Philanthropy

Hyundai Hope on Wheels

Hyundai believes in the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes.

Hope on Wheels

Hyundai created Hope on Wheels 26 years ago. Hyundai Hope on Wheels is an organization that funds pediatric cancer research and builds awareness for the disease. Since Hope on Wheels was founded, more than 1,300 major grants have been awarded to help find innovative approaches, facilitate discovery, and improve care for childhood cancers. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold, a donation is made to the foundation. For every new Hyundai vehicle purchased, $22 is donated by Hyundai and its dealers to Hyundai Hope On Wheels and the funds are used for pediatric cancer research grants and to raise public awareness. What originally started as a small group of dealers, it’s now a nation-wide project with 830 dealers across the country and they’ve helped raise $250 million and counting in donations.


Made in America

Hyundai strives to build relationships with their drivers that last for decades. That’s why they design more than just great cars – they design problems that always put them first.

Through thick and thin, Hyundai’s always looking for new ways to improve driver confidence.

Hyundai has created programs such as Shopper Assurance that is an easy-to-use experience that makes car shopping simple from test drive to purchase. They also have a history of helping drivers during challenging times. Hyundai always looks out for their owners and first introduced Job Loss Assurance during the financial crisis back in 2008 and has since reintroduced it during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Working together towards one goal – a Hyundai made to keep you safe.

For peace of mind, Hyundai refined their car warranties by introducing America’s Best. Hyundai is the first company to offer its drivers a 10-years/100,000-miles powertrain warranty. They also provide 3-years/36,000 miles complimentary scheduled maintenance and a 10 year hybrid battery warranty. Hyundai has also won #1 in customer loyalty, 11 years in a row*.

To offset emissions, Hyundai has planted thousands of trees, uses recycled materials in their cars and factories, and promotes low carbon manufacturing. Hyundai has planted 250,000 trees nationwide as a commitment to sustainability and an effort to help diminish the impact of climate change. .

Hyundai is leading the charge to a greener future with four type of electrified vehicles for every kind of driver.

Patrick Dealer Group’s History with Hyundai

Patrick Hyundai in SchaumburgIn 1904 Detroit Michigan, Hanley Dawson IV’s great grandfather made the acquaintance of the legendary Henry Ford. Ford’s automobile manufacturing plant was located across the street from the bank where he worked. His great grandfather offered to sell used cars returned to the Ford plant, and eventually was granted the opportunity to sell new cars off the assembly line.

In 1907, his great grandfather was awarded the first new Ford franchise in the Midwest.

In 1951, Hanley Dawson Jr. took over the dealership from his father. 20 years later, in 1971 the family business moved to Chicago, on the corner of Rush and Ontario Street, and Hanley Dawson Jr. was awarded the first and only Chicago Cadillac factory retail branch operation. Hanley Dawson Jr. and his son, Hanley Dawson III, ran that business known as Hanley Dawson Cadillac until the early 1990’s.

In 1977, Hanley Dawson III set out on his own and started the Patrick Dealer Group, named after his youngest son Patrick.

In 2005, Patrick Hyundai was established at 1020 East Golf Road, Schaumburg, IL 60173.
