Frank Myers Auto Maxx Presents: Beat The Dealer July 2011

Posted on by

Q: I was shopping for cars last week and got very confused. Some of the vehicles had extended warranties, some had service contracts available, while others were listed “AS IS – NO WARRANTY”. What is the difference? – K. Donohue, Greensboro, NC

A: Great question. A warranty is very different than a service contract. A warranty is generally included in your purchase and has no additional charge. A service contract is generally purchased by the customer and is offered through a third party administrator. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, “service contract” means a “written contract to perform, over a fixed period of time or for a specified duration, services relating to the maintenance or repair (or both) of a consumer product.” If you buy a vehicle and the Federal Buyers Guide is marked “AS IS – NO WARRANTY”, Caveat emptor (Latin for “Let the buyer beware”).

You will find the dealers warranty/service contract information (or lack of) listed on the Federal Buyers Guide. It is a Federal Law that each vehicle display this document. If this document is not in clear view, ask the dealer to provide it for you. If they can’t provide it quickly…RUN!

Fame For Frank Myers Auto Mascot, Commercials and Slogan May Spread

Posted on by

Winston-Salem, NC used car dealership Frank Myers Auto Maxx is known for its flashy commercials, patriotic Uncle Frank mascot and “Everybody Rides” slogan.

This Wednesday, a  film crew will be at the used car dealership on Patterson Avenue. However, they won’t be filming another quirky commercial. Instead, they will be making a documentary.

“We were hushed for almost six months and couldn’t say anything about it,” said Tracy Myers, the dealership’s owner.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Film Part Of Series

The documentary will be part of a series of films that will focus on businesses and people. It will be produced by Loud Entertainment, an entertainment company based in Orlando and Los Angeles.

The film will look at the history of the dealership and Tracy Myer’s “uphill battle” to grow Frank Myers Auto Maxx, said Nick Nanton, a co-owner of Loud Entertainment and a producer and director.

Nanton recently received two Emmy nominations for the short film “Jacob’s Turn,” the story of a boy with Down syndrome and his love of baseball.

“I’ve worked with over 500 businesses around the world and I look for diamonds in the rough,” Nanton said. “Tracy is certainly one of them.”

History Of Frank Myers Auto Maxx

Frank Myers, Tracy Myers’ great-grandfather, opened the original business as a general store 83 years ago. Later, he began selling cars.

Tracy Myers bought the dealership from his father, Franklin “Frank” Myers in 2005. Frank Myers has several other businesses, including Credit Quick of Winston-Salem, Big Daddy’s Auto Rental and Big Daddy’s Storage.

The dealership is known for its quirky TV commercials, often featuring Uncle Frank, an Uncle Sam figure who likes to dance.

Tracy Myers hears “Everybody Rides” everywhere he goes.

“At the bank, a restaurant, Wal-Mart, Target and the mall, somebody’s yelling at me, ‘Everybody Rides!’ ” he said. “It’s just become part of the Myers’ lifestyle.”

In 2010, the dealership was honored as the No. 1 small business in North Carolina by Business Leader magazine. It was also chosen last year as the only independent dealer in North Carolina to receive the Nations Premier Independent Dealer Award.

A major part of Loud Entertainment’s movie will be shot during the Myers Family Community Appreciation Picnic, which is open to the public, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday June 22, 2011.

Members of the Myers family will be interviewed at various venues in the city throughout the week.

“It will be a nice tribute to the city of Winston-Salem as well as our business,” Tracy Myers said.

A release date for the film has not been set. But when it is released, Myers plans to have a red-carpet premier of the movie.

Happy Fathers Day, Uncle Frank

Posted on by

At least once a day, someone comes up to me and asks, “So…how’s your Uncle?” Of course, they’re not asking about my REAL Uncle. They’re asking about the man that I’ve been referring to as “Uncle Frank” on televison commercials over the past 15 years. That man is my father, Frank Myers.

For the record, my father is alive and well. He’s doing what he loves doing most; being an entrpreneur. I’ve truly never met anyone that liked the “thrill of conquering” a business model quite like my father does. He’ll come up with a concept for a new business, brings it to life and makes it successful more times than not. Then he gets bored and moves on to the next challenge.

For those of you that don’t know my “story”, I’d like to share it with you. Not because it’s that special but rather the misconceptions that revolve around it. Lots of folks assume that since my unofficial title is PHD (Pappa Had a Dealership), that I would have had an easy time getting into the used car business. Indeed, my father had big plans in store for me, only they meant working 60 hour weeks in the detail shop!

I was 15 years old when I first started working in my father’s detail shop. I went away to college and spent my free time as a salesperson at a local Toyota dealership. If my father had known I was working for another car dealership other than his own, he wouldn’t have been very happy to say the least. When I returned home years later, my father didn’t do me any favors and offered me a position in the detail shop.

I worked my way up the ladder through every aspect of the used motor vehicle industry. 5 years ago, at the age of 34, I bough the family car dealership and sold almost 1,400 vehicles in my first year.

Fast forward to 2011 and I still love this business as much as I did the day I sold my first car. Of course, it’s easy to be happy when the dealership has posted a 144% increase since 2008. It saddens me that lots of quality dealers that I consider friends and mentors were forced out of business due to the struggling economy. My dad is still my biggest supporter as well as my biggest critic. I find a lot of humor in the fact that he says he hates the internet, even though he uses it daily in all of his own businesses.

Regardless of our differences, there is one thing we can both agree on that took us way too long to realize. If we put God and family before the dealership, then the dealership will always prosper with a lot of hard work and prayer.

Happy Fathers Day to the best dad in the world and the best “car guy” that I’ve ever met…Uncle Frank!

PS: The photo above is of me (on the left) and my dad (on the right) in 1994 the day after I had sold my first car at the dealership. This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my dad.
