About DCD Automotive/Nucar

The Nucar Automotive Group, part of DCD Automotive Holdings, has grown from a single dealership in northern New Hampshire into a network of 30 locations across New England and the Mid-Atlantic. The Nucar story is rooted in decades of hard work, pioneering spirit, and a commitment to serving customers with integrity. Founded by the father-son team of Dan and Chris Dagesse, Nucar has expanded to offer new vehicles from brands such as Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Ram, Toyota, and Volkswagen, alongside a vast selection of quality used cars. The Nucar Network connects customers to this extensive inventory, offering unparalleled choice and convenience. Dan Dagesse’s career in automotive began with a single dealership in New Hampshire. As neighboring dealerships closed, he seized the opportunity to expand, developing innovative sales models that would redefine the dealership experience. By combining multiple franchises under one roof at Berlin City, he created a unique approach that catered to the small but dedicated local market. This innovative concept, which encouraged customers to browse multiple brands in one location, quickly earned a loyal following.Together, Dan and Chris transformed the dealership experience with new ideas like luxury amenities, showrooms with Starbucks, and boutique food options, making each visit enjoyable and welcoming. Dan and Chris next turned their attention to Delaware, where they quickly revitalized Lewes Auto Mall Chevrolet Buick GMC. This success led to the opening of the first Nucar location, Nucar Chevrolet Mazda, marking the start of the Nucar brand as we know it today. Recognizing the need for a family-oriented, customer-first dealership experience, they steadily expanded the Nucar Network across New England. They rebranded their growing network under the Nucar name in 2019, cementing Nucar’s reputation as a trusted automotive provider with a commitment to value, service, and community.
