Community Born. Community Driven.

The Value of Being Good Community Citizens

We believe in the value of being good community citizens, which means we give willingly to, and are actively involved in the support of our community, because the people that make up this beautiful Gallatin Valley are directly responsible for our success as a business. As one of the largest locally-owned employers in Bozeman, and the largest volume automotive dealer in Montana, our community is full of both customers and employees. Rather than spend excessively on advertising and promotion of our products and services, we prefer to spend money investing back into the lives of the people around us.

Our original founder, Dave Ressler, was an automotive enthusiast and philanthropist who believed that the best thing to do with success was to share it with others. Dave made it a priority to support the community that was supporting his business, and over 22 years of continuous sponsorship, volunteering, and charity work, our catchphrase “Community Born, Community Driven” has been brought to life.

With the leadership of our Dealer Principals Jeffrey Kayser and Donald Javing, we continue to carry the torch that Dave lit so many years ago. To date, Ressler Motors still sponsors over 40 local organizations, and has raised over $50,000 for charities including Haven MT, Cancer Support Community Montana, and Make-A-Wish South Dakota/Montana. We actively participate in the Gallatin Valley Food Bank’s Can the Griz Food Drive each year, both volunteering and donating food items. We truly believe our community is directly responsible for our success in the automotive industry, and we are committed to pouring back into that community each and every year.
