Our Community
The John Megel Difference
At John Megel Auto Group, community isn’t just something we talk about — it’s who we are. For over 25 years, John Megel Chevrolet has proudly served drivers in Dawsonville, and for nearly 5 years, John Megel Ford has been honored to serve the Cleveland community.
As a family-owned dealership group rooted in North Georgia, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us — especially the families, sportsmen, and local businesses that make this area so special.
Proudly Serving Dawsonville & Cleveland, GA
Our Chevrolet dealership is located in Dawsonville, and our Ford dealership is located in Cleveland. Together, we serve drivers throughout Dawson County, White County, and surrounding North Georgia communities.
Being locally owned means our customers are also our neighbors, friends, hunting buddies, and fishing partners. That’s why we are deeply committed to supporting the places where we live and work.
Where Sportsmen Buy Their Trucks
At John Megel Chevrolet and John Megel Ford, our brand is built around the outdoors. North Georgia is home to passionate hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts — and we proudly stand behind our motto:
“Where Sportsmen Buy Their Trucks.”
From towing boats to hauling gear to heading out before sunrise on opening day, our trucks are built for the lifestyle our customers live. Supporting outdoor traditions isn’t just marketing — it’s part of who we are.
Proud Partner of the Truck Buck Shoot-Out
One of the highlights of our year is our involvement with the Georgia Outdoor News Truck Buck Shoot-Out.
Each year, we proudly provide a brand-new truck giveaway for the Truck Buck winner — celebrating Georgia’s hunting heritage and the sportsmen who participate in this iconic outdoor tradition.
The Truck Buck Shoot-Out brings together hunters from across the state for competition, camaraderie, and conservation. We are honored to play a role in recognizing their achievements by putting them behind the wheel of a new truck from John Megel.
Supporting events like this reflects our deep connection to the outdoor community and reinforces why we are known as Where Sportsmen Buy Their Trucks.
Hosting Family-Friendly Community Events
We love opening our doors for fun, safe, and memorable events throughout the year.
Trunk or Treat 
Each fall, our dealerships transform into a safe and festive destination for local families.
Our annual Trunk or Treat events welcome hundreds of kids and parents for decorated vehicles, candy, games, and community fun.

Pictures with Santa
During the holiday season, we host free Pictures with Santa events so families can capture special memories without the stress or cost. It’s our way of spreading joy and celebrating the season together.
These events reflect our commitment to family values and creating positive experiences beyond the car-buying process.
Supporting Local Schools & Giving Back
We’re proud to support local schools in our area by investing in students, educators, athletic programs, and academic initiatives. From sponsorships and donations to showing up for school events, we are always looking for meaningful ways to give back to the next generation.We’ve also had the incredible honor of gifting the 2024 and 2025 Teachers of the Year with a brand-new vehicle lease — a small way to say thank you to the educators who make a lasting impact in our community.
Because strong communities begin with strong schools — and we’re committed to both.
We are proud supporters of Family Connection, Local Food Banks, and helping make a meaningful impact in our area.
