Dan Reineke Nominated for 2022 TIME Dealer of the Year
November 10, 2021

The nomination of Daniel Reineke, vice president of Reineke Family Dealerships, a Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Jeep, Lincoln, Nissan and Ram dealership group in Tiffin, Ohio, for the 2022 TIME Dealer of the Year award was announced today by TIME.

Reineke is one of a select group of 47 dealer nominees from across the country who will be honored at the 105th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas on March 11, 2022. The announcement of this year’s annual award was made by Viktoria Degtar, Global Chief Revenue Officer, TIME, and Doug Timmerman, president of Dealer Financial Services, Ally Financial.

The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile industry’s most prestigious and highly coveted honors.  Recipients are among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service.

“The single most rewarding part of my career has been the pride I have in our family,” nominee Reineke said.  “Our shared values of hard work, dedication and success bind us together.  And at our core is a commitment to one another, to our employees and to our community.”

“Building his business from the ground up, our father taught us the importance of hard work, commitment and caring for family – which for us, extends well beyond the Reineke family to all employees of our dealerships,” he said.  “I saw the sense of community my father created within his business, and from those very first days, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.”

His goal was to eventually partner with his two brothers, expand the business and broaden market share.  Today, he owns the auto group with brothers Tom and Bill, and the Reineke Family Dealerships encompasses eight new-car stores and two RV dealerships, employing 400 people across northwest Ohio.

In the civic arena, Reineke currently serves the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership (TSEP); the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce; East Green Foundation; and Tiffin University (board of trustees), to name a few.

The Reineke Family Dealerships also contribute to numerous organizations and nonprofits, including Tiffin Youth Football; East Green Concert Series; Vanguard-Sentinel Career & Technology Centers Drug-Free Clubs of America; Trunk or Treat community events; Veterans Car Show; Marathon Center for the Performing Arts; and many others.

“Over the last three years, Reineke Family Dealerships have invested more than $593,000 in local charities and activities that help enrich the lives of the people in our community,” Reineke said.  “Our business truly is only as successful as the individuals we serve.”

Reineke was nominated for the TIME Dealer of the Year award by Zach Doran, president of the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association.  He and his wife, Nikki, have two children.
