Gettel Automotive Group, a leading automotive dealership group in Florida, has been ranked among the Top Companies in 2009 by the Biz941 magazine. The new recognition is indeed a feather in the cap of the Gettel Automotive Group, which has already made a name for itself as a reliable automobile dealership group and has further boosted its commitment to serve customers better.

Despite the ups and downs in the economy, Gettel, with six dealerships and more than 375 employees, sustains success while at the same time providing best prices and service to their clientele as always. The market is changing everyday and as a top-grossing company, Gettel has taken staying ahead as a challenge. The company plans to expand by spending more than $30 million to open new dealerships and renovate old ones.

According to Biz941, in addition to sponsoring events like Giving Hunger the Blues, the Hispanic-Latino Festival and more, Gettel contributes to an array of local charities, including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Take Stock in Children and the Sarasota Orchestra, as well as providing other free services to more than 20 local nonprofits.

Gettel Automotive Group was founded by Jim Gettel in 1991 with the idea of creating a family owned and operated business. Today, the Gettel Group sells and services six different automotive brands including Toyota, Kia, Nissan, Scion, Hyundai and Acura. Gettel has also invested money into its business and the community through various community events and grassroots marketing, and has taken this period as an opportunity.
