About LAcarGUY

The LAcarGUY family of dealerships has been a Los Angeles fixture since "Sully" Sullivan opened its first dealership, Volkswagen Santa Monica in 1964. Today, LAcarGUY includes 10 award-winning dealerships throughout Los Angeles and a state-of-the-art body shop.

Known for its outstanding customer service, long-term relationships, and word-of-mouth marketing, LAcarGUY is the first choice when shopping for a new or used car.

As a local family-owned business, LAcarGUY is recognized as a prominent supporter of community events, charitable organizations and environmental causes. As the number one hybrid dealer in the world, LAcarGUY is proud to lead the industry to a greener automotive future.

LAcarGUY In The Community

Community involvement has always been a priority for the LAcarGUY family, whether it's stepping in to save a school's art program (McKinley Elementary School), donating funds to charitable organizations such as Cystic Fibrosis , Big Brothers Big Sisters  and Richstone Family Center or supporting cultural events (Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series, Manhattan Beach Pumpkin Race, Hermosa Beach Music Festival).

Environmental Stewardship

Committed to changing an "environmentally-challenged" industry and protecting future generations, LAcarGUY is active in local environmental programs and initiatives. In an effort to encourage adoption of electric vehicles, LAcarGUY recently became the first automotive dealer in the country to offer electric charging stations at its dealerships that are open to the general public. In 2010, LacarGUY introduced the new position, Manager of the Environment, for the sole purpose of helping LAcarGUY reduce its carbon footprint through employee education and infrastructure changes. On Earth Day 2010, the company launched LAcarGUY.com/green  featuring its green vehicle inventory as well as green technology news and updates on LAcarGUY's internal sustainability efforts. Mike Sullivan, LAcarGUY's president, serves on the Regional Board of Directors for Global Green and the Advisory Board for the Environmental Media Association, and just agreed to sponsor Heal the Bay's prominent Annual Beach Report Card.

Over 30 members of the LAcarGUY family volunteered, along with the  Tree Musketeers, the nation's first youth-led environmental organization, planted more than 140 trees in El Segundo on March 12th in celebration of Arbor Day.

Arbor Day  is designated, nationwide, to encourage tree planting, care and celebration. Each of the trees planted on Arbor Day will generate $163,000 worth of oxygen, air pollutant control, water recycling and soil erosion prevention, while sequestering 2.5 tons of CO2 over the next five years.

As leaders and believers in the Green Movement, we put not only our sweat equity into the event, but our checkbook as well.  LAcarGUY was proud to be a financial partner in this years event.
