History

at Walser Toyota

The moment you walk into a Walser dealership, there is one driving factor that defines us; giving customers the consummate, customer-focused experience when purchasing a vehicle. This is the same momentum that has driven us since this company was founded by Jack Walser, and continues to this day under the leadership of Andrew Walser.

1997 New Dealerships, and New Leadership

Jack’s sons Paul and Andrew Walser stepped in to take over the company from their father who was retiring, with Paul becoming CEO of the company.

2000 The Walser Way Begins

Under Paul’s leadership, all dealerships evolve from a typical dealership pricing model, involving haggling and hassling, to the beginning of the ‘one price’ model that we see today.

2001-2003 Accelerated Growth of the Walser Automotive Group

Walser quickly grew under the leadership of Paul Walser, acquiring Bloomington Quality Lincoln Mercury, Burnsville Nissan Buick, Bloomington Peterson Pontiac GMC, Bloomington Freeway Dodge, Bloomington Toyota, Inver Hills Mazda, as well as a new Cadillac franchise which moved to Apple Valley and another Jeep franchise that joined the Walser Hopkins Chrysler location. Part of these acquisitions were consolidations of the locations, so as to create facilities better suited to giving customers the true Walser experience.

2012-2015 Wichita Luxury Collection Joins Walser

Walser made the greatest expansion at one time in the history of the company by purchasing the Wichita Luxury Collection. Consisting of nine luxury brands, Acura, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, and Porsche.

2016 Walser Auto Campus is Born

As 2016 started up, MINI took a similar strategy to Audi, moving into temporary facilities so as to engage the Wichita audience as soon as possible! After that, Audi Wichita opened the doors of their top of the line facilities, and the most important news, that The Wichita Luxury Collection was sold to the Walser Automotive Group and renamed to the Walser Auto Campus!
