Group 1 Automotive

We are a Houston-based, Fortune 300 automotive retailer. Since our initial public offering in October 1997, Group 1 has grown to become the third-largest dealership group in the United States and has expanded into the United Kingdom. The company achieved this success through a strategy that leverages management experience and emphasizes geographic and brand diversity, interrelated revenue streams, operational efficiencies, and the prudent deployment of capital. Our Core Values: Integrity – We conduct ourselves with the highest level of ethics both personally and professionally when we sell to and perform service for our customers without compromising our honesty. Transparency – We promote open and honest communication between each other and our customers. Professionalism – We set our standards high so that we can exceed expectations and strive for perfection in everything we do. Teamwork – We put the interest of the group first, before our individual interests, as we know that success only comes when we work together.
