Our Story

Five Generations in Chireno

Shane Gray is the fifth generation of the Gray family to run a trading business in Chireno, Texas. What that means day to day is simple: you deal with the owner, you get a straight answer, and a handshake still means something.

Don Gray and the car business

Shane's father, Don Gray, has been in the car business locally for more than forty years. That's four decades of learning what Deep East Texas families actually need out of a vehicle and a payment.
