As the president and owner of Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, Anthony Marino runs a thriving family-owned and operated dealership comprised of a tight-knit team of automotive experts. Although Tony started his career in the financial sector and joined his father in the automotive industry in 2012, the Marino family has been deeply connected to Chicago’s auto industry for nearly a century. The Marino family’s influence in the industry dates back to the 1930s at Uptown Auto Supply on Broadway Avenue in Chicago’s North Side – back in the days when AC Delco and GM were the top performers in the S&P 500. Times may have changed, but the Marino family’s unwavering commitment to superior service has not.
Today, Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is a multi-award-winning dealership which is nationally recognized for providing outstanding consumer service at every stage of the customer experience. Tony currently employs nearly 100 industry specialists with over 300 years of combined automotive expertise.
A long-time philanthropist and proud Chicago native, Tony has also made community service a strong part of the dealership’s tradition. He contributes tens of thousands of dollars every year to numerous local charity organizations and stays actively involved in various youth sports programs to help build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.
Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is consistently rated by its own loyal customer base as Illinois’ #1 dealership, which is likely tied to Tony’s simple business philosophy: to always be reliable, transparent, upfront, and focused on the customer’s needs at all times.
