About Dean Cooley GM
Proudly Serving Dauphin & the Parkland Since 1995
For more than 30 years, Dean Cooley GM has been part of the Dauphin and Parkland community. We're a family owned Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealership built around our customers, our team and the communities we call home.
Our Story
It Started Here in 1995
When Dean Cooley purchased Martin Motors in May 1995, he wasn't simply looking for a business. He and his wife Karen were looking for a community where they could raise their family.
Dauphin became that place.
More than 30 years later, Dean Cooley GM remains family owned and rooted in the same community that welcomed the Cooley family in 1995.
More Than a Place to Buy a Vehicle

National Recognition, Earned in Dauphin
2024 CADA Laureate for Retail Operations
In 2024, Dean Cooley was honoured with the CADA Laureate Award for Retail Operations, one of the highest honours a Canadian automotive dealer can receive during their career.
Dealers are nominated by their industry peers, with finalists independently evaluated by Western University's Ivey Business School. The Retail Operations category recognizes exceptional achievement within an individual dealership.
But we don't view this as an individual accomplishment.
The recognition reflects the people who have built Dean Cooley GM together and the customers and communities who have supported us along the way.
A History of Excellence
Dean Cooley GM has also achieved General Motors Triple Crown status twice, recognizing performance in both sales volume and customer satisfaction.
The People Behind Dean Cooley GM
Our dealership has grown for more than 30 years because of the people behind it. From long-standing team members with decades of experience to some of the Murray Auto Group's top-performing professionals, our team brings experience, ambition and a genuine commitment to the customers they serve.
Proud to Be Part of the Parkland
- For more than 30 years, Dean Cooley GM has called the Parkland home. Supporting our community means looking beyond Dauphin itself to the smaller towns, organizations, teams and volunteers that make this region what it is.
- Our involvement changes from year to year, but you'll find us supporting the things that bring people together and create opportunities close to home.
Youth, Sport & Recreation
From hockey, baseball and curling to golf, cycling, rodeo and other local recreation, we believe in helping people of all ages stay involved in the activities they love.
Community, Culture & Agriculture
The Parkland is shaped by its agricultural roots, diverse cultures and strong community traditions. We're proud to support local celebrations, agricultural organizations, cultural events and the community spaces that keep those traditions going.
Local Causes & Community Projects
Schools, charities, service organizations, community facilities, trails and grassroots projects all contribute to a stronger Parkland. We support local initiatives that make a meaningful difference where our customers and employees live.
