general management strategies, financial management principles, successful
merchandising techniques, effective human resource practices, and

WHY CONSIDER BUYING FROM A CMD®?
These dealers strive to uphold the highest of business practices. They
comply with all laws and regulations. Their customers (you the consumer) are

responding to the needs of that customer ethically, sensitively, and
professionally. |

Meet the rest of the Davis
Auto Sales Family |

The first son,
JW has shown great interest in the auto
sales business since he was a child. He has grown up in
and around the operation. His desire and his youthful
energy are the key ingredients for his success so far in
the company. He oversees and manages the sales side of the
business and Off-Road Shop. Always extremely busy, he will find
time to help you pick out the perfect vehicle or get you the parts
you need to build one the way you want it. He also
excels in his job as purchasing agent. JW displays confidence and a
willingness to work with our customers and vendors. Courteousness,
honesty and willingness to help are the traits required of an employee
and he has all of these and more. JW is a valuable part of Davis Auto Sales. |

Brian, the middle son, has been working in the business since December 1998. He takes his job seriously and performs any task given to him quickly and efficiently. We have great confidence in our finished product knowing Brian has given it the safety and mechanical OK. Brian worked as a mechanic for his Uncle in his auto repair business prior to joining the Davis Auto Sales Team. He gained valuable knowledge there and has always exhibited a great mechanical ability. With Brian on board Davis Auto Sales can offer quality service by making needed repairs prior to the sale and occasionally warranty related items after the sale. Brian proves to be a valuable asset to Davis Auto Sales. One can foresee a challenging and rewarding future ahead for him and our company. Brian has always loved to create and fabricate. Brian puts his mechanical skills and imagination into every monster street truck creation. You can find these completed master pieces at Davis Creations. |

Daniel is the youngest of the three boys and started working at the dealership part-time, while attending high school. Daniel is continuing his education at John Tyler Community College in the evenings, but you can still find him working every available moment at Davis & Sons Auto Service creating those trucks on the Davis Creations webpage. Daniel works to put together the awesome monster street trucks you see offered for sale at Davis Auto Sales. Daniel proves to be a valuable asset to Davis Auto Sales and Davis and Sons Auto Service. There is a bright future ahead for Daniel because of his mechanical ability and his knowledge of lifted trucks.
