Nielsen Automotive Group began with a single dealership in Rockaway, NJ, in 1982; however, the story really begins in the 1970s, when Eric Nielsen began his automotive career as a lot porter. Eric's eye for detail, commitment to excellence, and unwavering loyalty helped him quickly climb the ranks and eventually land the role of dealer principal at Dover Chrysler Plymouth. Eric's values immediately helped him impress manufacturers, vendors and most importantly, customers and he built a sterling reputation that allowed him to expand his reach. The organization grew to five locations in the next 30 years and nearly tripled in the dozen years that followed to 14 dealerships in 2024.

Eric and the Nielsen Automotive Group have received several industry honors along the way thanks to his people-first approach, culminating in Eric being named New Jersey's Time Magazine Dealer of the Year in 2018. "The most rewarding aspect of my retail automotive career is being able to provide a great work environment for my employees. One in which they can advance and provide for their families." In addition to building relationships and setting his employees up for success, Eric has been a pillar of the community. His charitable involvement is far-reaching, including in support of the March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, St. Clare's Foundation, several pet rescue and adoption services, and many more. This spirit of service is as strong as ever within Nielsen Automotive Group.
