Our History
Kia of Wilmington was originally founded in 1916 as Delaware Motor Sales, serving the entire Delaware area for over 100 years! In 1982, the current ownership assumed control of our dealer group, now known as AutoTeam Delaware; which includes Delaware Cadillac, Delaware Subaru, and Kia of Wilmington. Kia of Wilmington was added in 2009, and offers every Kia amenity.

Community Involvement
We Support the United Way of Delaware
2022 marks the 10th year that we have partnered with the
United Way of Delaware through our Kia of Wilmington store to assist with their
fundraising efforts, where donors are entered into a drawing to win a brand new
car! This most recent fund raising year, the United Way of Delaware had
over 1,500 names that the finalists were chosen from, and at $150 minimum
donation per name, that's at least an estimated $225,000 that we were able to help the
United Way of Delaware raise!  All of the donations from the raffle
benefit the United Way's Community Impact Fund that addresses early childhood
reading, education, income, and health.

We Support Christiana Care Health Organization's Center for Women's and
Children's Health
As of 2022, our Delaware Subaru store has
partnered with Christiana Care's Center for Women's and Children's Health for
the last 8 years as our Subaru Share the Love Hometown Charity.  Our
fundraising goes to the support of special needs of babies in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit and their parents.Â
Over the past 8 years, our Delaware
Subaru store has given Christiana Care more than $85,000 as part of our effort
to "Share the Love," which designates funds from every car sold
between November and January each year to select nonprofits. David Paul, M.D.,
chair of Pediatrics, noted: "Generous financial and moral support from
partners like [AutoTeam Delaware and] Delaware Subaru gives us strength and hope
for what's ahead.  We truly are grateful for their ongoing
support."

We Support Nemours Hospital for Children Delaware
2022 marks the 5th year in a row that we have partnered with Nemours Hospital for Children Delaware through our Delaware Cadillac store to assist with their Fund Raising Efforts. In 2022, we supported the Night with Nemours Gala Event, as we did in 2018 and 2019, and assisted with the transportation of over 600 guests from the parking area to the event area - which allowed guests to interact with the Cadillac product. Our $10,000 contribution as a Gold Sponsor this year supports Nemour's Children's Behavioral Health Program. Nemours identified the Gala as an ideal time to raise awareness and financial support for needed expansion of their facilities to address their commitment to expanding their Behavioral Health Program. In both 2020 AND 2021, Delaware Cadillac participated with Nemours Hospital for Children Delaware's Help Our Kids Radiothons.Â
