THE BAUMANN AUTO GROUP FAMILY TRADITION CONTINUES--NOW 9 DEALERSHIPS STRONG!

In an era of continuous change, we at the Baumann Auto Group would like to celebrate 70 years of successfully serving the community. Our tradition of trust began in 1956, when Al Baumann purchased Nieburger Chevrolet in Fremont, Ohio. Al started his automotive career in 1953, selling cars at a Pontiac-Cadillac dealership in Fremont, Ohio.  Al's hard work and integrity in his business dealings laid the foundation for success. His reputation grew over the years, not only among customers... but also among his employees, many of which stayed with the company for many years... resulting in long-lasting relationships and (most of all) friendships.

With a strong foundation of trust in place, the business experienced significant growth over the years. This success led to the purchase of a Buick franchise in 1984, followed by an expansion in 1990 that included the Pontiac-Buick-GMC dealership in Tiffin, Ohio. In 2001, the Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership in Fremont was acquired, along with the Chevrolet-Cadillac-Buick-Pontiac dealership in Port Clinton later that same year.

Baumann Auto Group has continued to expand steadily. In August 2006, the Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership in Port Clinton was added, accompanied by the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility to house the franchise. Continuing the tradition of trust, Genoa Ford and Genoa Chevrolet in Genoa, Ohio were acquired in April 2012. On May 1, 2013, the Chevrolet franchise in Tiffin was added, now known as Baumann Chevrolet Buick GMC of Tiffin. 

Growth has remained a constant focus, with the acquisition of Baumann Ford Oregon in Oregon, Ohio on October 1, 2020. Most recently, on March 25, 2026, Baumann Chevy in Norwalk joined the group, marking another exciting milestone in the company's continued expansion.

Buck is proud to continue his father's vision with the same tradition of trust and family atmosphere in the 9 dealerships that are in Fremont, Tiffin, Port Clinton, Oregon and Norwalk. BAUMANN WON'T BE BEAT! We don't compromise honesty and ethics, we proudly employ high quality people... and we care about the people we serve... which is YOU, our loyal customer.
