Driving Northern Michigan Forward Since 1898
For over four generations, Brown Motors has been more than a place to buy a car. We’ve been part of your family’s milestones, your first snowstorm adventures, your up-north weekends, and your everyday drives around Petoskey and beyond.
Since 1898, we’ve proudly remained locally owned, earning the trust of our neighbors by doing business with honesty, delivering quality vehicles, and standing behind every service we provide. We know that a vehicle is more than transportation — it’s how you care for your family, grow your business, and live your life with confidence.
Today, we continue to honor our heritage while looking forward, offering everything from new and pre-owned vehicles to heavy-duty fleet service, mobile repair, and 24/7 EV charging to keep you moving when it matters most.
At Brown Motors, you’re not just a customer; you’re family. Let’s take the road ahead, together.
