I've lived in Shelbyville for 33 years and I plan to be here for the rest of my life. I spent the first 25 years here as a full-time pastor, then five as a bi-vocational pastor. Now, I'm retired (though I still speak as a fill-in). For the last eight years, I've loved helping people with one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives -- a vehicle purchase. At Newton -- and from me -- you'll get an honest, no-hassle, no-pressure experience. My goal is to serve every customer as if they lived across the street from me! When I'm not at work, you'll find me with my wife of 42 years or my five children, ages 25 to 38 -- or my eight grandchildren (and counting!)

Friendly and Helpful After talking with Drew over email, my wife and I made the drive up from Alabama to test out an Acura MDX at the pre-owned lot. Even though it was at After talking with Drew over email, my wife and I made the drive up from Alabama to test out an Acura MDX at the pre-owned lot. Even though it was at the GMC dealer, I could tell that Sam had done his research about the car because he was able to answer all my questions. The car was in great shape and at a fair price, so we made the purchase. We are very happy with our experience at Newton! More

Hands down - #1 Ford and Chevy dealer! My wife and I have now bought a Ford and a Chevy vehicle from Newton dealerships in Shelbyville. We purchased a 2017 F450 a couple of years ago and L My wife and I have now bought a Ford and a Chevy vehicle from Newton dealerships in Shelbyville. We purchased a 2017 F450 a couple of years ago and Lisa Cook was fantastic. She kept in contact and once they received the truck we were looking for, she made the sale quick and easy. We just purchased a new Chevy Tahoe and the salesman (Drew Hayes) did a superb job. He was very patient and we felt he was looking out for our best interest. Also, it was really nice to work with someone that knows their vehicle. He was able to explain and demonstrate all the features. The negotiation process was painless. They were more than fair on our trade-in and the Tahoe had huge discounts and rebates. They worked hard and got us an amazing interest rate. Finally, we have worked with Kris Somaru in the finance department on both purchases. He remembered us and the truck we bought two years ago. He thoroughly explained our warranty options and financial agreement. He makes the financing process quick and easy. We can't say enough good things about out entire experience. I just want to encourage anyone that is interested in purchasing a vehicle to take that drive. It will be worth your time... More

We recently moved to the Gulf Coast, and had been checking local dealerships as well as large dealerships within a day’s drive from us. Drew continued to work with Sales Manager until he was able to get exactly what we wanted- much lower price, fair trade on older vehicle, and courtesy delivery to Orange Beach, AL. We have already recommended him to several people because of this experience! The LaPorte’s More
