Discover the people, vision, and values that continue to drive our growth throughout the South.
Built in Natchez. Growing Across the South.
Auto Group South began with one dealership in historic Natchez, Mississippi, and grew into a regional automotive network serving drivers across Louisiana and Mississippi.
Our story is rooted in customer relationships, quality vehicles, market-driven pricing, and a belief that strong automotive people deserve the support to build something lasting.
From One Store to a Growing Network
What started with Natchez Ford has grown into a group of franchise stores, pre-owned dealerships, and satellite operator locations built to serve more communities across the South.
A Timeline of Growth, People, and Opportunity
Auto Group South did not become a regional network overnight. It grew through experience, relationships, local market knowledge, and a commitment to helping customers and operators succeed.
The Foundation Begins in Natchez
Auto Group South traces its roots to Natchez Ford, a stand-alone Ford dealership in the historic city of Natchez on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Expansion Into Louisiana
The acquisition of Performance Dodge in Ferriday, Louisiana, and the opening of Mississippi Auto Direct in Natchez helped shape the early Auto Group South network.
The First Satellite Location
Tim Jackson Automotive opened in Jonesville, Louisiana, creating the first satellite operator location and a new model for experienced automotive professionals.
A Network Across Louisiana and Mississippi
Auto Group South now serves customers through a growing network of locations across Natchez, Ferriday, Jonesville, Monroe, Zachary, Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, Hammond, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Pineville, Shreveport, Minden, Ruston, and surrounding markets.
More Selection. More Convenience. More Ways to Shop.
Auto Group South gives shoppers access to a broad network of dealerships offering new and pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs across Louisiana and Mississippi.
Our market-driven approach helps customers shop with confidence, compare more options, and visit convenient physical locations throughout the region.
A Proven Path for Strong Car People.
The satellite model began with a simple goal: help a trusted automotive professional open a dealership with real support behind him.
Today, that model helps experienced operators focus on buying, selling, leading their teams, and serving their markets while Auto Group South helps support the systems behind the business.
