ABOUT DESTINATION AUTOGROUP
For over 3 decades, Destination Auto Group has provided quality vehicles, exceptional service, and trusted automotive expertise to the people of Metro Vancouver and beyond. We are a local family-owned business that began our journey in North Vancouver back in 1983. While many things have changed since then, what hasn’t is our dedication to the people of our community and the vehicles that drive them. By putting people first, we foster genuine human interactions at every level of the automotive buying and servicing process. Our enthusiasm and consideration for our guests remain a key guiding principle behind everything we do. Today, Destination Auto Group consists of four full-service dealerships: Destination Mazda Vancouver, Destination Toyota Burnaby, Destination Honda Burnaby, and Destination Kingsway Honda Vancouver, and over 320 dedicated Associates who are focused on one thing - to challenge the status quo of the traditional dealership model in order to do what’s right for our guests. We believe in our people, innovation, and making it as easy for our guests as possible to fulfill their automotive needs. When you are ready to start, your journey begins here.
VISION
Our vision is to provide an extraordinary guest experience, transparency and high-quality service and repair to all car owners in Metro Vancouver. To achieve this, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability as we recruit, hire and train our Associates to focus on our guests and the communities where we live and operate. We’re looking to be a better kind of business for the communities that have put their faith in us, for our Associates and for a sustainable future that the next generations will enjoy.
VALUES
At every stage of the vehicle buying and servicing process, we build relationships on a foundation of integrity. All interactions with our guests and partners are carried out in an upfront and transparent fashion, and we have set our true north to always do the right thing. The bottom line, we deliver on our promises.
Superior Service
We strive to redefine and personalize guest experiences, from sales to after-sales service. Service excellence is both our starting line and the goal we are constantly working towards, and we are eager to show you how your experience at Destination really is different. We work very hard to nurture our robust network of guests that trust us, repeatedly visit us, and refer us to their friends and family for their automotive needs.
A Focus On People
We invest heavily in our Associates and their development and seek to help build meaningful careers, not just provide jobs. Through regular training and on-the-job mentorship, we aim to create trust and dependability with our Associates, which we believe is an enabler in the development of long-term relationships with our guests and partners. Wherever we can, we give our Associate professional development opportunities and ensure they are set up for success.
Innovation
We embrace challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn, adapt and succeed. This belief is supported by open and regular dialogue, continuous training, mentorship, and a drive to challenge the status quo. We are often invited by our manufacturer partners to participate in business round tables and dealer committees, where we can openly explore better ways to do things and share our best practices with others. In this way, we are a champion of mobility initiatives in the auto industry that bring joy to our guests and sustainability to our environment.
