Mission, Vision,
& Values at Garber

Doing the right thing.

Ask Richard J. Garber Jr. what Garber’s philosophy is and you’ll get four words: Doing the right thing. Our mission, vision, and the core values that we hire and train by are how those four words get done every day.

Mission

Our Mission

"We are only doing our job properly when we create an experience for which the customer returns to do business with us again."
What that means for you

Our measure of success isn't the sale. It's whether you come back.

Straight answers on price, trade value, and repairs
The same treatment whether you buy or browse
An advisor who explains before they recommend
A team that stays — 75% of leaders promoted from within
Vision

Our Vision

To be the best automotive sales and repair operation in every market we serve.

Six states

"Every market" is not a figure of speech. Garber competes in six states and dozens of towns, and the goal is the same in each: be the store people recommend to their neighbors.

Our Core Values

Six words we hire by, train by,
and sell by.

Every Garber team member is measured against these — from the technician to the owner.

01

Honesty

Truthful at all times.

Straight answers on price, trade value, and repairs.

02

Respect

Showing consideration and honor for each other.

The same warm welcome whether you are buying, browsing, or bringing in a 15-year-old truck.

03

Empathy

Being able to understand another's position.

We meet you where you’re at, whether that’s your budget, your credit, or your schedule.

04

Integrity

Good, sound moral principle — trustworthy and sincere.

We recommend the repair your vehicle needs, not the one that costs the most.

05

Pride

A sense of self-worth. Making a difference in people's lives.

Our people stay: 75% of Garber leaders are promoted from within.

06

Work Ethic

Working as a team to meet or exceed expectations.

Sales, service, and parts work together to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
