Autotainment (au-to-tain-ment)
The Reeds and their partners transformed the automotive experience with their concept of "autotainment." This has been their evolution of the automotive purchasing process from goods and services into a distinctive experience-centered environment, revolutionizing the sales and service process for the new millennium.
Along with famed designer F. Michael Graves, Mr. Reed embarked upon creating one of the most unique automotive sales and service experience-themed dealerships, eliminating the negative connotation of "it's us against them" when purchasing or servicing a vehicle. Many processes and environmental zones were eliminated or enhanced to substantially improve the overall experience many customers said they didn't like, such as too little parking to: things they wanted including play areas for kids and restaurant-quality refreshments. The group hired the top specialists in the world to design and build their very distinct and successful autotainment mall dealerships.
Giving Back to the Community
The Reeds believe it is crucial to give back to the communities in which they work and live. In addition to the World Class Automotive operation charitable endowment, which has made many considerable donations to multiple organizations; each of Reed's businesses also works with local and national charities.
Growing up in an economically challenged home, Mr. Reed, along with his wife, knows how important it is for businesses to extend opportunities to area families and youths in order to preserve and strengthen local communities.
Each company sponsors and participates in local events, and various school fundraisers, supports a variety of programs for children and families, and much more. "When we all give a little, we can help a lot for both the future of our kids and our community," said Mr. Reed.
Keys to Success
Mr. Reed has a simple equation for success: hard work, honesty, and treating people fairly. The family-owned business instills solid philosophies, beliefs, and morals throughout all facets of its operations.
Working at the young age of 12, a foundation for his strong work ethic and appreciation for every hard-earned dollar was instilled. Once in the automotive business, he had to work his way up the ranks, from service technician and salesman all the way through managing partner and subsequently an automotive dealer.
"The diversity of my experiences has allowed me to have a real understanding of every facet of a business and how to create a better customer experience," said Mr. Reed. "At the end of the day, that is what is about how well we help our customers."
Gratitude
Ultimately, he attributes that success to all of the loyal consumers. "There are thousands of customers to whom Sherry and I owe everything in business," he said. "God has blessed us. We've been married and successful in business for well over 30 years, have three wonderful children, and get to work with amazing people every day. I am very thankful."
