About Supreme Carriage

Welcome to Supreme Carriage.

I started Supreme Carriage in 2009 because, quite simply, I've always been fascinated by cars. What began as a passion for automobiles has grown into a business that I'm incredibly proud to have personally owned and operated for more than 15 years.

And yes, it's still just me.

There is no giant corporate headquarters, no team of 47 people in matching polo shirts, and no mysterious "pre-owned vehicle acquisition department" making decisions from three states away. I personally select every vehicle we purchase and take great pride in choosing cars that I believe are truly worth owning.

I pay close attention to the details. I carefully evaluate each vehicle's cosmetic and mechanical condition, review its history, have it mechanically inspected, and personally drive it before offering it for sale. I want to know what I'm selling—and I want to be comfortable putting my name behind it.

My philosophy has always been simple:

I would rather sell the nicest car than the cheapest car.

We intentionally maintain a carefully selected inventory rather than filling our lot with cars simply to have more cars. I don't believe in buying something because it's cheap and then crossing my fingers that nobody notices. My goal is to find vehicles that are exceptional examples of what they are, and to offer cars that I would be proud to own myself.

Buying a Car Doesn't Have to Be Painful

Let's be honest: buying a car isn't always the most enjoyable experience in the world. There's paperwork. There are decisions to make. There are numbers to discuss. And, occasionally, someone will use the phrase "let me talk to my manager," even when the manager is standing three feet away.

I've always believed there is a better way.

Because Supreme Carriage is a small, boutique dealership, I can offer a much more personal and straightforward experience than you might expect from a traditional dealership. When you work with us, you're dealing directly with the owner—the person who selected the vehicle, evaluated it, drove it, and knows why it is here in the first place.

There is no pressure to sell you something you don't want, no enormous inventory to navigate, and no need to spend your Saturday afternoon wondering if you're somehow negotiating against yourself.

Our goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and—dare I say it—even enjoyable.

The Best Compliment Is When You Come Back

One of the things I'm most proud of is the very high percentage of our business that comes from repeat customers and referrals. People who purchased a vehicle from us years ago come back when it's time for their next one, and many send their friends and family our way.

To me, that's the ultimate compliment.

A dealership can tell you that it provides great service. We believe it's much more meaningful when our customers demonstrate it by coming back.

I understand that purchasing a vehicle is a significant decision, and I don't take the trust that comes with it lightly. My goal is to provide quality vehicles, honest information, and a level of personal attention that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Used cars are, after all, still used cars. They have histories, personalities, and occasionally a few quirks. My job is to understand those things, evaluate each vehicle carefully, and give you the information you need to make a confident and informed decision.

At the end of the day, Supreme Carriage is built around a pretty simple idea:

Find great cars. Know them well. Be honest about them. Treat people fairly.

That's how I would want to be treated when buying a car—and it's how I've run Supreme Carriage since 2009.

Thank you for considering us. I hope you enjoy looking through our inventory as much as I enjoy finding it.
