GET--How We Came to Be

Kori’s Corner is making a comeback! If you missed our old Kori’s Corner you are probably wondering who I am. Let me tell you a little bit of how I crossed paths with Glenn E. Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep.
I first crossed paths with the Davis family back in college when I noticed a cute guy in my computer class wearing an L.A. Lakers sweatshirt. His named turned out to be Brad Davis and I married him a few years later. Brad is now the Sales Manager for Glenn E. Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep. My first introduction to the whole Davis family came during Spring Break when Brad brought me home to meet his family. I was instantly impressed with their integrity, family values and love of life. I soon learned they were car dealers and had a deep passion for HEMI engines and sports. They are a very tight knit group and are always fun to be around.

The Davis Family and Glenn E. Thomas Company first crossed paths back in 1944 when Monte Davis, a young Navy fighter pilot at the time, was working as a duck hunting guide while on leave. Monte served as Mr. Glenn Thomas’ guide and a strong bond formed between them. In 1945 when the war ended, Monte began working in the parts department at Glenn E. Thomas Dodge. He worked his way up to General Manager of the dealership and eventually became the sole owner of the company in 1968. Monte’s son, Bob, joined him in the car business in 1973. Today, Monte’s grandson’s, John, and my husband, Brad, are doing business the way Grandpa taught them.

My brother-in-law, John Davis, is the General Manager of GET. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. He is also a family man—the father of 4 fun, loving kids.
My husband Brad can be characterized as extremely charismatic, a recent cancer survivor, and father to our 2 sons -- one of which is named after his great-grandfather Monte.
My sister-in-law, Lori, and I are working on the new way of doing business, via the internet. Grandpa Monte would be proud of his legacy. With 10 Davis great-grandchildren, nine of which are boys, he would be happy to see he has a whole basketball team. The Davis tradition holds true, doing business on the principles Grandpa taught them of treating our customers like family.

With HEMI engines and family values running through our veins, you can see we are heavily invested in making sure you have a great experience each and every time you visit GET Dodge Chrysler Jeep. We pride ourselves on making you part of our family. Please allow me to be a liaison for you. As you can see from my intro, I have some pull with the man in the corner office, so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you for being part of our family.
