Hello Auto Group Grows Its Southern California Presence With New Dealer Acquisition
TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Auto Group announced it has acquired two dealerships in the state of California, John Hine Mazda Temecula and John Hine Subaru Temecula, increasing the Hello Auto Group footprint of dealerships in the Southern California market. The acquisition bolsters the positive reputation John Hine and his dealership organization have built over several decades. The acquisition was finalized effective close of business on October 4, 2021.

Hello Auto Group, based out of Valencia, California, prides itself on bringing a new, welcome approach to vehicle purchasing and ownership. It's centered its processes around being upfront, seamless and devoid of the anxieties associated with auto dealerships.
"In developing and growing Hello Auto Group, we've been able to do everything we've wanted to do elsewhere, but haven't been able to," said Schmidt. "Given the overwhelming reception we've seen in Valencia, I'm positive we'll continue the lasting connection John and team have made in Temecula and San Diego."
Hello Auto Group intends to maintain all employees at the Temecula locations, and expand the team for future growth.
