The Lindsay Automotive Group has been an important part of the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Washington, DC metro area community for decades. Beginning with Lindsay Cadillac of Alexandria opening in 1949, three generations of Lindsay's have been involved in the daily operations of the dealership family that now include Lexus of Alexandria, Lindsay Ford of Wheaton and Lindsay Kia of Wheaton, MD, Lindsay Chevrolet of Woodbridge and Saturn of Woodbridge, VA and Isuzu Commercial Trucks, and Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles. Coming in January 2008, Lindsay will open the Smart Center of Alexandria. The Lindsay family philosophy and practice is to give back to their community whether through direct financial contributions, garnering support from other businesses to assist non-profit organizations, or personally volunteering their time and energy on special need projects that support schools, hospitals, churches, health foundations, law enforcement, and education. Lindsay Automotive Group has been a platinum sponsor of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, a sponsor of the 2007 Children's Ball for Children's Hospital in Washington, D.C., and the Alexandria Boys & Girls Club to highlight just a few examples of their charity work.
