A Legacy That Started in 1952

What began in 1952 with H.B. McGrath’s Buick dealership in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, soon grew into something much bigger. In 1957, H.B. relocated to Cedar Rapids and opened McGrath Pontiac, beginning a long-standing tradition of serving Iowa drivers with a people-first mindset.

Over the decades, the business continued to grow through new franchises, new locations, and new generations of family leadership. Today, McGrath remains committed to creating a better dealership experience built on trust, transparency, and care.

“We’re in the people business first, the car business second.”

Built Through Generations

The McGrath Family of Dealerships officially formed in 1991, and the company has continued to grow while staying grounded in the same principles that started it all.

From H.B. McGrath to Bruce, Pat, and Mike, and now into the fourth generation, the legacy has always been about more than selling vehicles. It is about treating people the right way, building lasting relationships, and continuing a tradition of integrity across every location.
