While known for their motto ‘Locally owned, locally committed’ and the ever-popular ‘I wanna see ya in a Kia,’ Taylor Automotive Family serves up more than just cars for northwest Ohio.
Inspired by his parents’ giving nature, Steve Taylor II wants to help lift the community through the dealership’s business and philanthropic efforts, but aims to prioritize building relationships with the organizations and individuals they support.
“It’s not just writing a check, it’s seeing what else we can do,” said Mr. Taylor. “Really, what we’ve tried to do with a lot of these organizations is create a partnership.”
Often done in private, the Taylor Automotive Family feels it’s now ‘time for Taylor’ to share their efforts with hopes of being an example of community service thereby inspiring others also to adopt a nature of generosity.
Tom Cole, Taylor’s community outreach coordinator and six community ambassadors pound the pavement, seeking ways to get involved and give back to the communities where they live, work, and play. Out of Taylor dealerships in Toledo, Perrysburg, Findlay, and Lima, the ambassadors initiate connections and foster collaborations.
