Ice Cream Social

It doesn’t get sweeter than this! At Dimmitt Automotive Group, we truly are a family. We appreciate all of our wonderful associates who work hard everyday. Periodically, we try to take some time to do a little something to say thank you to our team. To show our team how “cool” they are, we decided to throw an ice cream social. We had a social for the associates of Dimmitt Cadillac St. Pete, Dimmitt Cadillac Clearwater, and our Dimmitt Certified Collision Center. All associates were able to come by, relax, and have a sweet treat. If you are interested in joining the Dimmitt team, we have many jobs available on our careers page. We are thankful for all our associates, and know that it takes a whole team to be successful. We want to thank our extended Dimmitt family for the work they do every day.

On Sunday, December 1st, 2019, Dimmitt Automotive Group started the holiday season with a bang! Every year for the past 18 years, Dimmitt has participated in a Toys for Tots Rally, and this year was no different.  Run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots distributes toys to the children of families who cannot afford to buy gifts for Christmas. [gallery size="full" columns="2" link="none" ids="307429,307430"] This year, there were 130 cars that joined the rally. Each brought new, unwrapped gifts to donate. There were trunks stuffed with toys, two Cadillac Escalades, and a Rolls-Royce Wraith completely full of toys. The cars wrapped around the McLaren Tampa Bay parking lot in two lines and ended behind Dimmitt Cadillac St. Pete. All makes and models were welcome, so a large variety of cars participated, including classics, Mini Coopers, and (of course) supercars. [gallery size="full" link="none" columns="2" ids="307424,307428"] After a safety meeting hosted by the Sheriff’s Department of Hillsborough County, the drivers set out. They drove from the Dimmitt McLaren Showroom in St. Petersburg to the Marine Corps Toy Warehouse in Tampa. There, they unloaded hundreds of toys for children. The rally ended at Armature Works in Tampa.
