2) Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealerships serving Buffalo, Monticello, and the surrounding communities. Today, the third generation of the Ryan family is actively involved in the business, continuing the tradition of high standards and exceptional customer care established nearly 50 years ago.

As a family-owned business, we believe our people are at the heart of our success. We strive to create a workplace where employees are valued, supported, and given opportunities to learn, grow, and build a long-term career. We take pride in treating our customers like neighbors and our employees like family.

Giving back to the communities we serve is also an important part of who we are. Ryan Auto Mall is proud to support local schools, youth sports, charitable organizations, community events, and other initiatives that help make our communities stronger. We believe being a good neighbor means being actively involved in and giving back to the communities where we live and work.
