SALT LAKE CITY -

The Larry H. Miller Automotive Group announced late last week that it is hosting a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new Chrysler dealership in Albuquerque, N.M., on Tuesday.

The event at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque is slated for 1 p.m. MST and will include LHM Group of Companies’ owner Gail Miller and chief executive officer Greg Miller.

Also, local dignitaries will be on hand, including University of New Mexico men’s basketball coach Steve Alford. Dave Englen — Chrysler’s Phoenix business center director — will be in attendance as well.

“We are pleased to expand our offerings to the residents of the greater Albuquerque area,” said Tony Schnurr, president of the LHM Automotive Group. “ We look forward to continuing to earn business and provide our customers with a good value and a trusted place to do business."

The group has 40 locations throughout seven Western states and includes 22 different brands. It has five stores in Albuquerque alone.

“We are extremely happy to be able to continue to bring the Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram line to our customers and friends in this market,” said Dave Montemorano, the new store’s general manager.

“The tremendous opportunity to offer local consumers four leading auto brands at one location is an asset to both our organization as well as our customers," he added.
