Community Partnership

Our commitment to the community of Norfolk goes beyond our desire to have satisfied customers but to be good neighbors and benefactors. Over the past five years, through your patronage of our business, we have been able to give back to the community in many different ways. Norfolk Motor Company proudly provides charitable contributions to support our community including:

In February we do the Cars4Kids event to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. During that month, we contribute $50 from the sale of every vehicle to St. Jude. Last February, we gave them a check for $6,000.00

Every December we hold a truck of toys campaign to collect toys for needy families. This year we collected 3 truckloads of toys and delivered them to the Salvation Army for distribution.

Our History

Norfolk Motor Company has been open for business since July 2007, but the dealership has been proudly serving the Norfolk community since 1979. On a mission to do things differently than other automotive dealers, at Norfolk Motor Company we focus our efforts on providing unmatched quality automotive products and service. We implemented the ‘Best Price Philosophy’ and 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.

The dealership is owned by Andy Swanson. Andy is very proud of dealerships’ culture which he largely credits to his partnership with The Rydell Company. The Rydell Company was founded in 1954 and has grown into a group of 85 stores in 17 states! Their 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:

1. Customer Enthusiasm
2. Employee Satisfaction
3. Financial Performance
4. Market Effectiveness
5. 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.
