TALE OF THE ANDERSON AUTO/POWERSPORTS GROUP
The Anderson Auto & PowerSports Group Story
The tale of The Anderson Auto & PowerSports Group is a riveting journey filled with vision, transformation, and a dedication to exceeding expectations. It all began with Dick Anderson, a proud South Dakota native, and his brother Roger, who held the reins of multiple dealerships in the heartland of the Midwest.
But then, in 1998, something extraordinary happened. After a memorable vacation in the sun-soaked landscapes of Arizona, Dick Anderson made a life-altering choice. He decided to part ways with his existing dealership ventures and set forth on an exhilarating new adventure in the Southwest.
The adventure kicked off in 1999 with the acquisition of a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep dealership in picturesque Lake Havasu City. Fast forward to 2009, and Dick’s son, Jason, took the helm, following in his father’s footsteps. He became the proud owner and principal of the Anderson Auto Group, sealing the deal with the purchase of a Toyota store in Kingman.
Jason’s vision and determination propelled the Anderson legacy to new heights. He expanded the portfolio to include Nissan and Ford dealerships, all while preserving the family-oriented ethos instilled by his father, Dick.
In 2022 The Anderson Auto & PowerSports Group came to be when he purchased four powersports stores in Arizona. Located in Lake Havasu City, Parker and Bullhead City, Anderson PowerSports carry top brands including Yamaha, Kawasaki, Polaris, Sea Doo, Can-Am and Mercury.
In 2024, the Anderson Honda and Anderson Cheverolet auto dealerships in Kingman were purchased and in 2025 he further expanded the Anderson reach by purchasing his fifth powersports store in Reno, Nevada, adding CF Moto and Indian motorcycles to the long list of Anderson product offerings.
Today, Jason Anderson, the dynamic owner and principal of the Anderson Auto & PowerSports Group, which includes seven auto dealerships and five powersports stores, continues to uphold his father’s legacy with pride. He’s unwavering in his commitment to providing top-notch products and services to customers, all while actively contributing to the communities they serve.
Notably, the Anderson Auto Group has garnered accolades such as the 2013 Lake Havasu Chamber Business of the Year award and the prestigious 2017 Ethics in Business award from the Chamber.
