VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Exciting things are happening in the car and truck sales industry in Valley City.
Since 1898 when the automotive industry began it has thrived by embracing innovation, evolution and the excitement of the vehicle. This combined with the local auto dealers dedication and firm commitment to customer service has built the foundation of these two great companies.
Miller Motors and Stoudt-Ross Ford are excited to announce the next evolution of the auto industry in combining forces and continuing to build and grow as Stoudt-Miller, Inc.
Jim Nelson and Casey Stoudt Jr. are pleased to announce that over 500 years of combined award winning experience in sales, parts and service will be offered in one beautiful location with a new state of the art showroom for Miller Motors. The merger will offer Valley City, and the surrounding area, the biggest shop with 5 quick lane service stalls and up to 20 repair stalls within one facility.
Miller Motors will be moving into Stoudt-Ross Ford on Winter Show Road in Valley City on January 3rd. Jim Nelson will be the dealer principal on the Chrysler side.
And Casey Stoudt will be the dealer principal on the Ford side.
The combined dealership will bring their existing staff at both locations to one. Nelson said there will be no job cuts and additional hires are planned. Construction of the new addition is tentatively set for the spring of 2022.
When Jim and Casey were asked, why now, the answer came quite easily. With all of the new product coming from both Ford and Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM they decided they owed it to Valley City and Barnes County. Both Jim and Casey agreed their customers, all over the region, were the most important piece of the puzzle and continuing to provide them with the best and most comfortable experience they deserve was top on the list. They want their customers, new and returning, to know that the same faces they’ve grown to know and trust have merged together to offer more products, faster efficiency and even better service.
Nelson and Stoudt thank everyone for their support and patronage over the years and look forward to continuing that relationship in 2022. They also invite the public to stop in and see them in the new location and check out the new and used inventory that is arriving daily.
This is just the beginning for Stoudt-Miller, Inc. with January 3rd set as the official first day of business at 325 Winter Show Road SW in Valley City. Watch for updates and the ground breaking of the new building set in the spring of 2022.
