About Gee Automotive Companies

The Gee Automotive Companies began in 1983 when George Gee opened a Pontiac dealership in Spokane, Washington, which quickly became the largest in the state. In 1991, the company added GMC to its offerings, and in 2000, it relocated to new facilities in Liberty Lake, WA.

In 2003, Ryan Gee became President and CEO, building on his parents' legacy by expanding the company to include Buick, Porsche of Spokane, Kia in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, and Cadillac in Coeur d'Alene. Ryan focused on cultivating talent within the organization, bringing on skilled managers such as Jeff Jackson, who became president in 2010 while Ryan remained as CEO and Dealer Principal.

The company has since expanded beyond Spokane, notably acquiring 13 dealerships from the Tonkin Group in Portland in 2017. Currently, Gee Automotive includes Eastside Subaru in Kirkland, WA; South Tacoma Honda in Tacoma, WA; and Gresham Subaru in the Portland, OR area. Under Ryan's leadership, the company now operates 40 dealerships, including the recent additions of Honda World and Olympia Kia Subaru. Additionally, it manages a parts wholesale business, an automotive retail financing arm, an automotive wholesale operation, an off-site sale company, and two Allstate insurance agencies, employing over 2,500 team members focused on exceptional customer service across the Northwest.

The common theme throughout the history of the Gee Automotive Companies has been families serving families. While they have experienced substantial growth, their commitment remains to be a good business that provides great customer experiences, excellent career opportunities, and a positive community impact.
