About LAcarGUY Family of Dealerships
A Family of Dealerships Driven by People and Community
The LAcarGUY Family of Dealerships has been a Los Angeles fixture since "Sully" Sullivan opened his first dealership, Volkswagen Santa Monica, in 1973. Since then, LAcarGUY has grown to include 10 award-winning dealerships throughout the Los Angeles area while maintaining a strong commitment to outstanding customer service, community involvement, and responsible automotive retail.
For more than 50 years, LAcarGUY has worked to build lasting relationships with Southern California drivers. Today, our family of dealerships continues that tradition while also establishing itself as a leader in Hybrid and EV sales and dealership sustainability. Whether you're shopping for your next vehicle or visiting one of our dealerships for service, our teams are committed to providing an experience you can feel confident about.
Professional Automotive Service Across Los Angeles
Our commitment to customers continues long after a vehicle leaves the showroom. Through our network of service locations, LAcarGUY provides convenient access to professional automotive maintenance and repair throughout the Los Angeles area.
Our dealership service centers are equipped to handle everything from routine oil changes, tire rotations, and brake service to diagnostics and more extensive repairs. With trained technicians who understand the vehicles and brands we represent, our goal is to help you maintain your vehicle's performance, reliability, and longevity for years to come.
Explore New & Used Vehicles
With 11 dealerships throughout Los Angeles, LAcarGUY gives Southern California drivers access to an extensive selection of vehicles from leading automotive brands. Explore our new cars to find sedans, SUVs, trucks, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles with the features and capabilities you're looking for.
We also offer a diverse selection of used cars, trucks, and SUVs across our dealership family. With vehicles from a variety of manufacturers, model years, and price ranges, our pre-owned inventory makes it easier to find an option that fits your lifestyle and budget.
A Leader in Hybrid & Electric Vehicles
As one of the top Hybrid and EV dealer groups in the world, LAcarGUY is committed to helping create a greener future in an environmentally challenged industry. Our dealerships have embraced alternative-fuel vehicles and continue to help Southern California drivers learn about and transition to hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the vehicles on our lots. LAcarGUY has remained actively involved with local environmental organizations and initiatives designed to protect Southern California's natural resources, educate future generations, and encourage more sustainable communities.
Committed to Our Community
LAcarGUY believes being a local business means investing in the people and communities that have supported us for decades. Our dealership group supports organizations focused on environmental sustainability, childhood education, family services, health, and community programs throughout Southern California.
LAcarGUY is proud to support and participate in organizations and community events including:
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica

Investing in a Greener Future
Environmental responsibility has become an important part of the LAcarGUY identity. Owner Mike Sullivan has served on the boards of Heal the Bay and the Environmental Media Association (EMA), helping support organizations working toward a healthier and more sustainable Southern California.
Our commitment also extends to environmental education. In 2023, Grades of Green introduced the "LAcarGUY International Eco-Grant Sponsor" for students participating in its innovative programs. Through efforts like these, LAcarGUY is proud to support young people developing ideas and solutions that can make a positive impact on the planet's future.
