| It all began for us in 1946 when founder, Stanley Allen, after selling bread door to door, opened his first dealership selling used cars on Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, California. In 1947 Stanley was excited to add the Oldsmobile franchise and shortly thereafter, Cadillac. |  |
 | After 25 years in beautiful Laguna Beach, Stanley’s son, Dennis, who had joined his father in the family business, moved the dealership to its present location in Laguna Niguel - considered by many as not such a good idea. Of course, time has proven that Dennis was prophetic as South Orange County’s tremendous growth and demographics have created anything but a desolate business environment and in 1972 GMC truck was added to the lineup. |
| Allen Hyundai of Laguna Niguel was opened in May 2006 by the Allen Family Automotive Group. Brothers Scott and Mitch Allen built the new, three floor sales facility in 2000 with eight sales offices, a business office and a six car vehicle display area on the main floor. Allen Hyundai is located at the southern most tip of the Allen property. In March 2003, Allen was notified by Hyundai of their expansion plans to add a dealer in the area. |  |
JD Powers and Associates Initial Quality Study ranking of non-luxury brands ranked Hyundai 3rd best in 2005, and every model in Hyundai’s U.S. model lineup was ranked above industry average for having the highest initial quality. This, coupled with the ten year-100,000 mile warranty, created a compelling opportunity for Allen Autos to help Hyundai achieve their target for growth in California.
At the beginning of the twenty first century, Scott and Mitch Allen are leading Allen Hyundai into what will be its greatest period of opportunity to exceed the expectations of our customers. The Allen Brothers are taking the business to its next incarnation as one of the dominant Hyundai retailers in Southern California. In the family tradition, Allen continues its charitable involvement in the communities its serves with donations to local schools, sports teams and many local charity events.
