About Our Company

Cable Dahmer Automotive Group

Our Mission & Vision

Our goal is to create an atmosphere in which our employees can develop to their fullest potential, and the company can maintain an excellent reputation, thus continuing to be a leader in our community.

Our History

Kansas City opened its arms to Cable Chevrolet in 1957, which has famously stood tall on the "Miracle Mile" of dealerships in Independence, Missouri. In 1974, Gerald Dahmer laid the foundation for Dahmer Chevrolet in Fairmont, a suburb of Independence. Combining the successes of both dealerships has helped the dependable Cable Dahmer brand stay the course and since 1996, made Cable Dahmer #1 in retail sales throughout the greater Kansas City area. To better serve customers, Cable Dahmer expanded with the purchase of Cable Dahmer of Kansas City in 2007 and Cable Dahmer Buick GMC Cadillac in 2012. In 2017, Cable Dahmer Kia of Lee’s Summit opened its doors, after three years in the making and the first store to be a complete build for the Auto Group. In 2021, Cable Dahmer acquired Ed Bozarth of Topeka, a landmark in the Topeka community for over 50 years.
