The Dolan Automotive
Group
Another year of progress
The Dolan Automotive Group, founded by Tom Dolan in
1982, is located in Reno, Nevada and serves custom-
ers in the Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe areas. The
Group is composed of Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Kia, and
Scion dealerships, each of which sells new and used
cars and offers its customers both service and parts.
Brady Dolan, Tom’s son became the General Manager
of Dolan Toyota in 2012, and today is the Group’s GM;
Tom’s older brother, Ryan, is the company’s CEO.
Last year, when Business View Magazine first spoke
with Brady, he informed us that the Group was plan-
ning to build a brand new Lexus dealership. Recently,
he updated us on its progress: “Last year was very
busy building the new Lexus dealership,” he says. “We
bought a piece of land and built a new facility from
the ground up and we opened the building about four
months ago. So, we are in a totally new, state-of-the
art, 68,000 square foot building – about an $18 mil-
lion project. We have our own coffee shop and we
have a space for community events. A lot of non-profits
have their galas and events there. It’s quite a beautiful
room. The old building is now body shop; we plan on
growing our body business.”
