“My favorite part of working for Bobby Rahal is the culture we’ve created. Working 14 years in other shops has shown me how I want to feel when I come to work. Coming to work and playing a part in keeping our community on the road with this team brings me great pride each day. Coming to work is actually fun and something I look forward to because the team and management allow me to be my full self while encouraging me to grow at a pace I hadn’t thought possible before working here. Working at Bobby Rahal has allowed me to grow exponentially faster because of the accountability and the encouragement to be the best version of myself as a person and as a technician each day. It’s like having a tailwind behind my wings pushing me to new heights and reaping the rewards of my hard work. Something I’d tell someone looking to join the company is that most companies claim to value their employees like family and encourage a positive work-life balance, this is the first time a company has held true to those values time after time. Working for Bobby Rahal is the best career move I’ve made and I have never looked back.”

“My favorite thing about working for Bobby Rahal is the environment as a whole. Not only is not only fun but also very team-oriented, and everyone is always available to lend a helping hand. Not just within your department, but also when working alongside other departments. Combining these two things makes for successful and enjoyable workdays. Working at Bobby Rahal has allowed me to grow my career in several ways, however the main benefit is the insight and development tools I am given. There is an endless flow of learning opportunities. Questions and curiosity are encouraged to gauge a better understanding of the business as a whole. This has allowed me to grow into a stronger individual in my role as a Finance Manager and has also opened up a greater understanding of the business as a whole.

Service Consultant
“I began my career with Bobby Rahal in July 2013 as an Appointment Coordinator with no automotive or significant work experience as I was a year out of high school. Shortly after, I received the opportunity to become a Service Consultant, which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and encouragement from Management and Team Members. The opportunities for growth are endless and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. What I enjoy most is working with a team that truly feels like a part of your own family. Regardless of job title, everyone within this organization is treated with dignity and respect. Many team members here at Rahal have several years of tenure (some with 30+ years) which speaks volumes for a company. I can say with confidence that I’m proud to be apart of this team!”

“I enjoy working at Bobby Rahal Acura because of the anniversary trips. Kidding! Joking aside, it’s the freedom to take care of clients how I see fit. Obviously, some situations require management approval, but as long as I can justify my actions, I’m good to go. To sum it up, I like wearing big boy pants, and the company allows me to do so.”

“My favorite thing about my career at Bobby Rahal is, quite simply, the people. I truly feel part of a family here.

Service Cashier
“My New Hire experience was AWESOME! Never in all my years of different jobs have I ever felt so welcomed into a company as Bobby Rahal Honda. From the 1st day of my interview to the day I came in as a new hire, I was greeted with beautiful smiles, warm handshakes, and everyone in such upbeat, positive atmosphere. At this moment, I knew this was my new home & family, I was going to be part of great TEAM at Rahal. I was hired on my 60th Birthday, and everyone went out of their way to wish me a Happy Birthday and treat me as I had been here a long time already, that I was already part of the Rahal Family. “My “On the Job Training” was even more AWESOME, and I can’t say it is really fair for me to comment on my experience due to me feeling pretty special due to me being the only one in class. I had my trainer Kim Bono all to myself and I had her attention 100%, just for me. This was great because I needed to learn quickly due to shortness of people in the department for Appointment Scheduling. It was hard at first: it was a whole new world to learn, had to take in a lot of information, and Kim had great patience, and great knowledge of the system and everything that was expected of me to become a rising star at my new position. I had to move fast & was put into my position with all the information I needed to become a good Customer Service Rep for Bobby Rahal Honda. The training is fun, knowledgeable, and at first, hard. It really prepared me for what I needed to do at my job in the call center. I have experienced new people coming in after me, & it is very obvious the training is a great system due to my new co-workers coming on board & able to jump in once they had on hands training as well. Again, keep up what you are doing, because it is working. I know 1st hand that us new kids on the block are very happy in our position and we greatly appreciate the overwhelming response of everyone on Team Rahal to welcome us, & put up with our non-stop questions and their willingness to help us grow better in our new/old positions. What a great place to be a part of such a great team as Bobby Rahal TEAM.”
Angela Hurley

