Peachtree Corners, GA – June 1, 2021 – Mighty Distributing System is proud to welcome Dahl Automotive, the latest car dealership group to vertically integrate a Mighty Auto Parts franchise. The new portfolio company will serve as a centralized distribution division to supply Mighty’s automotive products to the Dahl dealerships.

Based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Dahl Automotive was founded in 1911 and is one of the oldest Ford dealers in the U.S. Led by president, Andrew Dahl, they currently operate seven dealerships, two Ford Quick Lanes, and one Dahl Express Tire and Auto Center in western Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota, an area called the “7 Rivers Region.” Andrew and his brothers, Jansen and Tyler, represent the 5th generation of family ownership for this dealership group.

The new Mighty franchise will distribute Mighty’s preventive maintenance products, shop supplies, detailing products, equipment, and PPE. In addition to Mighty, Dahl Automotive operates other vertically integrated businesses such as ABRA Auto Body & Glass and Line-X Protective Coatings.

Andrew Dahl said, "With our group's strategic focus on used vehicle sales and express service offerings, it made perfect sense to vertically integrate with Mighty to add enterprise value and drive profitable growth. We are excited about this new partnership with Mighty."

Josh D’Agostino, Mighty’s President said, “Over the years, we have partnered with more than a dozen prominent car dealership groups as they seek a vertical integration strategy to bolster their sales and profits. Dahl Automotive is now set to accomplish the same, and we are proud to welcome the Dahl Family to Mighty. We look forward to a long, successful relationship.”
