There are many great groups in the automotive retail world but Ron Tonkin Automotive in Portland Oregon is one of the best dealer groups I have ever worked with. Three generations of Auto enthusiasts surrounding themselves with fantastic franchises, enthusiastic employees and powerful processes.
The tenure of the General Management staff and their ability to surround themselves with competent staffs has earned their group many recognition and awards on an individual and group level for over five decades. Not only recognized by the automotive manufacturers but also the state of Oregon as one of the best places to work in the state, Ron Tonkin is definitely one of the best!
I'm proud to have been associated with Ron Tonkin Automotive for over ten years and look forward to the future.

I've heard lots about the Tonkin group from my dealings with Dealer Peak. What makes Ron Tonkin such a great person to work for? Brent, you must see a lot being with the Cardone Group. How about a profile pic? Grant would be proud!!

I've consulted with dealer groups such as Auto Nation - Van Tuyl - Sonic - Findlay and others as they all have a method to their madness. I truly think Auto Nation has tapped into the Power of numbers in their methods of group advertising and internal dealer networking. They also originated the used vehicle bucket systems and used vehicle trading process that maximizes vehicle sales and profits. Van Tuyl is tops at holding his management accountable with a very regimented customer logging and follow up system. Sonic is very in tune with Internet process and accountability. The Findlay group simply runs on pure heart and has some of the absolute best leaders in the Industry - Rich Abajian and John Barr. Last but not least, our very dear friend Chris Saraceno of Kelly Automotive Group stands in a class of their own - Top Notch. True leadership and trend setting from the best and the brightest who collaborate on dealerELITE- Cheers!!! B.C.

Did an article a few months ago on Auto Nation, seems like a well run organization though I have no personal experiences with them. The group that I came into the business with, and have the utmost regard for their honesty and ethics is Hendrick Automotive Group.
The tenure of her management, as well as their in depth training from AFIP to corporate training is the best I have ever personally experienced. The simple fact that I always felt this Co. always cared for their individual personnel gives them the highest ratings in my book.
When John and his twin daughters passed, I had been with both him and Rick a couple of weeks before in Charlotte. The outpouring of compassion and condolences among our dealership was every bit heartfelt and sincere. This was a family, and we miss our fellow members.
God Bless
