I was born in Huntsville, AL. My father was in the car business for over 30+ years. I grew up going to the dealership and helping him with various tasks on the weekends. I started my Sales Career in Dallas Texas at a Ford Dealership and made my way back to North Alabama. I have been with Lynn Layton Ford since 2014 and my favorite vehicle is by far the F150 Raptor.

This is my 3rd vehicle purchase at Lynn Layton Ford in Decatur, AL. Each time the people I've worked with are friendly, helpful and no pressure. They truly want me to love my car, and it shows. They focus Decatur, AL. Each time the people I've worked with are friendly, helpful and no pressure. They truly want me to love my car, and it shows. They focus on building trust and honesty so that they get repeat business and their customers are comfortable recommending them to family and friends. Some places take you for what they can and don't care if you ever come back. Lynn Layton goes the extra mile every time! (Pun intended lol) More

From the moment we arrived, he made us feel completely at ease—never once pressuring us and always going above and beyond to help us find what was right for our family. By the end of the process, Shad didn’t just feel like a great salesman—he felt like family. He was unbelievably kind and patient with our 3-year-old, even taking the time to get him snacks and giving him toys to keep him entertained. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly meant the world to us as parents. One of the other sales consultants even did a full-on magic show to keep our little one happy while we worked through numbers—such an unexpected and appreciated touch! The entire staff worked together to accommodate our needs and goals, and we never felt like just another transaction. Austin in finance was another standout—completely upfront, fair, and made the financial side of things as smooth as possible. We would 100% use them again and again. If you’re heading to this dealership, ask for Shad—you won’t be disappointed! More
