About Us

The Reineke family of dealerships has been proudly serving Ohio drivers with quality vehicles from top names since 1960. What began as one humble location grew into a legacy of dealerships across the Buckeye State-a legacy fueled by our passion for putting drivers in reliable, well-made vehicles from trusted brands. It all started in 1960, when Bill Reineke, Sr. opened his first dealership in Fostoria. The dealership quickly became so popular that Bill Sr. had to move it to a larger building just two years later.

By 1967, we had the opportunity to join the ranks of Ford dealerships, and in 1970, we set to work building our first Ford dealership north of Fostoria. By 1972, Reineke Ford opened its doors to customers, delivering a diverse inventory of body styles from this beloved brand. While we greatly enjoy our work in Fostoria and cherish our customers there, the Reineke passion for pairing drivers with quality cars quickly grew larger than the borders of Fostoria. So, in 1984, we broadened our reach east to Tiffin, where we purchased Tiffin Ford Lincoln Mercury on Market Street. We even expanded our reach all the way south to Celina, with yet another Ford Lincoln Mercury location.

In the late 1990s, we decided to deepen our relationship with our customers by supporting them not only through purchasing but also through ownership. That's why we added collision centers to our Fostoria and Tiffin locations. We quickly became the family of dealerships drivers know they could trust to return their vehicle to like-new condition, after the traumatizing event of a collision. Our technicians are all highly trained in the specific brands in which we specialize, and treat every customer with care and professionalism, communicating clearly at each step of the way when restoring their vehicle.

In 2001, we moved our Tiffin Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership to a new location at 2020 West State Route 18. By 2005, we were expanding our partnerships and working with even more names that our customers had been requesting. In 2005, we opened the Reineke Lincoln Mercury Mazda in Lima, and in 2006, we opened the doors at our Reineke Chevrolet Buick Pontiac location in Upper Sandusky. Before we knew it, we had locations across northern Ohio, and were welcoming drivers from suburbs and cities alike looking for great prices on new and used vehicles from top names. Our brand partnerships would eventually expand to include Nissan and Mazda. Our Mazda partnership was short-lived, but we still have our vibrant and welcoming Reineke Nissan dealership in Lima.

We're honored that Ohio drivers have trusted us all these years with their vehicle needs. When you work with one Reineke dealership, you're working with all of them. That means that if one of our locations doesn't have the model you're after, our teams will gladly call our other dealerships to see if they have it. Most of our locations today have full-service finance teams and service departments, so no matter which Reineke dealership you visit, you'll have access to the support you need, from picking out a vehicle to accessing funds to caring for it.

We take great pride in our teams and thoroughly vet every member of each department to ensure they possess the same values as the Reineke name. Those values include integrity, kindness, professionalism, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to put our customers in vehicles they love at prices they want. Once you've worked with a Reineke dealership, you'll understand just why we have so many loyal customers who have returned to us since 1960 each time they need a new vehicle, or need service. We look forward to becoming your trusted family of dealerships in Ohio.
