We believe that being an active member of the community not only benefits others, but it also strengthens our company as a whole.

Annual Santa Night
One of the largest events we hold each year is our Santa Night. Santa Night is a free event that provides family fun, activities, and pictures with Santa. It started as a small event for families to be able to get their pictures made with Santa at no cost. From there it has grown into an event that brings over 1000 visitors each year. Our Elves setup activity stations around the dealership and we have food trucks outside so that you can enjoy a fun night out as you wait for your turn for your pictures with Santa! The event continues to grow each year and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
Season of Giving
Each September-December we have our Season of Giving. During the Season of giving we will donate a portion of each vehicle sold per month to a local non-profit organization. United Way of Marshall County, CAJA of Marshall County, and Second Chance Shelter are a few examples of the organizations that we work hard to support. We donate over $25,000 during each Season of Giving, but we also donate our time to volunteer to support these organizations.
Be the Change
Sometimes giving isn't enough. We work diligently with local leaders and local schools to lead the charge on a bright future for our community. We are heavily involved in the Albertville Chamber of Commerce, which offers opportunities to connect with other businesses and leaders in order to better understand the needs of our community. We actively engage in working community events, demonstrating our commitment to the community. Whether it's a charity run, a local fair, or a school fundraising event, you'll often see us right there in the thick of things, supporting and contributing to the vibrancy of Marshall County.
