Tonkin Family Of Dealerships

Ron Tonkin claims he was born with gas in his veins. Because of that passion, the Tonkin family has been providing Portland families with cars and trucks for nearly half a century. Since 1960 with one Chevy store, the Tonkin family now owns 14 auto dealerships and one exotic Italian motorcycle store - Motocorsa. Acura, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ferrari, Fisker, Honda, Hyundai, KIA, Lotus, Maserati, Mazda, Nissan, Scion, Toyota along with Aprilia, Ducati, and MV Agusta are the chosen new brands the Group offers. Of course there is a wide selection of used cars available and TonkinGreen to assist with the selection of “green cars” such as hybrids, diesels, and high mpg offerings. Ron is still quite active in the business, while sons Ed and Brad manage all levels of the corporation. The Tonkins are most certainly known for their “Love of Cars” and also for their love of the Portland Metropolitan community. The Kidney Association, Doernbecher Hospital, The Make-a-Wish Foundation, The United Way, Metropolitan Family Service and the Oregon School Foundations, are but a few of the agencies that have felt the impact of the generous spirit of this family-owned company. The Ron Tonkin Family of Dealerships is Oregon's 17th largest private employer and was voted "One of the Best 100 companies in Oregon to Work For" as well as one of "The 100 Best Green Companies." The family-owned business is a Portland icon and has been outfitting the Pacific Northwest in automobiles for nearly 50 years.
