In their own words

“Park Place Dealerships partners with people who want the best automotive experience in purchasing, driving or trading their vehicles, which are some of their most valuable assets,” says president Neil Grossman.

About the culture

Almost all of the company's managers — 98 percent — were promoted from within. Full-time employees get discounts on products and services, including work on personal cars, parts, accessories and buying a vehicle.

Employees say

"I love the camaraderie, the family culture, and how Park Place truly cares about the employees."

"Everyone's mission here is the same, which is making the client happy and satisfied and making sure we all do our job in order to do that."

"I enjoy coming to work because of the people I work with, the benefits provided and the pay. I enjoy what I do."

Good works

Park Place has worked with Salvation Army, Red Cross, Leukemia Texas, Emma’s House and Community Partners of Dallas-Wish Tree. Its dealerships select community outreach opportunities near them.

Fun facts

Park Place's Lexus dealership group won the Malcolm Baldrige Award in 2007 and was the first auto dealer to ever win the award.
