Our History

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 one of the largest privately held dealership groups in the United States.

Our founder, Leonard Rydell, had many strongly held business and personal philosophies that served him well, and are models that we live by and use to guide us through our daily business and personal decisions. At Rhinelander Auto Center, we operate on the belief that our people come before profit. We believe our mission should go further than letters on the wall, making it an invitation to be lived out every day.

Rydell's Vision & Mission

Rydell’s Vision: To be so effective that we are able to be helpful to others.

Rydell’s Mission:

Industry Leader: Our goal is to be an industry leader in providing unmatched quality automotive products and services.

Meeting Needs: We will constantly strive to meet the changing needs of our customers. Our aim is to provide an atmosphere that encourages employee teamwork, integrity and excellence.

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.

Being Good Community Citizens

We give willingly to and are actively involved in the support of our communities, because they provide us our success.

Testimonials

Debbie Sampolinski

Internet Sales

I started at Rhinelander Toyota in summer 2016 as a sales consultant, and have since been moved to our internet sales department where I sell products for our GM and Toyota store. What I love most about Rhinelander Auto Center is the people I work with and the guests I help every day. The sky is the limit here, and I absolutely love it!

New Car Inventory & Sales Manager

I started at Rhinelander Auto Center as a GM sales consultant in 2015. At the time, I had no idea that this job would turn into a career so quickly. I went from sales to the GM new car inventory manager and sales manager in the matter of three years. I can credit that to the investment Rhinelander Auto Center has in its employees through continuing education and hands-on learning experiences like driving new Corvettes at the Las Vegas Performance Driving School! We operate based on the philosophy that we are ‘to be so effective that we are able to be helpful to others,’ and of course that shows through our guest satisfaction, but you quickly learn that that philosophy is also manifested through the company culture. Rhinelander Auto Center values each individual for who they are, but also highly values honesty and integrity, individual responsibility and accountability, unconditional dedication to excellence, cooperation and communication and the desire for ongoing improvement. We are pushed to our potential to not only be a great employee, but to be an even better person who supports the communities that have supported us for so many years.
