To our customers:

It has been my pleasure to serve our community

for the past 43 years. I have had the privilege

of meeting great people and making lifelong

friendships. While it is difficult to close this

chapter, I do look forward to “riding off into

the sunset.” With my retirement, some major

changes are coming to this dealership. More

important, however, is what will not change. The

same employees and their great service will be

here to continue the 70 year tradition of what

has been Quality Motor Co.

With appreciation,

Hamp Avant
