Carter Myers Automotive operates in the motor vehicle manufacturing and retail sector, with its headquarters located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since its founding in 1924, the company has grown from a small hardware store specializing in machine parts into a prominent automotive group. The organization currently maintains dealerships across Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and is expanding into Maryland. It represents 18 new car brands and maintains an inventory of over 3,000 new and used vehicles. The workforce includes ASE Certified technicians who also serve as Virginia State Inspectors, supported by a regional wholesale parts network.
A distinct feature of the company is its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), established in 1979, which allows associates to earn ownership stakes. This structure aligns the interests of employees with the company's success, a practice rooted in the belief that shared ownership fosters shared results.
