Our History

Art Moehn Auto Group was established in 1962 by Arthur Moehn.  Our first location was a Chevrolet dealership at 500 N. Jackson St. in downtown Jackson, MI.  In the mid 1970's, the Honda franchise was added, followed by Geo in the 80's.  Art passed away suddenly in 1991, and his son Mark Moehn took over the business.  Mark was in good health when he took over the dealership, but several years later became ill with cancer.  While he overcame the disease, it left him unable to run the business his father started.  At that point the family had no other individuals qualified to run the business, so John Kudner, who was married to Art's daughter Jacque, was encouraged by the family to purchase the business. John grew the business over the next several years, and in 2000, broke ground at a new Chevrolet location at 2200 Seymour Rd.  The sales, parts, and service divisions were moved in 2001, followed by the body shop a year later.  In 2003, construction began on the Honda dealership next door. In 2020 Chris Kudner (John's son and Art's grandson) took over day-to-day operations for the dealerships, bringing the family run company into it's third generation of ownership. Chris has expanded the business since then, adding Art Moehn Chevrolet of Chelsea in 2021.
