About The Company
Carter Myers Automotive (CMA) is a family and employee-owned business serving Central Virginia since 1924. We have dealerships across Virginia as well as West Virginia, North Carolina and soon in Maryland, representing 18 new car brands with more than 3000 new and used vehicles in stock. Our technicians are ASE Certified Virginia State Inspectors and our wholesale parts network extends throughout the region. We move lives forward for our associates, customers and communities. We are always hiring! Our company is unique, in that associates earn ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Started in 1979, our ESOP has grown through the belief that shared ownership means shared success. Everyone you encounter at CMA has a vested interest in the company, at no cost to them. Our brand promise is "Owners Just Do More!"​ CMA started as Stockdell-Myers Hardware in Petersburg, Virginia. We specialized in machine parts and built cars from kits to sell through the store. In 1924, once the assembly line had changed the industry, we reincorporated as Petersburg Motor Company. Our first President was H. Carter Myers. He, his sister and his son kept the business going through the Great Depression and World War II. Our founder's grandson, H. Carter Myers III, joined the company in 1968 and we continued to grow. Today, the 4th generation of the Myers family is our President and CEO. The first woman to lead CMA, Liza Myers Borches has followed in her father's, grandfather's, and great grandfather's footsteps. After more than 100 years in the industry, our core values remain the same: Honesty, Integrity, Customer Service, and Community Involvement. Learn more at www.CMAcars.com.
