Steet Ponte Volkswagen’s 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive At Steet Ponte Volkswagen, giving back to the communities we serve is something we are proud to do all year long. As winter approaches, we are excited to once again participate in the 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive! What started as a community initiative has grown into an incredible annual tradition that our entire Steet Ponte Auto Group looks forward to every year. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have been able to provide thousands of winter essentials to local children over the years. Last year, we reached a new milestone by donating a record-breaking 1,400+ items of winter outerwear, including coats, hats, snow pants, gloves, mittens, scarves and snow boots. This year, our Yorkville-area stores will be helping provide winter clothing to local schools in Utica and Rome, making sure children in our community have warm clothing for the winter season. Donate New Winter Clothing We are accepting NEW winter clothing for children of all sizes, including: Coats and winter jackets Snow pants Hats Gloves and mittens Scarves Snow boots Other new winter outerwear Donations are accepted at Steet Ponte Volkswagen during normal business hours from October 1 through November 2. Even one donation can make a difference. A new winter coat, warm hat or pair of snow boots can help a local child feel comfortable and prepared when temperatures drop. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our drive and helped us make this such a special tradition. We hope you'll join us once again for the 9th Annual Coats for Kids Drive! Help us keep local kids warm this winter. Bring your new winter clothing donation to Steet Ponte Volkswagen!

There’s a lot to celebrate at Steet Ponte Volkswagen along with United Auto Sales! In July, both teams reached their sales goals for the fifth consecutive month —an incredible accomplishment that reflects the dedication of our teams and the continued support of our amazing customers. To celebrate the milestone, our teams gathered for a well-deserved dinner at Roman’s at Valley View in Utica. It was a great opportunity to step away from the dealerships, enjoy some great food and celebrate all of the hard work that went into reaching another month of goals. We couldn’t be prouder of everyone who contributed to this incredible streak. Consistently reaching sales goals takes teamwork, determination and a commitment to taking care of our customers—and our teams continue to deliver. And, most importantly, thank you to our customers! Your continued trust and support are the reason we’re able to celebrate milestones like this. We never take that support for granted, and we’re incredibly grateful for every customer who chooses to do business with us. Keeping the Momentum Going The celebrations continued into August, when the Steet Ponte Nissan and Steet Ponte Volkswagen teams came together after hitting their internal sales goals. For Steet Ponte Volkswagen, the August achievement marked an incredible six consecutive months of reaching their sales goal! That kind of consistency is something worth celebrating. The teams enjoyed an evening together at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse, sharing a great meal and celebrating the hard work that continues to drive their success. From five consecutive months in July to month number six for Volkswagen in August, the momentum across our teams has been incredible. We’re so proud of our Steet Ponte Volkswagen, United Auto Sales and Steet Ponte Nissan teams for their dedication and hard work. And to our customers, thank you for continuing to put your trust in us—we couldn’t do any of this without you! Here’s to the next goal, the next milestone and plenty more reasons to celebrate!

There’s nothing better than a beautiful summer day on the golf course with great people—and this year’s Steet Ponte Auto Group Annual Golf Tournament delivered all of that and more! This year, our annual tournament was held at Holland Heights Golf Course in Herkimer, NY, bringing together team members and friends from across the Steet Ponte Auto Group for a day of golf, food, prizes and plenty of fun. We were proud to have representation from all of our Steet Ponte stores, along with several of the businesses we’re fortunate to work with throughout the year, including New Hartford Window Cleaning and Zeibart. It was a great opportunity to step away from the dealerships, enjoy some friendly competition and spend time together outside of the office. A huge thank-you goes to Barb Mazzotta of Steet Ponte Mazda, who coordinated this year’s tournament and put together an incredible day for everyone who attended. From the moment golfers hit the course, there was something to look forward to! Golfers were treated to hot dogs and hamburgers at the turn, a drink tent to keep everyone refreshed throughout the day, and tons of prizes provided by our manufacturers and Steet Ponte stores. In fact, everyone went home with something! And, of course, the day wasn’t complete without a great meal. After finishing up on the course, everyone gathered for dinner at Holland Heights, giving us the perfect opportunity to relax, share some laughs and wrap up an unforgettable day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better group of people to spend the day with. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes the Steet Ponte Auto Group special—not only the dealerships and brands we represent, but the people who make up our team and the business relationships we’ve built throughout our community. We also want to give a special shoutout to Valerie Rinaldi of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln for helping make this event such a success! Thank you to Barb, Valerie, our participating stores, our business partners, our manufacturers and everyone who came out to golf with us. We’re already looking forward to next year! Until then, we’ll see you on the course! ⛳
