“We encourage our employees to become involved in their community, volunteering and working with organizations striving to make a positive impact,” said Kelley LaFontaine, Vice President, LaFontaine Automotive Group. “Being a strong community supporter and partner has been a cornerstone of LaFontaine Automotive Group and something my mom, Maureen LaFontaine instilled in us all.” The combination of both the mission and core values provides the basic foundation of our promise … to treat every customer like they are members of our family.

Ryan LaFontaine himself experienced cancer in 2008. With that, he and his sister, Kelley LaFontaine, began fundraising for cancer research and created their own nonprofit, U CAN-CER VIVE. With goals to raise $1M per year, we are proud to share that we have donated over $3 million to cancer research at our local Michigan hospitals.

With an amazing board and committee of volunteers + the gracious community and our heart-warming LaFontaine employees and family members themselves, we are proud to say that this team makes it all happen on a volunteer basis!
