In the heart of Front Royal, G&M Auto Sales stands as a testament to the durability and success of family-owned businesses. As the dealership commemorates its 70th anniversary, owners Gary and Tammy Bunch joined Valley Today host Janet Michael and Front Royal/Warren County Chamber of Commerce President, Niki Foster to share the story of their storied legacy. From its humble beginnings as a small car lot started by Gary's father after he left the Navy, G&M Auto Sales has grown exponentially. Gary's father, driven by a passion for cars and people, laid the foundation with a simple yet potent motto: 'Sell a good car or truck at a fair price and stand behind it.' This guiding principle has remained the cornerstone of the business for generations. The dealership has greatly expanded since its inception, with four generations of the Bunch family contributing to its growth. Tammy recalls how their sons came into the business straight out of high school, starting from detailing cars to eventually overseeing the service department and sales. This deep family involvement has strengthened their ties to the local community. G&M Auto Sales is known for supporting various local sports teams and nonprofits, embodying a commitment to community service. 'We might not be the biggest contributor, but we try not to turn anyone down,' Tammy shared, emphasizing their commitment to helping the community as a whole. They are the presenting sponsor for this year's Wine & Craft Festival, with their logo featured on wine glasses, tickets, and posters. This sponsorship underscores their ongoing commitment to supporting local events and engaging with the community. Despite its rich history, G&M Auto Sales has embraced change and innovation. With the next generation at the helm, the dealership has stepped into the digital age, optimizing their operations with modern technology and social media. 'My sons have really taken to the technical side, optimizing our advertising and online presence,' Gary noted. This adaptability has ensured that while they stay rooted in their traditional values, they are also ready to meet the needs of modern consumers. An unwavering dedication to customer service is another hallmark of G&M Auto Sales. Whether it's through their transparent service department or their willingness to go the extra mile – literally – to deliver vehicles to their fleet clients, the Bunch family prioritizes customer satisfaction above all. 'If you got a problem, I got a problem,' Gary emphasizes, highlighting their comprehensive warranties and commitment to after-sale service. As G&M Auto Sales celebrates 70 years, the Bunch family remains a beacon of reliability and community spirit in Front Royal. With an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service and a willingness to evolve with the times, they honor the legacy of Gary's father and pave the way for future generations. Whether you're in need of a car or just a testament to the strength of family and community, G&M Auto Sales stands ready to serve for many more years to come.
