Jim Click

What Jim Click does

Jim Click Automotive Team is a privately held, multi-brand franchised automotive dealership group headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, founded in 1971 and operating 501–1,000 employees. The group runs nine franchised rooftops across three Southern Arizona clusters — the Auto Mall, East Side, and Sahuarita/Green Valley — representing Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Lincoln, Mazda, Nissan, and Ram. The core business is new and used vehicle sales, supported by integrated service and parts operations, in-house Collision Centers, Jim Click Customs aftermarket accessorizing, a Maintenance For Life program ($995 Elite tier), captive and third-party financing including a "Yes Credit Team!" subprime offering, and a dedicated commercial/fleet inventory channel.

The technology stack is conventional dealer retail tooling: a DealerOn-hosted website with WCAG accessibility compliance, VIN-level new and used inventory pages, lead forms (Text Me a Link, ePrice, Test Drive, Send to Friend), and BDC routing to an Internet/BDC/Marketing Director. Distribution is overwhelmingly physical store-based, with digital lead capture feeding in-store sales and service appointments.

Effective April 28, 2026, Gee Automotive Companies completed its acquisition of 15 dealerships from Jim Click Automotive Team and Tuttle-Click Automotive Group, with the Jim Click dealerships continuing to operate under their existing names and brands. Post-deal, Gee operates 75 franchises across 57 rooftops in five Western U.S. states. No revenue figure is disclosed in the source material.
