I own the
business and have done so since 1987. We started in North side
of Richmond and grew to 2 locations and 12 employees before
Gaston washed everything away in Sept. 2004. Since then we have
downsized and moved to higher ground in the far West end of
Richmond. We are now in Goochland just over the Henrico
Goochland line. One mile west of route 288 from Chesterfield. We
have kept 3 employees from the old location and added 4 new
ones.
I am lucky to say that I am still here. My name is Walter
and I live in Richmond with my three unbelievable kids and
my wife Carol. We live back off the road in a peaceful home
with 7 chickens, 1 dog, 4 cats, & miscellaneous critters
that my daughter picks out of the creeks. My son Sammy is a
first

class guy and is very talented at baseball and soccer or
anything else he puts his mind to. James is my 10 year old
and he is smarter than I am after my 45 years here on earth.
He reads like an editor and loves bike riding with his
brother. Life is great when we are together. |
Julie has been with me for about 10 years and is the nuts
and bolts that keep the whole company going down the road
straight and sound. She is originally from PA and returns to
visit her 2 grandchildren and family. She really has a great
even disposition that has always endeared her to our customers
and the many faces and employees who have come through our doors
over the years.
Lennie is our Salesman. He has been in several other
businesses but took a chance doing something new when he came to
work for us. He is a single dad who gets the most out of time
with his kids. He has a great group of boys Luke and Brooks who
he spends lots of time with at baseball and football games. When
he is here he treats the customer the way I have always hoped
that someone would. He respects the customerís time and tries to
help them choose the right vehicle that they well enjoy long
after the purchase. It takes a lot off of me knowing that he is
here and that everyone will be treated as well or betters than I
could.
Ryland is in charge of service, and handles all of the mechanical aspects regarding you new car or truck before it is put on the lot for sale. He assures that each and every one of our vehicles has been thoroughly inspected and serviced correctly, and makes the extra effort that is the reason so many people come back to us, over and over for their car and truck purchases.
