Toys for Tots 2018

December 2018 | Front Royal & Winchester, Virginia: During the 2018 holiday season, Marlow Auto Group proudly supported the Marlow Auto Group Toys for Tots 2018 campaign by partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots local chapter. Through Tri-State Nissan in Winchester and Marlow Motor Company in Front Royal, both locations served as official drop-off points for toy donations. This annual toy drive continues to be one of the most meaningful ways to give back during the holiday season. By opening their doors to the community, both dealerships created convenient locations for employees and customers to contribute and make a difference for children in need.

As a result, the effort reflected the true spirit of the season—neighbors helping neighbors. While the focus was on collecting toys, the deeper impact was about creating moments of happiness for children and families during a time that matters most.

About The Marlow Auto Group

Marlow Auto Group has proudly served the Northern Shenandoah Valley for over 75 years—but our story begins in 1947 with a decision that set us apart from the start. In the post-World War II era, when cars were scarce and buyers waited months for delivery, our founder, Guy Marlow, chose a different path. Rather than wait in line, he opened a dealership—not just to secure a car for his family, but to help others in the community do the same. That bold, people-first mindset remains at the heart of everything we do.

Over the decades, that one decision grew into a regional family of dealerships: Marlow Motor Company in Front Royal, Tri-State Nissan in Winchester, and Marlow Ford in Luray. As a locally owned and woman-operated business, we continue to grow by staying true to our five core values: Innovation, Integrity, Community, Relationships, and Exceeding Expectations. You’ll find those values in everything we do—from extended service hours that reduce downtime for local businesses to long-standing partnerships with local schools and nonprofits. Marlow Auto Group believes dealerships should do more than sell and service vehicles. They should solve problems, support their communities, and build trust that lasts. Because at Marlow, doing things differently isn’t just how we started. It’s how we lead.
