Dallas New and Used Car Dealer | Friendly Chevrolet
Being Family-Owned Makes the Difference
Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas, Texas is a family-owned new and used car dealership with a rich history and deep-rooted desire for outstanding customer service. These are often lost in cold corporate-owned dealerships.
1950's - New Beginnings in Dallas
It all began when Roy Eddins went to work for Chuck Hutton Dodge in Memphis, Tennessee. Roy quickly worked his way from the parts department to a management position and in 1958 was offered the chance to manage a failing Dodge dealership in Dallas.
Roy eagerly accepted the challenge and the Eddins family moved in June 1958. It took only two months for Roy to turn the dealership around with Eddins' high levels of customer service.
1960's - Growth with Hutton - Competing with Friendly
In 1960, Roy became part owner and relocated the dealership to the then "far north" part of Dallas at the corner of Lemmon and Inwood next to a brand new Chevrolet dealership, Friendly Chevrolet.
In 1965 Mark Eddins, Roy's 14 year old son, started working in the parts department just like his dad had. Over the next 5 years, Roy continued to find success at the Dodge dealership, now named Hutton-Eddins, and Mark continued to work during the summers in all of the departments.
1970's & 80's - Move to Chevrolet & Growth
In September 1970, the now-troubled Friendly Chevrolet was purchased by Roy with the help of Mr. Hutton, and once again the dealership was turned around with better customer service offered by Eddins.
In 1973, Mark came to work for Friendly full-time and worked his way through all of the positions and departments in the dealership until he became General Manager in 1979. Friendly Chevrolet began to thrive through the 70's and 80's under this new leadership.
1990's & 2000's - Move to I-35 and Inwood Road
After a 5-year plan, begun in 1993, a new location for Friendly Chevrolet was selected directly off I-35 (Stemmons Freeway) and Inwood Road. This new facility helps to ensure that Friendly Chevrolet is and will continue to be one of the largest and most dynamic Chevrolet dealerships in the United States.
Come see for yourself what makes Friendly Chevrolet a fixture in Dallas for all these years.
