It's about LEADERSHIP. It's about CORPORATE STEWARDSHIP.
Going
green... "It's simply a matter of doing the right thing." Our business is
that of an auto dealer. Our passion is improving the lives of our customers, our
employees and those who reside in the communities we serve. As one of the
largest auto dealer companies in the Northwest, we welcome our corporate
responsibility to be an advocate for the best environmental practices; to set
the standard and pave a path for others to follow suit.
We recognize the
impending need to preserve and sustain the environment and its resources. We are
more than corporate stewards. We are a collective group of people stepping up to
the challenge, tackling tough issues and setting change in motion. We owe it to
our employees, our customers and our community to be a trusted partner and to
simply do the right thing.
The Hannah's family roots are embedded
here?As a third generation, locally owned and daily operated business, Dick
Hannah Dealerships have been recently recognized by the Washington CEO
publication as the 22nd largest, privately owned company in Washington State.
Our roots were planted when the company opened our first dealership in downtown
Vancouver in 1949.
Our commitment to being a trusted community partner
has remained a constant. In our effort to become a more GREEN-BASED dealership,
Dick Hannah Dealerships has utilized a top down approach with support from every
level of our team. This mission has become part of our culture.
Tree
Planting with every vehicle we sell?

committed to having a tree planted with every vehicle we sell. This applies to
all new and pre-owned cars and trucks throughout all of our stores. We've
partnered with the National Arbor Day Foundation and so far over 34,000 trees
have been planted.
