Frank Myers Auto Maxx will have more than 10 career opportunities available at a job fair to be held in March. This announcement comes at a time when the job market is still suffering and several local businesses have been forced to close.
With fewer car buyers in the market, auto dealers must stand out from the rest. At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, it may be Uncle Frank, flashy commercials and the free gourmet coffee bar that draw attention but some customers say it’s as simple as getting what they want.
“Good cars at a local, family owned business. That’s pretty much it. I’m big on family owned businesses,” said Jerry Chilton, car buyer.
“The service we have always got from them has always been outstanding. We always come back to them,” said Diane Sawyer, car buyer.
“Our strategy has always been to treat the customer like family and always look for the future business instead of that one deal,” said Tracy Myers, owner of the business. Tracy is known for his zany commercials and wacky television show. He says in this economy it’s the sale of used cars that are keeping their dealerships in the red.
“It is a great bargain to buy a pre-owned car. That is a smart purchase and I think people are really watching their budgets now and I think used cars are really popular and I think we are kind of the go to dealer for used cars,” he said.
Even with car sales down by as much as 16 percent in the United States, Myers says his dealership is doing well enough to expand and that’s why he is hiring for the new positions.
“Fortunately for us, we never saw the slowdown that other dealers saw and are selling a lot more cars right now than most other stores. In addition to that, we just got named the number one small business in the state and this is a really exciting time for us,” he said.
With the closure of other dealerships, Myers believes there is a great employee market.
The job fair will be held in March and an announcement will be made soon to the exact time, date and location.

Tracy Myers just announced the release of the first image from his upcoming book, Uncle Frank Sez: A View From The Front Porch Of A Self-Made Man. Myers, who is commonly known as the Nations Premier Transportation Solutions Provider, has been working on the book for more than 10 years. He is currently the owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, a Winston Salem, NC used car dealership that specializes in helping people find, qualify for and own the vehicle of their dreams with little or no money down…even with less than perfect credit.
Growing Up With Uncle Frank
“As a child, I was aware that my dad would say things that were very unique. As I grew older, it became obvious that his sayings were not only unique but also profound. I started writing them down when I turned 30 years old and now, 10 years later, the sayings of Uncle Frank will be immortalized forever in a book,” said Myers. “I’m very excited about its release and happy about debuting the first sketch from the book. The artist, Amit, created the very first sketch of Uncle Frank more than a decade ago. He is extremely talented and I am thankful that he agreed to be a part of this project.”
Who is this ‘Uncle Frank’ who, until now, has only been seen in a cartoon or costume form? Myers claims his book has the answer. “Over the years, I’ve had thousands of people to ask me about Uncle Frank. They want to know if he’s my dad, my uncle or a fictional character on television. I’ll be the first to admit that shrouding the Uncle Frank persona with a certain mystique has always been a part of the plan. However, once and for all I finally come clean in the book. I think that some folks will be surprised by what they learn…not only about Uncle Frank but from what he ‘sez’.”
Despite how mysterious the book sounds, Myers assures us that the book is fun and simple enough for anybody to enjoy. He says he avoids proper grammar in favor of real ‘Frankisms’ and creative analogies. “Despite it’s simplicity, this book will have a lot to offer to everybody, from stay at home moms to seasoned business professionals. I truly believe this book could redefine the way people look at the world.”
Uncle Frank Sez: A View From The Front Porch Of A Self-Made Man is being published by Celebrity Press®. They publish books from thought leaders around the world. Celebrity Press™ has published books alongside Brian Tracy, Ron Legrand, Mari Smith, Kelly O’Neil, Alexis Martin Neely and many other of the biggest experts across diverse fields.
