Tyler will be the first to admit that he NEVER thought he would go into the car business, - his uncle owned and operated a small dealership (James Smith Motors) out of Somerset & Tyler's Grandfather also sold vehicles for several years - but all it took was one GREAT Sales Manager to convince him to give it a try for him to jump on board, and we have been amazed by his natural talent of helping customers find their DREAM vehicle on our lot!
