For over nine decades, Forbes Todd Automotive Group has been a trusted name in the automotive industry, delivering top-notch service and unparalleled customer satisfaction. As a fourth-generation family business, the company has a rich history rooted in a passion for automobiles and a commitment to excellence.

1st Generation:
The journey of Forbes Todd Automotive Group began with Mr. Schneider, the visionary founder of the business. In 1932, immediately after World War I, he embarked on a remarkable entrepreneurial endeavor by selling Ford vehicles door to door, laying the foundation for what would become a lasting legacy in the automotive world.

2nd Generation:
During World War II, the business faced a temporary hiatus as Mr. Schneider’s son, closed the dealerships to serve as a bomber in the United States Air Force. His dedication to his country exemplified the values that continue to drive the Forbes Todd Automotive Group today.

3rd Generation:
Mr. Schneider’s Grand-Son-in-Law, Grand-Daughter, and Grand-son, represent the third generation of this family-owned business. They have maintained the company's commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

4th Generation: Current Generation
The torch of responsibility has been passed on to the fourth generation, Mr. Schneider’s Great-Grandsons, who are actively involved in shaping the future of Forbes Todd Automotive Group.

5th Generation: As the business looks to the future, its possible that the fifth generation, represented by Mr. Schneider’s Great-Great-Grandsons/Daughters, may carry forward the family legacy, ensuring that Forbes Todd Automotive Group continues to thrive for generations to come.
