Georgia’s largest family-owned automotive group adds four new brands and first Woodstock location during 55th anniversary year.
Jim Ellis Automotive Group, Georgia’s largest family-owned and operated automotive group, announced the successful acquisition of Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Woodstock. The acquisition, finalized in January, introduces four iconic American brands to the Jim Ellis portfolio and establishes the group’s first physical presence in the Woodstock community.
The addition of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brings the Jim Ellis Automotive Group to a total of 21 brands across 22 dealerships in the metro Atlanta area. This strategic expansion allows the group to offer a more diverse range of vehicles, from the rugged off-road capabilities of Jeep and the heavy-duty power of Ram trucks to the performance-driven Dodge lineup and family-oriented Chrysler vehicles.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Woodstock into the Jim Ellis family,” said Jim Ellis Automotive President and CEO Wes Ellis. “This acquisition represents a significant milestone for our organization as we introduce four iconic American brands to our portfolio for the first time. Expanding our footprint into Woodstock allows us to better serve our North Georgia neighbors with an even broader selection of vehicles, and we look forward to bringing the ‘Jim Ellis Difference’ to CDJR customers through the same high standard of care and excellence that has defined our family business for 55 years.”
Located at 2300 Hwy. 92, Woodstock, GA 30189, the dealership now combines a robust lineup of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles with the trusted sales and service standards Jim Ellis has delivered since 1971. The acquisition brings expanded resources and proven processes to Woodstock shoppers, including a streamlined purchase experience and access to factory-trained technicians at modern service facilities.
The dealership is fully operational and currently assisting customers with new and pre-owned vehicle purchases, as well as comprehensive maintenance and repair needs. From routine oil changes to complex powertrain repairs, the professional service department is equipped to handle the high-quality maintenance needs of the Woodstock community.
“In addition to a beautiful facility, this acquisition has brought us an incredible team of talented and dedicated individuals who we are proud to welcome into the Jim Ellis Automotive family,” said Jim Ellis Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Officer Brooke Gatlin. “From day one, they have been gracious, collaborative, and genuinely excited about the future — and we share that enthusiasm. I am truly optimistic about the journey ahead as we come together, align our strengths, and work side by side to grow, connect, and succeed as one unified team.”
As Jim Ellis Automotive Group celebrates its 55th anniversary in 2026, this acquisition reinforces its commitment to growth and long-term community investment in the state of Georgia.
