Pharr Nissan of Chesterton was built on more than a love for the automotive business. It was built on a lifelong connection to Northwest Indiana and a dream of one day owning a dealership in the place I call home.

I was born and raised in LaPorte County and have spent my life connected to the Region. This is where my roots are. It’s where I grew up, where so many people invested in me, and where the communities around me helped shape the person and business leader I am today.

After spending my career in the automotive industry, I always dreamed of having the opportunity to come home, own a dealership, and build something that could give back to the communities that gave so much to me.

Located in Chesterton, we’re proud to serve customers throughout Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicagoland area, including Chesterton, Valparaiso, Portage, Burns Harbor, Michigan City, LaPorte, Hobart, Merrillville and the surrounding communities.

We know there are plenty of places to buy or service a vehicle throughout Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland. That’s why we don’t believe your business should ever be taken for granted.

We intend to earn it.

Whether you’re shopping for a new Nissan, searching for the right pre-owned car, truck, or SUV, exploring financing options, or trusting us with the service and maintenance of your vehicle, our goal is simple:

Cars may be what we sell, but people are what drive our business.

We believe great dealerships are built by great people who genuinely care about the customers they serve. That’s why we’re committed to creating a culture where our team is valued, customers are respected, and relationships matter more than transactions.

We want to listen before we sell. Communicate clearly. Respect your time. Follow through on our promises. And be there long after the sale.

Our team is guided by five simple principles:

Those principles spell PHARR, but more importantly, they represent the standard we expect from ourselves every day.

For me, owning a dealership in the Region comes with a responsibility that extends far beyond selling cars.

I want Pharr Nissan of Chesterton to be a business that supports local schools, youth programs, organizations, families, and causes throughout the communities that raised me.

I want our employees to be proud of where they work. I want our customers to know who they’re doing business with. And I want this dealership to become a trusted part of Northwest Indiana for generations to come.

That’s what Region Roots. Community Focused. People Driven. means to us.

It’s not just a tagline.

We invite you to visit us at 220 Verplank Rd, Chesterton, IN 46304 and experience a different approach to buying and servicing your vehicle.
