Partners with our Community

At Kenosha Toyota our overarching vision is, “To be so effective that we are able to be helpful to others,” and we carry that vision over to the community where we live and work. We believe it is both our gift and our responsibility to be good neighbors and partners with the communities which provide us our success. We are excited to engage with the Kenosha community.

Our History

Kenosha Toyota is excited to open our doors to the community in early September 2021. We are on a mission to do things differently than other automotive dealers by focusing our efforts on providing unmatched quality automotive products and service and implementing the ‘Best Price Philosophy’. We strive to provide a more relaxed, honest and enjoyable car buying experience. We aim 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.

Rydell Values

Honesty and 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.

Individual Responsibility and Accountability

We believe that we are responsible to satisfy the needs of our customers for all our products and services. Individual accountability for our own performance and for the quality of our products will demonstrate to our customers that we are enthusiastic about them and really care.

Unconditional Dedication to Excellence

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.

Our People

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.

Ongoing Improvement

We believe in not accepting the status quo, in constant improvement, and in the value of ongoing education in any form. We believe in providing opportunity for personal, professional and organizational growth within our Company.

Sales Consultant

The atmosphere at Kenosha Toyota is one of the best I’ve ever worked in. My coworkers are always helpful and willing to help me grow to become a better Sales Consultant.

Jackie Sanchez

Controller

I started my career in the dealership industry during the early 90’s and have worked my way up through various general office positions. Now, after nearly 30 years of dealership experience, I am excited to bring my extensive knowledge to the team here at Kenosha Toyota.

Steve Brandon

General Manager

I started my dealership career in the fall of 2003 at a Buick Pontiac GMC store in the Twin Cities. For the next 13 years of my career, I worked at various stores in the dealer group, always chasing opportunities as a Finance Manager, Finance Director, and Sales Manager. In the fall of 2016, I had the opportunity to work at a Toyota store in northern Minnesota. I spent almost 5 years there as both the Used Car Manager and the New Car Manager and then ultimately made the decision to come to work for Kenosha Toyota and take on an all-new challenge as our General Sales Manager.
