    T.G.I. Food Truck Wednesdays @ Brickell Honda!

South Florida's most popular food trucks are savoring their return to Brickell Honda on Wednesday evenings for "T.G.I. Food Truck Wednesdays @ Brickell Honda."

The following food trucks are regulars at the weekly Miami Street Food Court that draws in a vibrant crowd from Brickell, Downtown Miami and the surrounding areas: Latin Burger, Dim Ssam A GoGo by Sakaya Kitchen, The Fish Box by La Camaronera, Cheese Me, MexZican Gourmet, Sugar Rush by Sweetness, and Ms. Cheezious.  Dinner runs between 6pm and 10pm, with more food trucks expected to join the delicious line up each week.

As the food truck business grows in South Florida, so does the demand for empty lots where food truck owners can park hassle free.  To meet these needs, and to satisfy the appetites of food truck crazed Miamians, the owners at Brickell Honda launched "T.G.I. Food Truck Wednesdays @ Brickell Honda", a weekly event that has made the dealership a coveted food truck spot for its attractive lot and proximity to Downtown.  Every Wednesday evening, the Brickell Honda lot, located at 690 SW 8th Street,  will be cleared of vehicles to make space for food trucks to sell to their following fans. 

"Brickell Motors loves to be part of the community.  We want to provide a spot for everyone nearby to enjoy the great cuisine and unique dining experience these business owners have to offer." Said Mario Murgado, owner of Brickell Honda.

   Brickell GMC supports the Stingaree Alumni Football Booster Club - Miami Senior High! GO STINGAREES!

    9/23/2010 - Brickell Buick GMC  of Miami is partnering with the Stingaree Alumni Football Booster Club - Miami Senior High to provide the league's players and coaches with equipment, a monetary donation, and a chance to raise up to $10,000!
Mario Murgado and Alex Andreus of Brickell Buick GMC dropped in on the Stingaree football team during yesterday's afternoon practice to present them with a football kit filled with equipment bags, 5-gallon water coolers, dry erase coaches' clipboards, and t-shirts.

They also announced the booster club's opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through a fundraising opportunity where one lucky recipient in the Southeast Region of the country will win a new 2011 GMC Terrain, which is being donated by Brickell Buick GMC and other Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-area Buick-GMC dealerships. One second prize winner will be selected from the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-area to win a tailgate package that includes a $350-$400 grill and a $100 gift card for the grocery store of the winner's choice. One-hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to the Stingaree Alumni Football Booster Club, and they can use the funds in any way they choose.









Brickell Motors Supports 'Pull Your Pants Up' Event

About a dozen at-risk youths, part of a Buick-GMC sponsored group called "Pull Your Pants Up," recently toured the Brickell Motors facility in Miami and learned about both the car business and life from dealership president and CEO Mario Murgado.

Pull Your Pants Up is a community outreach initiative focusing on an at-risk youth group that has adopted the custom of wearing their pants at mid-waist (hence the name of the program) and who have had limited contact with strong, positive male role models.

Murgado gave the group a tour of the Brickell Motors dealership including the showroom, parts and service divisions, and he even challenged two young men in the group to help change the oil on a truck in less than 30 minutes.  He then gave an inspired talk about his career in the car industry and how he has grown Brickell Motors from a small organization with only three employees into a major employer of more than 100.  He also offered insight into how an operation of this size and scope depends on every employee and why it is important to be dedicated and disciplined in your home and work life.

"I look forward to any opportunity to try to inspire young people," said Murgado.  "We live in the greatest country in the world that offers opportunity for everyone.  We have to groom and inspire the next generation." 

Murgado, who started in the business as a salesman and worked his way up, holding nearly every position possible in the dealership industry, was selected by GM for this program because of his notable, successful story.

Pull Your Pants Up exposes at-risk youths to success stories which show the value of education, hard work, dedication, and long term goal-setting and planning.  Organizers of the initiative believe that such experiences can make an incredible difference when it comes to forging a rewarding future - even for minorities who have had to battle incredible odds.

"I tried to impart that by being diligent and working hard, you can reach even the loftiest of goals," said Murgado.  "You never know, we might have the next Bill Gates or Lee Iacocca in that group."

 





GM Vehicles sent to Haiti

Brickell Motors of Miami, a Buick, GMC and Honda dealership, was one of the many companies to show support in Haiti. More than 2 dozen GM vehicles packed with relief supplies were headed to Haiti and owner Mario Murgado was at the forefront of the effort.  The GM Foundation donation is part of a coordinated effort of the GM Foundation and the William J Clinton Foundation in response to the dire need for trucks to transport supplies to survivors: such as water, food, medical equipment and much more.
