The Dealership was moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1950 where it remained until it was closed in 1969. A second John Hine Pontiac opened on El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego in 1957. The dealership moved to its current San Diego location in Mission Valley in 1965 and continued to sell Pontiacs until this storied line was discontinued by General Motors in 2010. John Hine Mazda opened in 1970 and is one of Mazda's Inaugural Elite Dealerships. And now, four decades after establishing John Hine in San Diego, we set our roots in the Temecula Valley Auto Mall and opened John Hine Temecula Mazda in 2007.
