Lithia & Driveway (LAD) is committed to keeping our environment clean and healthy. That’s why Tim Muzyka, Platform General Manager of Downtown Los Angeles Mercedes, captained the drive to get volunteers from several of our LA stores—along with their families—to clean up Hermosa City Beach as part of 2025 Coastal Cleanup Day.
Nearly ten stores signed up to support this annual event that encourages international awareness and action to protect our oceans, watersheds, and wildlife from debris and plastic pollution. Muzyka noted that out of the dozens of sites they could have supported, the store volunteers voted to clean up Hermosa Beach, which happens to be in his own backyard.
After walking and cleaning for three hours, the team collected dozens of buckets and bags of trash. One of our young volunteers even found a one-trillion-dollar bill! Who says volunteering isn’t worth it?
Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a well-earned lunch and talking shop. The store volunteers also parked a few brand-new GreenCars nearby to remind passersby of how a sustainable ride can help the environment too:
A HUGE WAVE OF THANKS to our volunteers from the following stores for giving back to their communities and leading by example:
