Our Story
The Mossy family entered the automotive industry over 70 years ago in New Orleans and later moved to Houston. In the mid-1980s, our president, Phil Mossy expanded the family business into San Diego with the purchase of the Nissan dealership in National City. At the time, the dealership was ranked eighth of eight by the Nissan Corporation. Under his leadership, Mossy Nissan National City soon became number one in volume for Nissan nationwide. Soon thereafter, Phil was joined by his brother Peter Mossy, and in just a few short years, Mossy has grown from one dealership - with approximately 200 employees - to where we are today with fifteen (seven Nissan, one Ford, one Toyota, one Honda, one Volkswagen, one Fiat/Alfa Romeo, one Mitsubishi, and one Infiniti) dealerships and approximately 2,000 employees. We attribute this growth to the philosophy of the Mossy Family: all people deserve to be treated fairly and equally – with integrity and professionalism. Mossy employees are treated with the same dignity and respect, and the members of the Mossy team are proud to be associated with such a company.
