Because of his love of automobile sales, Stan and a friend, Gary Kilpatrick, went into business together in 1980, purchasing a thriving dealership owned by Joe Shapard in Tullahoma since 1945. When Gary Kilpatrick decided to sell his interest in 1985, Stan purchased Gary's interest become the store's sole owner.
Stan McNabb’s philosophy of business ethics has gained him the excellent reputation that has made his business such a great success. Constantly adding new car lines, he now has dealerships in three locations: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, and GMC in Tullahoma; another store in Tullahoma consisting of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep; and a third location in Lewisburg consisting of Ford and Mercury.
Plans for the future include a new, enlarged facility at Tullahoma, which will hopefully begin construction in late 2008. The “Bargain Center,” a fairly new addition, has also been thriving as a great solution for first time buyers. Because of the quality and strength of their client base, Stan McNabb has the power to finance just about anyone. This service has special appeal to college students, who must consider a pre-owned automobile as their first vehicle purchase. It’s Stan’s aim to assist everyone in securing reliable transportation at a price they can afford.
In addition to being recognized as one of the only full-service dealerships in the area, we were also honored to have been ranked #8 out of more than 100 Tennessee Chevrolet dealerships in sales effectiveness.
Stan attributes his success not only to his employees, but also to the customers who return time and time again to do business with his company. Stan and Jamie invite their customers to take advantage of the many specials that will be found on the new Stan McNabb website as they celebrate their 29th year in business.
