Since 1979, the Taylor Automotive Family has prioritized giving back and investing in the community that has supported them. Their mantra of being locally owned and locally committed is not just words — they are the founding principles that guide the company daily.
When Steve Taylor Sr. opened his first dealership, Taylor Buick, in downtown Toledo, he committed to finding more ways to give back to his adopted hometown. Within a few years, he was involved with many local charities, schools, and non-profit organizations — serving on committees, boards, and volunteering his time.
Fast forward nearly 20 years, Steve Taylor II joined full-time in 1998 and quickly shared in his father's quest to make a positive difference. He started programs like their Driven to Succeed campaign, rewarding high school seniors with a chance to win a free car, and partnered with local schools and organizations across Northwest Ohio.
"From Toledo to Lima, Perrysburg to Findlay, and everywhere in between, Taylor seeks out community partners to join forces with and provide a helping hand wherever they can."
