The Ken Garff Automotive Group

Ken Garff started selling cars in 1932 in Salt Lake City, in the depths of the Great Depression. He hired neighbors who needed work and always believed his customers and employees mattered more than any car he sold. Today the group has grown to about 65 dealerships in eight states with more than 5,000 employees. It’s guided by the family values of respect, integrity, growth, humility, and teamwork, and it has stayed a family business through it all.
