Relationships are the key to Lithia & Driveway’s entrepreneurial, high-performing culture—and we recognize the importance of our talented teams, customers, and communities.
Our incredible team members personify our mission of Growth Powered by People—and they are the true engine behind our success. To support them, we offer a total rewards benefits package designed to help them achieve a healthy work/life balance and financial security, as well as many professional growth opportunities so they can reach their fullest potential in our fast-paced culture.
We love our customers! To Earn Customers for Life, we’re always anticipating the road ahead and innovating new ways to meet, exceed, and modernize the customer experience. That’s why we offer consumer choice to the vehicle-ownership lifecycle with a combination of our vast store network with new online services, such as Driveway, our digital e-commerce platform.
Giving back to our local communities is deeply rooted in who we are as a company. We believe the best way to build community relationships is standing shoulder to shoulder helping our neighbors. We support local youth programs through our Lithia 4Kids program, and nearly all of our local stores have long-term, ongoing partnerships with many nonprofits in their areas.
We understand that a culture of belonging—across all levels—fuels innovative solutions, promotes team collaboration, invites personal development, and accelerates community engagement.

Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability
At Lithia & Driveway, we’re constantly exploring new roads to amplify sustainability throughout our operations, at home, and in partnership with our communities. Our core values keep us focused on living and driving positive change for a carbon-neutral future.

To do that well, stores need to be nimble in their daily operations. At Lithia & Driveway, one of our greatest dealership strengths is our decentralized business model. Our entrepreneurial-minded store leaders are “captains of their own ships” with the ability to pause, pivot, and pursue as needed.
