Our History

In October of 2016, Grants Pass Toyota was established and opened for business. The store was purchased from the Wheeler Family. Wheeler Toyota was the first original store in the state of Oregon. As Grants Pass Toyota, our goal has been to be an industry leader in providing unmatched quality automotive products and services while continually striving to meet the changing needs of our guests. We implemented the ‘Best Price Philosophy’, which means no haggle and no hassle, in order to provide a more relaxed, honest, and enjoyable car buying experience. It is our mission to exceed our customers’ and employees’ expectations, maintaining their loyalty for a lifetime. We recognize the greatest resource we have is our employees and we never take that for granted. We strive to fill open positions within our ranks first, creating career paths for many of our employees regardless of where they start in our company.

We are very proud of our culture which largely comes from being a part of the Rydell Auto Group. The Rydell Auto Group was founded in 1954 and has grown into a group of 85 stores in 17 states! Our Founder, Leonard Rydell, had many strongly held business and personal philosophies that served him well. These philosophies, known as “Leonardism’s”, help guide us through our daily business and personal decisions. Some of our favorite “Leonardism’s” are…

“Never take advantage of a customer, even if you can.”
“Put yourself in a position to take care of as many people as possible.”
“Seek excellence, and the rest will follow.”

Rydell’s Philosophy

The Rydell philosophy is based on five key areas that we believe are critical to business success:

Customer Enthusiasm
Employee Satisfaction
Financial Performance
Market Effectiveness
Ongoing Improvement

Our philosophy holds that each area is of equal importance and we continually strive to reach a level of excellence in each area. However, in any planning or decision making process, or in any situation of seeming conflict or contradiction among the five critical areas, Customer Enthusiasm will always carry the most weight.

Our Values

Honesty & Integrity

We believe that all decisions are to be made with integrity. Leadership is setting good examples for others to follow, expecting as much from yourself as from others.

We believe that there is no place for mediocrity and halfhearted efforts. We accept personal responsibility for overcoming obstacles and being the very best. We actively choose to excel in every aspect of our personal and professional lives.

Cooperation & Communication

Close mutual support of one another is a fundamental tenet of ours. We value open communication and encourage new ideas, realizing that teamwork produces a better employee work environment and enthusiastic customers and suppliers.

We have nothing of greater value than our people. We respect the uniqueness of every individual and believe that such an attitude will build a team of confident, creative members possessing a high degree of initiative, self-respect and self-discipline.

Here’s what Brenda had to say about working at Grants Pass Toyota: “I can honestly say that coming to work at Grants Pass Toyota puts a smile on my face every day. Greeting coworkers on my way in sets the mood, and since everyone is friendly, it is always a good one! In the four years I have worked with the team in the business office, I have learned skills that complement my education and allow me to be efficient in my position as Assistant Accountant. I completed my Bachelor’s degree while working full time and the supervisor was happy to adjust the schedule to suit my educational needs. I am also proud of Grants Pass Toyota for our level of community involvement with donations and participation in local events as a company, as well as the willingness of employees to support each other and other employees’ children whenever school fundraisers come around. Grants Pass Toyota makes me feel valued, both as an employee and as an individual. I can’t think of a better company to work for.”
