A Legacy Built on Trust

In 1937, Mr. Bob Sandlin gave up a Sales Manager position in Henderson, Texas to purchase interest in Irvin Chevrolet Co. located in Mount Pleasant, TX. The company then became Irvin-Sandlin Motors Co. The company prospered after World War II, and in 1946 the company built new facilities at the present location of Highway 271 and 67. In 1948, Mr. Sandlin purchased the remaining interest and the name was changed to Bob Sandlin Motors.

In 1957, Bob Sandlin’s son, Joe W. Sandlin, joined his father in the car business. Joe Sandlin quickly built a loyal customer base with superior customer service skills. The company thrived with Joe Sandlin leading the dealership, and in 1970, the company incorporated and began doing business as Sandlin Motors, Inc. with Joe W. Sandlin as President and General Manager and Bob Sandlin as Vice President. During the 1980’s, the company saw Bob Sandlin retire only to be replaced by the 3rd generation, Joe W. Sandlin, Jr., as Vice President of Sandlin Motors. Joe Sandlin, Jr. had the benefit of being trained by both Bob and Joe Sandlin. Both elders instilled the trademarks for which Sandlin Motors is known – honesty, integrity, and respect. Unchanged is the Sandlin Motors commitment to conducting business with honesty, integrity, and respect.

Following his grandfather’s and father’s example, Joe Sandlin, Jr. lead the business, continuing to be the premier Chevrolet dealership in the area. Joe Jr. is excited to be passing along the Sandlin legacy of commitment to service to the 4th generation, Luke Sandlin Anderson. Luke joined the business in 2005, and was named General Manager in 2007.

We are pleased to announce that in January 2024, Luke Anderson, who has faithfully served as General Manager, will continue in that role while also becoming the owner and Dealer Principal through the recent purchase of the dealership. His steadfast leadership and dedication to our family-owned business will continue to guide us into the future.
