“First off, I am very excited and thankful for the opportunity to step into this new role and become a 4th generation owner here at Payne Chevrolet. I’ve grown up around the dealership most of my life, however, these past few years, it has been great to see a more in-depth view of each department and how everything works together as a cohesive unit.
“Stepping into a more big picture role has been enlightening and quite the learning curve but thankfully we have a great team of managers and staff that have helped make my transition a bit easier. I am also proud to be a part of a family legacy that has been around since 1926.
“I look forward to what the future holds as I embrace this incredible opportunity to serve our community here in Robertson County.”
“Personally, I am very excited to have my son join the family business as an owner this year. It’s a proud moment, that’s for sure. It’s also great to have someone who brings new ideas to the table and is able to see things from a different perspective.” David Payne
Alex told Smokey Barn News that his door is always open for anyone that would like to come by and talk business or just say hello.