Sales Consultant
“Everyone here has been very receptive to me and helping me to learn this business. I came here almost two years ago now with only my love of vehicles and of course my eighteen years of customer service in banking to help me launch a new career in car sales. I have learned so much about Toyota’s and the car business from all of my team members. We are truly a team here at this small store helping each other make it a great experience for our customers.”
Scott McCann
Bobby Rahal Lexus | September, 2000
Service Manager
“My favorite thing about working for Bobby Rahal is that I’m given the opportunity and support to do my best to grow, learn and even coach whether being myself or Team Members every day. Working at Bobby Rahal has allowed me personally to grow within the organization from my beginning days as a service advisor learning the vehicles, customer interactions and the automotive industry operations. Experiences in that role gave me the opportunity to use the years of interactions and situations internally and externally to advance into management where I now can help grow our team members. Anyone looking to join our company can look throughout our automotive group to see the many years of team member tenure and dedication, some over 30 years. This is a testament to the Rahal organization and the Core Values that were established and still followed to this day that allow team members to do and be their best every day.”
Isaak Bonilla
Bobby Rahal Toyota | August, 2021
Sales Consultant
“My favorite thing about working for Rahal is truly the people. Not only are the people here the perfect example of how you want a company to treat your customers, but they treat their workers the exact same way. I did not know much about cars prior to working at Rahal. They were kind enough to trust me to learn all that there is to learn about dealerships, all while improving my customer service skills tenfold. My best advice for anyone thinking about working at Rahal would be, just step into any of the dealerships. You will realize that not only is it how you want to be treated from a customer perspective, but an employee’s as well.”

Sales Consultant
“I started working summers and winters during school as a porter. When I graduated I wanted to stay within the company and moved over to sales when a position opened. The company parties and cookouts are always something to look forward to. I am always learning new things and meeting new people. The best thing is I have made a lot of new friends working for Bobby Rahal. The reputation is excellent and we are one big team. We all feel like one tight-knit family!”

“I enjoy that we work as Team. We support each other as a team and as family. Even on the bad days someone always finds the good in it and makes the day better. You are bound to laugh almost every day for one reason or another. We help each other day to day to improve as a team and individually. Your hard work does not go unnoticed with Team Rahal and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to work here.”

Sales Consultant
“I enjoy many facets of the Bobby Rahal Used Car Outlet. The other employees and management staff here truly make you feel welcomed and are a friendly group of folks. I personally get great satisfaction when I help customers find a vehicle that they are excited to purchase and help provide them with the reliable transportation that they need for themselves or for a high school/college bound son or daughter.”

Julius Merrifield
Bobby Rahal Honda | August, 2016
Parts Counterperson
“We have a great bunch of people working here, in all departments. I actually LIKE coming to work every day to work with them. We have fun AND make a good living! I have found the place that I want to work at for the rest of my working days. My search has ended for the best place to work! I was at three other dealerships in my twenty-four years in this industry before coming here, and this is, by far, much better than the others. We have four dealerships: Honda, Acura, Toyota and Lexus all located on two corners of one intersection in this quaint little town of Mechanicsburg, PA. It’s a nice place to live, and a great place to work. We have a super HR department which lists internal job postings for all four dealerships at least once a week, so there is opportunity for advancement almost all of the time.”

“I enjoy the people I work with and have continued to work with over the years, plus the management team.”
Ryan Lomago
Bobby Rahal Honda | August, 2005
Service Advisor
“For starters, the companionship that builds amongst our team I feel is hard to beat. When I compare our company with others, I often times wonder if many places operate on such a welcoming and friendly environment. Always chances for growth and advancement; as I started from the bottom as a porter and progressively worked my way throughout to where I am today. It allows for any individual to become whatever they put their mind to. Over the years, the rewards and recognition that the dealerships receive and delivers can be hard to beat when considering other businesses. From the picnics and cookouts to the company holiday parties, the 5/10/15/20-year service awards and trips, holiday/sick/PTO, it all evens itself out in the end. Why would I leave?”

“I knew about Bobby Rahal Honda years before joining the team. There was a strong & positive reputation in the central PA area that was attractive to be a part of. Working here has given me the opportunity to use a variety of skills in multiple departments. Getting to use those skills to help make Team Rahal function well is what I enjoy most about working for Bobby Rahal Honda.”
