A Quick Blackwell Autos History Lesson:

Tony Blackwell began his career in the automobile business as a mechanic at the local Buick dealership. After 14 years of working as a technician, he decided to open his own repair shop, and Blackwell Auto Repair opened its doors in 1940.

Tom Blackwell, Tony’s son, began working for his father's business in 1948. Both men were fine mechanics and selling cars was just an extension of the service they provided to their customers. Rambler, Hudson, Austin Healey, Massey Ferguson, Crosley, Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Jeep, Eagle, Lincoln, Mercury, Fiat, Toyota, and Kia are the many franchises that the Blackwell Family has had the pleasure of representing.

Today, Torrey Blackwell "3rd Generation Dealer" and his son Noah Blackwell "4th Generation Dealer" continue to run the business with the same honesty and integrity that was instilled by their fathers and grandfathers. Blackwell Automotive Inc. is the parent corporation that owns the two dealerships. Blackwell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat located at 4874 Riverside Dr. in Danville, VA and Blackwell Kia located at 4878 Riverside Dr. in Danville, VA.

The Blackwell’s are Christian businessmen and consumer advocates. They have spent their lives fighting the negative stigma that plagues car dealers around the world. They do this by fighting for the consumer as a car dealer that advises people and helps them get the quality vehicle they want and deserve in a positive and safe environment.
