Frank Myers Auto Announces February Sales Pro Of Month

Posted on by

Frank Myers Auto Maxx is pleased to announce that Mr. Mike Thomas has been named the Non-Commissioned Sales Pro of the Month for the month of February. To capture the top spot for the second month in a row, Mike sold 22 and a half cars. That number of vehicles is the 3rd most number ever sold in the history of the dealership. The only employees to have ever sold more than Mike was his father, Robert Thomas (now Director of Service) and Tracy Myers (now the owner).  

Thomas was selected as February 2011 Non-Commissioned Sales Pro of the month for his world-class performance and award-winning accomplishments in the automotive solutions department. What he likes best about working at Frank Myers Auto Maxx is helping folks drive home in the car of their dreams…especially after other dealerships have told them no. Thomas also mentioned how much he enjoys the family atmosphere.

Mastermind of Possibilities at Frank Myers Auto, John Bodenheimer, stated “Mike has come a long way since he started and really deserves this honor. He has become our top sales professional for the month of February and we are all proud of him. His commitment to his profession make it a joy for all of his teammates to be around him on a daily basis.”

Head Honcho, Keith Bowman stated “Mike made it a personal goal to be on top of the pile for two months in a row. It inspires me that he was dedicated to making his dream a reality. To have been able to sell nearly 23 cars takes something special…like tiger blood flowing through his veins. It is no surprise to me that he made sales pro of the month. If he continues to be as great as he was in February, I would expect him to be the sales pro of the month every month.”

Winston-Salem Used Car Shoppers Review Frank Myers Auto Maxx

“I bought a 2008 Honda Accord from Frank Myers Auto Maxx a little over a year ago. I was only 21 years old and had no credit to speak of. I told my salesperson Zack that up front. He was polite and spoke with me not down to me. I was very surprised because a lot of other dealers had laughed at me when I told them I was only 21. Zack did not. He worked diligently to get my car loan approved. Not only did he get it approved, he was able to help me get the exact car I wanted. Since I bought the Honda a year ago, I have been back several times to get my oil changed and their service department is just as impressive as the sales department. Very efficient and well priced. They also explained things to me and didn’t talk over my head. Another good thing is that I Frank Myers Auto Maxx cared enough about me to stay in touch with me over the past year. I’ve received countless emails, phone calls and letters. Everyone in the Triad area of NC should shop at Frank Myers Auto Maxx when looking for a car.” – Rebecca Jefferson

““I got my Mazda 3 from Frank Myers Auto maxx and have been very happy with my decision to buy a car there. They went out of their way to make it easy for me to make a decision that would work for my budget. I had originally looked at the same car with alloy wheels, leather interior and a sunroof but it was going to be more money that I needed to pay. Brandon and Keith helped me to realize that the base model Mazda was going to save my almost $45 a month in car payments! That turned out to be one of the better decisions I have made this year. Brandon is a good salesman. He listened to me and never talked down to me. Keith was one of his managers and went over all the numbers with me. He did it slowly so I could understand and didn’t get frustrated when I asked him to repeat the numbers a second and third time. The owner Tracy came around and shook my hand twice. You could tell he wanted to make sure I was being treated properly and with respect. This is a good car dealer and i recommend them to anyone I know.” – Florence Shallote

Unlikely Educator Spurs Economic Growth With Alphabet

Posted on by

Frank Myers Auto has made used car buying easy as ABC

Used car buying easy as ABC in Winston Salem, NC

WINSTON SALEM – At it once again is the uncommon car dealer, Tracy Myers from Frank Myers Auto Maxx, just in time for the new school year to begin. Myers says his new approach to owning a nicer, newer car will simplify your life and help the local economy.

“Let’s face it…everybody wants a nicer, newer car. And buying a car is great for the economy! A better car can help you get to work, get your kids to school on time and in style, plus it helps me keep a lot of good people employed here at my business…not to mention the countless other folks who work to design, build, transport, maintain, fuel and insure the vehicles,” explained Myers.

Myers says that buying a car doesn’t need to be complicated or stressful. He believes that there’s a lesson to be learned from grade school. “My kids are getting ready to head back to school, and that got me thinking about learning the ABCs and 123s – and how, back in school, life was simple and fun. I think buying a car should be simple and fun too…so I created the ABCs of Car Buying.”

This “back to school” themed sale makes this month an excellent time to upgrade to a newer car, truck van or SUV.  Here’s how it works:

A: We’ll pay $1000 more than fair market value for any trade, whether it’s paid for or not.

B: Bring in just $500.00 for a down payment, and you can drive away the same day

C: Credit is not an issue. We work with the most helpful lenders in the country and understand that bad things happen to good people. Our goal this month is 100% approval.

“We always have fun here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx but this month is going to be something to remember. We’re helping the schools, helping the kids, helping the economy and helping you too. It’s never been easier to get a nicer, newer car!”

The generous trade-in allowance was inspired by the popular Cash For Clunkers program initiated by President Obama, which proves even car dealers can learn a thing or two.

“People are still talking about Cash For Clunkers…which happened one year ago this month. I pay attention to what my customers want. They’ve been asking for Cash For Clunkers to come back, and I’m giving it to them. I thought back to school time was the perfect time to show off what I’ve learned!” explained Myers.

