As a fourth-generation family-owned business, we recognize that the key to sustainable growth is having talented individuals on our team!
Beginning with our Ford/Lincoln dealership back in 1942, the Auffenberg Dealer Group now includes 8 dealerships across the greater O’Fallon, Belleville, and Shiloh areas.
Renowned for our wonderful selection, we feature brands such as Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Nissan, Mazda, Ram and Volkswagen.
ASSET is a paid internship program that allows students to earn while they learn. Students alternate for eight weeks in the classroom and eight weeks with us as their sponsoring Ford dealer over a two-year period. At the end of the two years, they earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree and valuable in-dealer experience.
This program is offered by Cuyahoga Community College! Learn more about it here.
The Ford Veteran Careers Program is a 24-month U.S. Department of Labor and GI Bill® approved registered apprenticeship. Every hired candidate will begin their new Ford Technician career with full-time employment with us. Once on board at the dealership, the candidate will complete 8 weeks of eLearning and practical exercises prior to attending a 4-week intensive Instructor Led Course at a Ford Service Training Center.
Once the training is complete, the candidate's learning will continue with selected activities and on-the-job training at the dealership. Successful participants will become a certified Ford Chassis Technician.

Team members across different dealership locations take time to connect with one another on both a professional and personal level.
We have an annual employee picnic where we rent out GCS Credit Union Ballpark for a company softball game which provides great family entertainment for employees. Additionally, we host the Auffenberg Sunset Concert Series which is a free event for the community. Another initiative that we are proud of is the Hoyleton Family Services. We have 300 families that donate gifts during Christmas time, as well as families involved in a back-to-school drive with the goal of gathering supplies. Auffenberg also recently hosted the local chamber of commerce’s after-hours event!
Additionally, we recognize each staff member on their birthday and their workiversary every year. We also reward staff for going above and beyond for each other and their customers!
