Phil Mitchell of Sunset Auto Group Honored with 2025 Main Street America Award for Elevating Community Impact
Under Mitchell’s leadership, Sunset Chevrolet has evolved from a small-town dealership into Washington state’s top Chevrolet retailer for 15 consecutive years. His success is attributed not only to operational excellence but to a deep commitment to customer satisfaction and local engagement.
Sunset Chevrolet maintains an average daily inventory of approximately 400 new vehicles, along with one of the region’s largest selections of pre-owned vehicles. Signature offerings such as Warranty Protection for Life and Oil Changes for Life on qualifying vehicles underscore the dealership’s commitment to long-term value.
Transforming a Dealership—and a Community
Sunset Chevrolet’s origins trace back to the early 1900s, starting as a humble gas station that sold one or two vehicles each month. Despite its impressive growth, Mitchell has remained committed to the business’s community-first ethos. The dealership contributes thousands of dollars annually to causes that benefit Sumner residents, creating a loyal customer base and sustainable success model.
A centerpiece of Mitchell’s impact is his robust educational support initiatives. Sunset Chevrolet donates vehicles and engines to Sumner High School’s automotive department, equipping students with hands-on experience using modern automotive technology. These efforts are complemented by annual fundraising contributions, including vehicle donations valued up to $30,000, and the dealership’s sponsorship of Sunset Stadium, which generates funding for local athletic programs and scholarships.
Excellence Beyond the Showroom
Mitchell’s innovative business model recognizes that customer value today extends well beyond the initial sale. With price competition largely standardized among Chevrolet dealers, Mitchell has prioritized programs that enhance the ownership experience and build lasting customer relationships.
By reducing long-term maintenance costs and delivering unmatched service, Sunset Chevrolet has positioned itself as more than a dealership—it’s a trusted community institution.
