I’ve been around cars my whole life, starting in the business back in 1969. Over the years, I’ve done a little bit of everything from old car restorations to hot rod building and I’ve even been lucky enough to have my work written up in a few magazines. What I enjoy most, though, is meeting people and helping them find exactly what they’re looking for. I had a very successful used car lot and auto repair business for over 30 years in the same location. Even though I’ve “retired” a couple of times, I just can’t stay away from the car business. I am a strong believer in good customer service and I always do my best to make sure folks get the best deal possible whether it be a lease or a purchase. At the end of the day, it’s not just about cars, it’s about people, and that’s what keeps me going.

Richard made leasing my car an absolute pleasure. He was honest, knowledgeable, patient, and never once made me feel pressured. From the moment I met him, he made me feel like more than just another customer—he made me feel comfortable, valued, and genuinely taken care of. He’s one of the kindest, most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met, and it’s clear he truly cares about every person who walks through the door. He went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust, ask for Richard. I couldn’t recommend him more highly! Thank you, Richard, for your kindness and for making what could have been a stressful experience such a wonderful one.
