We’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned in the Elk Grove and greater Sacramento community. That legacy continues as we begin a new chapter—now as part of the Drive Family First.
Though our name and team remain the same, we’re supported by something even greater: a family-led organization committed to doing what’s right, putting people first, and delivering an automotive experience centered around care, trust, and community.
At Drive Family First, family isn’t just part of our name—it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Founded by Rob Martinez and Shelly Motoyoshi, along with their children Nico, Mackenzie, and Braeden, and supported by Bob Giles of Giles Automotive, Drive Family First was created to bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of community back into the dealership experience. With deep Hispanic and Japanese roots, the Martinez-Motoyoshi family built this company around the values that shaped them: hard work, respect, and care for others.
At Mazda of Elk Grove, we’re proud to live out those values every day—whether you’re shopping for a new Mazda, scheduling service, or just stopping by with a question.
When you buy from Mazda of Elk Grove, you get more than just a vehicle—you get a commitment to care, long-term protection, and a team that always puts your needs first.
🚗 Here’s what you get when you purchase from us:
It’s not just about what you drive—it’s about who you drive with.
We believe that car buying and ownership should feel good—not just during the sale, but long after. That’s why our service doesn’t stop at the door. Our Mazda Certified Service & Parts teams are here for you, whether you purchased from us or not.
And as part of Drive Family First, our mission goes beyond business. We proudly support causes that strengthen our communities—like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Shriners Children’s Hospital, and other organizations that help children, families, and veterans thrive.
At Mazda of Elk Grove, you’re not just a customer. You’re family. And we’re here to care for you and your car—today, tomorrow, and down the road.
