Our Story
A Legacy Built in Jefferson City
It started with a handshake and a Chevrolet franchise. In 1936, Donald F. Riley purchased the Burnett Chevrolet Company and put down roots on Christy Drive — beginning what would become one of Mid-Missouri's most trusted names in automotive.
For 85 years, the Riley family served Jefferson City neighbors, growing the dealership through expansions, new brands, and a reputation built on honesty and hard work.
In 2021, Rusty Drewing — whose own family has been woven into Jefferson City's automotive community since the 1980s — acquired the store and wrote the next chapter. The name changed. The commitment didn't.