Why Is August A Good Month To Buy?

Many people don’t realize that the new car manufacturers start releasing next year’s models this time of year. That means that every car at the dealership essentially turns one year older this month than it was last month. That extra month drives prices down making August one of the best times of year to buy.

Banged Up Credit From The School of Hard Knocks?

“At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, we realize that things have been pretty tough the past few years. We’re really good at helping you overcome the bruises on your credit report that you’ve earned from living in the real world. We believe in helping people make a fresh start. Come in and give us a chance to help,” says Myers.

ABCs Make Buying A Car Fast, Fun and Easy

What will you do with the extra money you receive for your trade-in? You could use it to lower your monthly payments. You could use it to be able to afford “more car” for your money. You could use it to pay off other bills. You could even use it buy all new clothes for your kids before school starts. It’s entirely up to you.

Come in to Frank Myers Auto Maxx located at 4200 N. Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC or pre-register for the sales event at https://www.FrankMyersAuto.com and buy a nicer, newer vehicle before August 30 and take advantage of $1,000 more for your trade, $500 down payments, and more lenient credit requirements.

2010 NIADA National Quality Dealer of the Year Named

Posted on by
Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Sales, was the 2006 winner.

Tracy Myers, owner of a Winston-Salem used car dealership, responds to the 2010 National Quality Dealer of the Year awards winner.

The 2010 Quality Dealer of the Year was unveiled last Thursday night at The National Independent Automobile Dealers Associations 64th Annual Convention and Expo in Las Vegas.

Paul Warren Claborn won the award, who was recognized during the ceremony with what is considered to be the most prestigious NIADA honor.

Claborn, who owns WholesaleCars.com in Albertville, Ala., has worked in the industry almost three decades during a career that started with him detailing cars as a high school student.

After earning the same honors from his state’s dealer association, Claborn was chosen from a group of 21 candidates for NIADA’s national honors.

To determine the winner, Northwood University provides a judge panel, which looks at various factors including how candidates have contributed to the industry and been involved with their respective communities.

“Since its inception, the National Quality Dealer of the Year Award has been the golden ring that all used car dealers strived to obtain,” stated 2006 NIADA National Quality Dealer of the Year, Tracy Myers.

“There’s no doubt that Paul and his family are as excited to have earned the right to be called NIADA’s Quality Dealer of the Year as much as me, my family, and my Team at Frank Myers Auto Maxx was back in 2006,” he added.

Looking at Claborn’s career in more detail, after detailing cars in his school days, he was able to open a home equity line of credit by working two jobs. He used this credit to purchase and sell vehicles via classified.

Claborn said he “was forced to start my automotive business” when the manufacturing plant where he was employed shut down.

And that he did, launching a wholesale business in 1981. At the time, he had just two employees, but would gradually build up his store.

These days, his company’s two locations — one of which just specializes as a Buy-Here, Pay-Here store — employ 22 people. Moreover, his membership in the Alabama IADA dates back to 1983.

Looking at his community involvement, Claborn gave Stepping Ahead — an addiction recovery program — a van, and has provided three local high schools with personal scholarships.

Claborn also takes part in jail and prison ministries. For the last three years, he has mentored a young fatherless boy.

“We live in the most wonderful country on the face of this earth. This country, like no other, affords us one guarantee, the pursuit of happiness,” Claborn stated. “It’s up to us as individuals as to how much effort we want to put into this pursuit.”

Frank Myers Auto Will Facilitate Chrysler Recall

Posted on by

Winston-Salem, NC Used Car Dealer Assists Chrysler Owners With Recall

Nearly 35,000 Dodge Calibers are being recalled in the United States by Chrysler to fix a potential problem with sticky gas pedals, the same issue that has affected millions of Toyotas.

Chrysler Group said it will recall about 25,000 Calibers in the U.S. from the 2007 model year and a limited number of 2007 Jeep Compass SUVs to inspect vehicles built between March and May of 2006. The remaining vehicles are in Mexico, Canada and elsewhere.

The pedals were made by CTS Corp., the Elkhart, Ind., company that manufactured pedals involved in the recall of more than 2 million Toyotas earlier this year. Chrysler told NHTSA the pedals were “a completely different design” and made “with different tooling” than the pedals involved in Toyota’s recall.

An investigation into the Chrysler pedals was opened by NHTSA in April. The auto company noted that the small SUVs have “smart brake” technology allowing the brake to override the gas pedal and safely bring the vehicle to a stop. Chrysler said it did not consider the problem a safety defect but decided to conduct a safety recall anyway.

The automaker said it was unaware of any reports of accidents, injuries or property damage related to the pedals. In documents filed with NHTSA, Chrysler estimated that 30 percent of the vehicles covered by the recall may need to have the pedal assembly replaced.

Robert Thomas, the Automotive Service Director at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, said that they are ready to handle the consumer demand. “Frank Myers Auto Maxx is, as usual, ready to handle this unfortunate situation. We are offering to facilitate the recall at no charge to anyone who owns any of the Chrysler products mentioned.”

To see if your car is included in the recall, call the service department at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, NC as soon as possible. The number is (336) 831-0656 or you can visit the dealership website at https://www.frankmyersauto.com
