Community Involvement

Thomas Buick GMC was absolutely thrilled to hand over the keys and announce Dan Hockenberry as the lucky winner of our GMC Canyon Giveaway!

This major initiative was all about rallying together to support the hardworking student-athletes of the Richland High School Hockey team. We are incredibly grateful to the entire Richland community and everyone across the region who showed up, participated, and backed local youth sports in such a massive way. Congratulations again to Dan on his brand-new truck, and a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this special giveaway an unforgettable success for our local players!

The tires were shined, the setup was complete, and the Thomas Automotive team had a fantastic time at the Galleria Mall for the Greater Johnstown Auto Expo! Showcasing an incredible lineup of our finest vehicles right in the center of the mall.

It was a wonderful opportunity to step outside the traditional showroom, hang out with everyone out doing some weekend shopping, and help our neighbors explore the latest models in person. A huge thank you to the Greater Johnstown community for stopping by our display, chatting with our team, and making it such a fun, successful weekend!

The Thomas Automotive team was honored to visit the Fox 8 TV studio alongside some incredibly talented student-athletes from the Richland High School Hockey team! We had a wonderful time going on air together to talk about local youth sports and share the exciting details of our 2025 GMC Canyon Giveaway.

At Thomas Buick GMC, we believe that investing in our local youth and athletic programs is one of the most impactful ways we can give back to the region. It was a privilege to share the spotlight with these hardworking local athletes, and we are grateful to Fox 8 for helping us highlight the amazing community initiatives that drive our mission forward!

Thomas Automotive was proud to celebrate the incredible teachers of Conemaugh Township by treating them to a well-deserved "Thomas Donut Stress Break." Our team stopped by to supply fresh donuts, hot coffee, free car wash vouchers, and a few Teacher's Special maintenance packages to show our appreciation for their hard work.

It was our small way of saying a massive thank you for the countless hours, energy, and dedication these educators invest in our children every single day. We are incredibly grateful to support the teachers who make such a lasting difference in our schools, and we were thrilled to add a little extra sweetness to their morning routine!

Thomas Automotive kicked off the year focused on community and connection at the sold-out local Kickstart event! It was an honor to help sponsor the evening, which brought together regional leaders to welcome and celebrate the newest members and executives joining our vibrant business community.

Our Thomas Team representatives had a fantastic time heading out to connect, network, and celebrate the local professional landscape. We are incredibly proud to invest in the economic growth and professional development of our region alongside fantastic community partners like Somerset Trust, H.F. Lenz, Park Home, and Catanese Group. Cheers to a successful, collaborative year ahead for all our local businesses!

The Richland Rams are headed to the Quarter-Finals, and Thomas Automotive was honored to help them fuel up for the big game! To offer a boost of support to the team, Gage Lafferty-a proud Richland football alumni and current client advisor at Thomas Automotive-joined the Rams to present them with a $500 check on behalf of the dealership for their team dinner.

We love seeing our own team members connect with their roots to give back to the next generation of local athletes!

Friday Night Lights at Price Field did not disappoint! Thomas Automotive was incredibly proud to sponsor the high school football City Championship game, which brought out an amazing show of talent, grit, and community spirit from everyone involved.

A huge, well-deserved congratulations goes out to the Bishop McCort Crushers on taking home the victory and the championship title! We also want to commend both teams for a phenomenal, hard-fought game and an incredible season overall. Supporting our local student-athletes and being part of these unforgettable community moments is exactly what we love to do!

Thomas Automotive was thrilled to celebrate local heritage as a proud sponsor of the annual Slavic Festival in Johnstown! It was a fantastic weekend filled with incredible live music, traditional dances, and, of course, plenty of delicious food.

Our team had a wonderful time setting up at the festival, greeting everyone who passed through Cambria City, and experiencing one of Johnstown's finest and most flavorful traditions alongside our neighbors. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to say hello-we love supporting the events that keep our community's rich history and culture alive!

Thomas Automotive was incredibly proud to sponsor the 79th annual City Trophy Series rivalry matchups! This historic local tradition dates all the way back to 1942, bringing our community together every year for one of the most anticipated games of the season.

We love supporting our local student-athletes and school athletic programs, and it was an honor to be part of the excitement surrounding this year's series. Congratulations to both teams on a hard-fought game and for continuing a classic community tradition with such great sportsmanship!
