Welcome to Ryan Cadillac Minot: You’ve Chosen the Best

Welcome to the premier Cadillac dealer in Minot. We’re excited to welcome you into the family and show you how buying and owning a Cadillac can be exciting and incredibly rewarding. How do we do it, what does it mean to shop with us, and why are we so different from other dealerships? It’s all part of the Ryan legacy.

Family-Owned and Operated Since 1945

We’re renowned for our unique approach to the car-buying process and the owning experience because we shift the focus from the sale and the bottom line to the customer. You’re our priority, and that will never change. We guarantee it.

Our customers have been our priority since James Ryan launched his career in the automotive business in 1945. Mr. Ryan spent over a decade with the Chrysler Motor Division but knew he had more to offer, leaving the company to join Leonard Rydell of Rydell Chevrolet in North Dakota. Over the next 17 years, Mr. Ryan learned the ins and outs of the dealership as the General Sales Manager and General Manager. Then, he finally landed the opportunity of a lifetime––the chance to purchase a dealership of his own.

Mr. Ryan purchased Auran Chevrolet in Minot in 1973, rebranding the dealership as Jim Ryan Chevrolet and immediately launching the Ryan automotive legacy as we know it today. Over the next several decades, Mr. Ryan built a stellar reputation for his fervent commitment to his customers. He promised unparalleled customer service and, unlike many other dealerships, kept that promise and delivered. He was in the business of exceeding his customers’ expectations, an accomplishment he achieved every day. This approach and Mr. Ryan’s commitment to honesty and integrity earned him national acclaim in 1986 when he was named a regional finalist for Time Magazine’s National Dealer of the Year award.

By the new millennium, the Ryan name was synonymous with integrity and transparency. Its reputation was firmly rooted in its small-town values and customer-centric approach, giving Mr. Ryan the satisfaction of retiring after 27 years at the helm. So where would that leave the Ryan name?

The Legacy Continues

Growing up in the automotive industry, Kathleen watched her father intently, learning the intricacies of the automotive business and what it took to run a dealership. By the time her father retired, she was more than capable of taking over and expanding the Ryan name across the state. Kathleen accomplished as much within a few years, adding venues like Ryan Cadillac Minot under the Ryan Family Dealerships brand.

With each addition, Kathleen ensured the dealerships mirrored her father’s legacy of honesty, integrity, and transparency. Like her father, her tireless efforts earned her national acclaim when she was named a national finalist for Time Magazine’s National Dealer of the Year award for 2010. Like father, like daughter.

Today, Ryan Cadillac Minot and the many other Ryan Family Dealerships remain true to Mr. Ryan’s customer-centric approach. The entire Ryan team is committed to delivering a unique experience rooted in integrity, respect, and accountability. It’s how we do business, and it’s why Ryan Cadillac Minot outranks other dealers in the region.

Beyond the Sale: A Comprehensive Automotive Center

Our rich family heritage distinguishes us from other dealerships, especially when you experience our unique customer-centric approach. Even more impressive is that this approach doesn’t end when the sale is final. As your Cadillac authority, we’re a comprehensive automotive center that’s here to handle all your maintenance and repair needs with the same integrity and transparency.

We make buying a Cadillac enjoyable, but we make owning a Cadillac rewarding. Our state-of-the-art Cadillac service center is home to some of the most skilled technicians in the state. These technicians treat every vehicle like their own, making it easy to leave your Cadillac in trusted hands for simple routine maintenance like oil change services or for more complex drivetrain or powertrain repairs. This approach reflects our rich heritage, continuing the legacy that began decades ago with a young businessman dreaming of seeing his name on a dealership of his own.

Our Community

Our commitment to the community further distinguishes Ryan Cadillac Minot. Mr. Ryan believed that community and relationships come first, recognizing the importance of reinvesting in where we live and work. Today, we are proud to continue this impact with our ongoing community outreach initiatives that allow us to give back to the communities we serve.

Ryan Family Dealerships host three annual blood drives and support local organizations like Meals on Wheels, with many members of our team delivering food to those in need each week. We are also active participants in community events and love every opportunity to support local businesses and organizations. For example, we host a food drive to benefit the Salvation Army every fall and the Cheer for Children toy drive. We also sponsor events and venues like the Festival of Trees, the American Petroleum Institute Golf Tournament, and the Williston Basin Speedway.

These initiatives genuinely show who we are and our investment in our customers and the community. We’re not just a Cadillac dealership; we’re your biggest fan and your greatest supporter. Our work and unique approach embody our dedication to customers like you and our efforts to leave our corner of the world a better place.
