Who is City Auto Group?
Get to know our history
City Volkswagen of Chicago is the same place where owner Anthony Scala had his very first job in life. His father ran the Lynch Auto group back in the ’80s and ’90s and Anthony was a porter in his teenage years. Anthony grew up in Sauganash and went to St. Patrick High School. He continued working as a porter in college at a dealership in Evanston, now City Volkswagen of Evanston.
Anthony saw the car business from a different perspective and vowed to do things differently if he ever had a store of his own. Fast forward nearly 20 years, he is a first-generation car dealer who believes the purchasing and servicing experience should be transparent, convenient, and fun!
Anthony has many local ties as he grew up in the area and still lives locally. He believes in not only servicing the local community but actually being a part of it. Today, the goal is to make City Auto Group the best auto group in the state and a staple in every community.
