About

Lee Johnson Auto Family opened in 1933 as a Chevrolet dealer in downtown Kirkland under the name East Side Motors. The Lee Johnson Auto Family, now with 7 locations, is proud to still be locally owned and operated.

Since 1933 our philosophy has always been simple - treat our employees well and in turn they will provide excellent service to our valuable customers.

Operating a successful business, enables us to give back to the communities we serve, which is satisfying and the most impactful contribution we make.

Today, the group is led by third generation brothers, Tod and Brett Johnson, as well as several partners, and has expanded to include 7 locations with multiple brands, including Chevrolet, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai , Genesis, Nissan, a second Chevrolet store, a second Mazda store, plus RV sales and service, Autoright Motors in Bothell and Autoright Motors in Lake Stevens, as well as Eastside Licensing.

When you purchase a vehicle you will DRIVE WITH CONFIDENCE - the LJ WAY!  We include a Lifetime Warranty on all new vehicles, as well as a 6 month / 6000 mile Warranty on most pre-owned vehicles.  Plus, we offer a 3-day Return/Exchange option on all New vehicles and 7-day Exchange option on used -- we want our customers to be satisfied and we stand behind the vehicles we sell.
