Career Opportunities Available At Frank Myers Auto Maxx

More than 10 career opportunities will be up for grabs at a job fair to be held in August at Frank Myers Auto Maxx. This announcement comes at a time when the auto industry is still suffering and other local dealerships 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 August and an announcement will be made soon to the exact time, date and location.
