About Us

Volkswagen dealership in Santa Rosa CA

Can you believe that the Hansel name has been serving California since 1851? Well, we have. It all started with Joseph Hansel selling horse-drawn carriages in the middle of the nineteenth century. His son took over the business and eventually upgraded into the automotive world in 1901, which grew into the Hansel Auto Group by 1961 with Walter Hansel. With over 150 years of business, one thing is clear, we have certainly kept up with the times, and now we are proud to bring you models from Volkswagen.

We have an impressive selection right here in Santa Rosa, and we serve all the surrounding communities as well, including Petaluma, St Helena, and countless others. We are still a family-owned business under the leadership of Henry Hansel and his son Justin Hansel, and we strive to treat every customer with the dignity and respect that they deserve. What’s more, we have made it our mission to give back to this wonderful community.
