Our Community Support

Driving Change: Our Commitment to the Colorado Springs Community

 

At Bob Penkhus Motor Company, we believe that being a successful local business means more than just selling and servicing cars-it means investing in the place we call home. For decades, our family-owned dealership has been dedicated to giving back to the community that supports us. Our commitment runs deep, from supporting local schools and veterans to assisting families in crisis. We're proud to put our resources and passion toward building a stronger, more vibrant Colorado Springs for everyone.
