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.


LAcarGUY And USC Trojans Score With Touchdown To A Cure

After thirteen hard-fought games and 56 touchdowns, the Trojan/LAcarGUY partnership generated $15,900 toward fighting Cystic Fibrosis as a contribution to Pipeline To A Cure from the LA-area Family of Dealerships. The funds go toward education and research.

"Our involvement with Pipeline To A Cure, USC Trojans and the many proud people who are striving to eliminate Cystic Fibrosis, allowing children struck with the disease to live easier, is so important" announced Mike Sullivan, President of LAcarGUY. "The nearly $16,000 that was raised from Trojan touchdowns will go a long way to help. We need to bring more awareness and fund raising to help in the fight against what essentially takes the breath, and ultimately the lives, of many youth".

Studies and real-life experience show that when people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis are at coastal areas, or even better in the water, their breathing eases when the salt-rich air and water help draw fluid from the tissue helping to eliminate the heavy mucus build-up in the lungs and digestive tract.

LAcarGUY thanks the USC Trojans for taking part in the important efforts…
