Bryan Jones's Company Details
It is the journey of a pioneer company that opened its doors in 1915, the year that Babe Ruth hit his first home run, the first stone was laid on the Lincoln Memorial, and the one-millionth Model T was produced. Over a hundred years, Sanders Motor Company was founded in Smithfield, North Carolina, the regions first Ford dealership!In what was affectionately known as the "Roaring 20s," Mr. Sanders moved his growing enterprise to the state capital, where it took root as a pillar of the community and has resided here ever since. More than half a century after its first retail sale, the dealership settled in a second Raleigh location, in what would become a city landmark, on the corner of Blount and Davie Street.With the retirement of Mr. Sanders came the new leadership of a close and trusted associate, Mr. Charlie Wiygul. Mr Wiygul was a man who revered the company's history and success, but recognized the need for progressive planning and change. Thus, in 1983, after a gainful decade at the Downtown Boulevard location, Charlie Wiygul Ford was moved to 4900 North Boulevard (now Capital Blvd), which to many naysayers seemed too remote and too "country." Time has shown Mr. Wiygul to be a visionary, as the remote, country site now rests in the heart of our bustling and thriving metropolis.On April 1, 1985, a 25-year old man named Tim Michael claimed the third leg of the company's journey, as Charlie Wiygul Ford became Capital Ford. From the moment he set foot on the premises, Tim conveyed a vigor, enthusiasm and commitment that has never wavered; his passion for the business, with customer service at its core, is heralded by customers and competitors, alike. Through the years, this organization has continued to grow with 15 different locations offering 12 different brands covering North Carolina. Capital Automotive provides consistent customer experiences at all locations and is excited to help you with any of your automotive needs!
