Through initiatives such as food, blood, & school supply drives and event partnerships, Thelen Auto Group embodies the belief that giving back is not only the right thing to do, but it also enriches lives and strengthens our local community.
We at Thelen Auto Group believe that true fulfillment comes from active community involvement.
