A nostalgic look back:A history of Goshen Motors, Inc.In late 1999, Goshen Motors, Inc was incorporated to facilitate the purchase of Buick GMC in Goshen.Dzung Nguyen purchased the Buick GMC franchises in Goshen from Dan Martin of Detroit, MI.Motors Holding Division, a wholly owned division of GM was the financing arm that facilitated the purchase.Dzung paid of the loan in 1995 and purchased the property from GM as well. He become the sole owner of the business.Dzung Nguyen as an outsider to Goshen decided to get to know the community and ccommitted to a 4 pillars strategy to set directions for the new company:* Be best at customer service * Take care of employees* Be part of the community.* Be profitableDzung got involved in every non for profit organizations he can find to integrate himself into the community.* Kiwanis where he enjoy cooking steak burgers at the 4H fair.* Goshen Chamber as a board member and finished his term as the Chairman of the Board.* Boys and Girls Club of Goshen as a Board Member, Chaiman of the Board of Trustees and is still a member of the Foundation Board.* Board Member of the Community Foundation of Elkhart County where he served out his term as the Chairman of the Board.After 5 years from moving to Goshen, I feel like I was accepted into the community. That is pretty good for someone that didn’t know anything about the town or anyone in the community. It is now home after 24 years.In 1996, Dzung was awarded the Hyundai Franchise and built a new showroom for the new venture.In 2017, Dzung started an RVs dealership next to the new car franchises until 2022.The key part to our success is contributed to our employees, our involvement with the community and our wonderful customers.We raised our son Michael and our daughter Gabriella in Goshen, IN.As with everything, after 24 years, my wife and I decided to sell the dealership. The dealership changed hand on August 4th, 2022.
We feel very proud to have been a contributor in a small way to our community. This is home!
We have been very fortunate to have build so many friendships with people in Elkhart County.This allows us to enjoy our time to travel, golf and most importantly : No Stress.So far, it has been great. Thank you for all your support.Dzung & Francoise Nguyen.
