About Cardinale Automotive Group – Helping People Get to Where They Want to Go

At Cardinale Automotive Group, everything we do is rooted in one mission:

Helping People Get To Where They Want To Go. This applies not just to the vehicles we sell—it’s about guiding our customers toward the right choices, helping our employees grow personally and professionally, and building up the communities we serve. Whether you're buying your first car, advancing your career, or looking for reliable service, our goal is to support your journey every step of the way.

Built on Trust. Driven by Choice.

For over 46 years, Cardinale Automotive Group has grown from a single dealership into a respected name across California, Arizona, and Nevada. Our story began with one core belief that still drives us today:

We develop outstanding relationships where everybody wins.

This founding commitment is known as The CardinaleWay, and it continues to shape our culture today. It’s about more than car sales—it’s about building trust, earning loyalty, and doing business with integrity. Across every dealership in California, Arizona, and Nevada, our focus is people—not transactions.Today, we proudly offer an extensive selection of new and pre-owned vehicles from some of the most trusted brands in the industry, including:

Acura, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Mazda, Nissan, Porsche, Ram, and Volkswagen.

More Than a Dealership Group

Our founder’s vision was never just about growth—it was about purpose. After surviving major challenges, we became a management-driven company, not market-dependent. That shift ensures we remain focused on long-term success through relationships, leadership, and service.

Through the Blessed to Serve Foundation, our team members help provide food, resources, and life-skills training in local communities. We also champion lifelong learning, professional development, and leadership training across our organization—because helping people get to where they want to go means more than selling cars.
