The Hiley Family of dealerships is a locally owned family business that has sold more than 100,000 vehicles. Randy Hiley moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 1967 to work for his uncle, Dub Shaw, a Fort Worth Ford Dealer. He worked there for several years and then went to work for local competition Charlie Hillard, where he worked for fourteen years, later becoming vice-president over seven franchises.
Randy realized a life long dream and opened Hiley Mazda and Hiley Volkswagen in Arlington, Texas after his long career with the Hillard organization. It was a very successful venture. General Motors approved Randy Hiley in 1992 to be one of the first Saturn retailers in the country. They interviewed all of Hiley’s employees, from the top to the bottom, and the Hiley employees had the highest rate of employee satisfaction that they had ever seen.
Hiley was awarded the two franchises in Dallas and they both opened in 1994. Shortly after the two new dealerships opened, Randy Hiley became the chairman of Mazda’s National Dealer Council and became a director of Saturn’s franchise operations team.
Randy Hiley’s two sons, Jason and Matt went on to buy and sell more dealerships and now serve as the president and vice president of the company. The Hiley dealerships are still family owned and operated after nearly two decades and are one of the last privately owned dealership groups in Dallas-Fort Worth.
In 2009, continuing the family’s passion for the business, the Hiley Family decided to expand, and purchased the Mazda, Volkswagen, and Audi franchises in Huntsville, Alabama. Hiley Automotive is recognized as one of the top volume dealers in this region and has one of the highest rates of customer satisfaction in the country!
