Our philosophies.

What we believe in.

We believe in an open, collaborative approach to all aspects of our operations. We work hard to create a customer-centric environment for a smooth, transparent, and easy sales and service experience. While also empowering our employees and supporting outstanding individual achievements, ethical business practices and a fun and passionate workplace. As members of the Summit Automotive Partners family, our employees have access to some of the most advanced resources and tools in the automotive industry. Our dealership management goal is to foster a positive work environment, a focus on teamwork and a drive for innovative solutions. More importantly, we understand that our employees are the foundation of our success. Without them, we could not deliver the unrivaled ownership experience that customers have come to expect from Summit Automotive Partners’ dealerships. From human resource development to supportive management to opportunities for advancement, our employees know that when they work for a Summit Automotive Partners dealership, they get the very best.

Humility.

Humility starts with selflessness, doing what is best for your team and your company, before yourself. We are respectful, truthful, and confident but never arrogant.

We seek and provide honest feedback and are open to learn from our mistakes and successes in equal measure.

Humility does not mean saying everything that’s on our minds, it means speaking with good intention and always acting with Integrity.

Integrity.

Integrity is meaning what we say and saying what we mean. We strive to do what’s right, even when no one is looking. We want to gain our customers trust, and the only way to do that is with fair, honest actions all the time.

We don’t make commitments we can’t honor or promises we can’t keep. We want our customers to feel like time with us is more than a transaction, it’s a positive encounter.  An experience that makes them feel served by people who are genuinely Passionate about providing the best experience possible.

Passion.

Because no one wakes up in the morning and says, “I want to be mediocre today.” We make some big promises to our customers and our stakeholders, and we can’t deliver on those promises without passion in our work and our processes. We love what we do and approach our job every day with energy, excitement, determination, and drive to enhance the customer experience.
