The Tonkin Family of Dealerships is a Portland-based, family-owned group of automotive retailers with roots dating to 1960, when Ron Tonkin opened a Chevrolet store. The group now operates 14 dealerships and Motocorsa, a specialty shop for Italian motorcycles. It offers a broad mix of brands across new-vehicle lines, from mainstream manufacturers such as Acura, Chevrolet, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, and Nissan to luxury and performance names like Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus, and Fisker. The company also maintains a robust used-vehicle offering and runs TonkinGreen, a program that helps customers find environmentally focused cars such as hybrids and high-efficiency models. Leadership is family-driven, with Ron Tonkin active in the business and his sons Ed and Brad overseeing day-to-day operations. The organization positions itself as Oregon's 17th largest private employer and has been recognized as one of the best places to work in the state and as one of the 100 best green companies, reflecting its long-standing community involvement in the Portland area.
