About Gurley Leep Nissan

Learn More About Us

In December 1933, Masujiro Hashimoto founded a car company in Japan that he called Nissan: a company he built on the philosophy of enriching people’s lives.

Nissan became the tenth member of the Gurley Leep Automotive Family in 2003, and Gurley Leep Nissan proudly continues Hashimoto’s philosophy by helping drivers find the right fit for their needs. Whether you are shopping for a new Nissan Frontier, Rogue, Altima, or another Nissan model, exploring pre-owned options, visiting our Finance Center, or bringing your vehicle in for Nissan-certified service, our team is here to make every step simple, helpful, and stress-free. Visit Gurley Leep Nissan at 5201 Grape Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545, and see how we make car buying better.

Founded in 1977 by Mike Leep Sr. and Van Gurley, the Gurley Leep Automotive Family began with a Buick dealership in South Bend, Indiana, built on a simple belief: treat people the right way and success will follow.

Today, as one of Michiana’s most recognized and respected automotive groups, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. As a family-owned business led by Mike Leep Jr. and James Leep, the Gurley Leep Automotive Family has grown to represent 20 automotive brands across 24 dealerships in five states, supported by more than 1,500 dedicated team members.

Our mission extends far beyond selling and servicing vehicles. We are committed to bettering the lives of our guests, our team members, and our communities. Whether we’re helping guests find the right vehicle, creating opportunities for team members to build meaningful careers, or investing in the communities we call home, we strive to make a positive impact every day.

For nearly five decades, generations of families have trusted us with their automotive needs. We are honored by that trust and remain committed to delivering exceptional experiences with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care.
