How We Care For Our Team

“We have nothing of higher value than our people.”


Mankato Motor Co. opened its doors on January 5, 2009. Our current owner, Brian Taylor, purchased the store from Dale Schmitt, who had purchased the store from the Rydell Corporation. We continue to follow the Rydell values and philosophies.



Since then we have continued to grow, with three different locations and over 140 employees.   Our team members offer outstanding service, and because of that Mankato Motors has won awards for: Best of Mankato in New Vehicles since 2013, Used Vehicles since 2015, and Best of Mankato for Auto Repair in 2021. We value our employees just as much as we value our customers.


We know that we are only here because of you, so we strive to go above and beyond to foster the very best work environment you've ever experienced. Whether you're looking to start your career or advance it, you can find your perfect job here at our company.

Partners with Our Community

We take the role of being a good employer, a good neighbor, and an engaged and active member of the community to heart. Our team recognizes the value of a healthy, strong and safe community, and works to maintain these goals through financial contributions as well as volunteering.

Every year at Mankato Motors, we pick a month and a local organization or charity we want to support. During that month, we donate $100 per vehicle sale to the local organization. It's a great way to give back, and the customers appreciate it as well!

Earlier this year we worked with another local dealership and ECHO Food Shelf. Customers and team members donated food and supplies, and all together we donated 1,054 lbs of food and $1000 dollars to ECHO. A job well done, and lots of help given to families in need!

Once a year, we have the American Red Cross bring their Blood Mobile to our store. Both customers and team members are able to donate blood,  and whoever donates gets a gift certificate for a free oil change!
