In 1976, Davis Auto Sales opened in the southern part of Chesterfield County branching off from the already existing Davis Auto Repair family run business which was started in the early 1950's by TL Davis, Jr. Jimmy Davis, always a mechanical handyman, saw a way to buy and repair vehicles in his spare time to make extra money.
Always tinkering, his passion became a business. Instead of doing things against the rules, as many today still do, he made it legal -- got the licensing needed and Davis Auto Sales was born. Mr. Davis was running the show by day and Gail Davis (wife) was handling the books at night, while still working in a corporate career.
Being in a rural area, the business had small beginnings specializing in trucks, 4x4 vehicles, some large sedans, and station wagons. As the times changed, and the localized community that traveled on the rural Woodpecker Road location branched out, it was time to look for a more visible location.

Services
This transit has some miles but its absolutely as clean as they get to be used, freshly service inspected, excellent tire condition, ready to put to work immediately even the owners manual still in the glove box and left and right side doors. This is a excellent service vehicle, inner-city work vehicle or whatever they need this one is ready to go.
This work truck has a box approximately just over 14 feet long height of 6 1/2 feet and 74 width. Roll up rear door that operates well, previously had a liftgate system the main frame of that is still intact, new front tires just installed as well as serviced rear tires with almost new tread. This is a Micky body and seems to be in good shape and very dry.
This unit includes the trailer at this price as well as free indoor storage until spring of next year with purchase. Just like last year there will be no in stock product forecasted from the manufactures we are just now getting boats that were promised to us in March of last year so purchase now to avoid being caught with your pants down next season without a boat.
In 1999 Jimmy Davis was awarded the coveted National Quality Dealer of the Year award. Every year one dealer out of the entire country is chosen to represent NIADA as the example of Outstanding Quality. Jimmy believes in a strong family bond. He is actively involved in his church, and has sponsored Little League Baseball in his community.
Mr. Davis communicated fully and clearly with me about a meeting time, he gave me his cell phone number, and a time to meet him, and was cordial and very helpful when we met. He has an absolutely INCREDIBLE inventory of large, heavy-duty and sport trucks, and a vast knowledge of them. It's a amazing place for truck enthusiasts!

So originally I gave them a poor review. I felt as though the description of the vehicle that they sold me online was inaccurate to say the least. After going back-and-forth with the salesman, the owner got involved, JW. And I have to say he’s a standup guy. Offered me my money back or offered to pay for some of the repairs. He certainly did not have to, this could’ve been a long drawn out battle but he made it right. No complaints here, I really appreciate you JW, more than know.

Recently purchased a truck(sight unseen) from them and had it shipped as I was out of state. JW stated multiple times the truck would pass CA smog, had no issues, and minor/ no rust. Truck arrives and it has major rust, engine light on(wont pass smog), and broken AC. All of our mechanics said they should have not sold us the vehicle in the condition it was. We would have returned if it if we hadn't paid for shipping. I would definitely get a vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic before purchasing from them. 4 stars for making some efforts to reimburse me for 2/3s of the cost of repairs.

Been purchasing vehicles for 25 years and this was by far the best buying experience I’ve ever had. This place is honest, efficient and thorough. JW was a pleasure to work with on buying my work van and I highly recommend purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. I cannot say enough about Davis Auto Sales.

Bought my truck here. I love it! The staff here are great and hassle free. Also the greatest thing was there are no hidden fees/ charges like other dealerships on the truck you want. If the sticker price says "X" then thats what you pay not a penny more for any tax etc... At least I didn't. Thanks Davis4x4. Below is my beautiful ride I purchased couldn't be happier!
