Proud to Stand with Our Local Heroes

At Steet Toyota of Johnstown, we are honored to support the Johnstown Fire Department and their mission to protect and uplift our community. Events like the Charity Ball remind us of the power of coming together for a great cause, while also having a great time!

Additionally, we recently donated 2 Emergency Plugs to the Johnstown Professional Firefighters Local 779 and the Gloversville Fire Department to help aid first responders when working on a vehicle accident for hybrid and electric vehicles! These plugs are costly, and not given to the local volunteer departments. The Emergency Plug® (Plug) has been developed to prevent unpredictable vehicle movement by any Full or Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EVs) in an emergency situation as well as during regular maintenance. This allows first responders to get to any victims quickly and safely.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Johnstown Fire Department and supporting more incredible local events in the future. Here’s to a community that shines both on and off the dance floor! 🌟

Steet Toyota of Johnstown Sales Team for Steet Ponte Auto Group Golf Tournament

Steet Ponte Auto Group Tees Off for Another Great Annual Golf Tournament

There’s nothing better than a beautiful summer day on the golf course with great people, and this year’s Steet Ponte Auto Group Annual Golf Tournament delivered all of that and more! This year, our annual tournament was held at Holland Heights Golf Course in Herkimer, NY, bringing together team members and friends from across the Steet Ponte Auto Group for a day of golf, food, prizes and plenty of fun. We were proud to have representation from all of our Steet Ponte stores, along with several of the businesses we’re fortunate to work with throughout the year, including New Hartford Window Cleaning and Zeibart. It was a great opportunity to step away from the dealerships, enjoy some friendly competition and spend time together outside of the office. A huge thank-you goes to Barb Mazzotta of Steet Ponte Mazda, who coordinated this year’s tournament and put together an incredible day for everyone who attended. From the moment golfers hit the course, there was something to look forward to! Golfers were treated to hot dogs and hamburgers at the turn, a drink tent to keep everyone refreshed throughout the day, and tons of prizes provided by our manufacturers and Steet Ponte stores. In fact, everyone went home with something! And, of course, the day wasn’t complete without a great meal. After finishing up on the course, everyone gathered for dinner at Holland Heights, giving us the perfect opportunity to relax, share some laughs and wrap up an unforgettable day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better group of people to spend the day with. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes the Steet Ponte Auto Group special—not only the dealerships and brands we represent, but the people who make up our team and the business relationships we’ve built throughout our community. We also want to give a special shoutout to Valerie Rinaldi of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln for helping make this event such a success the day of! Thank you to Barb, Valerie, our participating stores, our business partners, our manufacturers and everyone who came out to golf with us. We’re already looking forward to next year! Until then, we’ll see you on the course! ⛳
