Group 1 Automotive Foundation

Arguably, the biggest impact Group 1 Automotive and its affiliated car dealers make is behind the scenes and has nothing to do with the sale and service of vehicles. Initially created in 2005 to help the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Foundation has grown and now supports fellow employees facing hard times.

What the Foundation did was create a domino effect that connected its dealerships, including World Toyota. With the enthusiastic green light from its parent company, World Toyota keeps philanthropy at the forefront of its operation. That, among many other attractive features, is what sets Group 1 Automotive dealers apart from the others.
