As our community grows, we want to make sure our business is operated on the principles that will keep pace. Every partner strongly feels that our greatest assets in the future growth and progress of the Wilson County Store are our team members, our guests, and our product lineup.
Wilson County Motors believes strongly in supporting the local and regional community in order to promote growth, assisting those less fortunate than us, and supporting organizations that make Middle Tennessee a great place to live. While we are proud to provide generous monetary support to numerous causes, we feel contributing time and hard work is just as important. That's the Wilson County personal touch.
In 1927, Mr. Winstead P. Bone, Jr., in partnership with Mr. A. W. Hooker, founded Wilson County Motors and envisioned the dynamic growth and progress experienced by our community. Their ethical business practices and sense of community leadership worked hand-in-hand in building the success and progress we now enjoy.
Originally, the Dealership was located on South Maple Street where it survived fire, flood, war, and depression. The Dealership moved to its current location in 1964. As our community grows, we want to make sure our business is operated on the principles that will keep pace. Every partner strongly feels that our greatest assets in the future growth and progress of the Wilson County Store are our team members, our guests, and our product lineup.
Our founder, W. P. Bone, Jr. retired in 1980. W.P was then partnered with Sam Hopkins and Dan Denney. Mr. Hopkins retired shortly before he died in 1985. Dan continued with the dealership until his death in 2005. W. P. Bone, III began as a teenager, and bought into the business in 1969. He is currently partnered with his sons, Mitchel (2006) and Paine Bone (2007). Nancy Bone began her time at the dealership in 2003. Other long-term team members include Sheree Griffin (1972), Robert Crawford (1979), Rick Tomlinson (1985), David Thompson (1988), David Taylor (1990), Tracy Johns (1990), and Richard Garrison (1993).
What makes us a different kind of dealer? We're not only family-owned, but our family members are here every day of the week. And we listen to our customers. And do you know what they're saying? They say that we DO treat people better than at other dealerships they've been to. And the Lebanon Democrat and Mt. Juliet News have selected us as the one and only Best of the Best of Wilson County in both Auto Sales and Service. We're Wilson County Motors, and we're YOUR greater Nashville Chevrolet, Buick, GMC dealer.
