After arriving in Thomasville from Early County in 1931 at the age of 19, Ernest Spence Chevrolet GMC went to work with an uncle in the oil business. A few years later, Spence Chevrolet GMC began operating a small service station on Smith Avenue, near the Georgia Create & Basket Company. Spence Chevrolet GMC was always looking to improve and grow; he also enjoyed building and decided the automobile would be his building tool.

Spence Chevrolet GMC began perfecting his art of buying broken down Model A's, repairing them, and offering them for sale on easy terms. "I became proficient in repair, and some required extensive repairs," said Spence Chevrolet GMC.

During World War Two, Spence Chevrolet GMC sold out of the automobile business and went into the U.S. Army. Spence Chevrolet GMC came home in 1946 and was on hand as a salesman to serve his old friends at the dealership. He later repurchased the dealership in 1954 and began building an organization devoted to service.

After many years located off of U.S. 19 South, Spence Chevrolet GMC and Roy Campbell Chevrolet consolidated, effective April 28, 2011, to become Spence Chevrolet GMC, now located at 11646 U.S. 319 North. Al Park, president and chairman of the board of the new company, was also president of the former Spence Chevrolet GMC dealership. James Sumner, general manager at the former Spence Chevrolet GMC dealership, is general manager, a vice president, and a stockholder in the new company. Other vice presidents and stockholders are Rocky Spence and Peter Wolsfelt, both Spence Chevrolet GMC employees.

"The 19,000-square-foot former Roy Campbell housing is on a 6.6-acre tract," said Park. "This has provided more room for inventory to be available at the new location."

"We want our sales and service departments to exceed our customers' expectations," said Park. "Our game plan is simple - we make selecting and buying a car or truck easy by combining individualized service, quality products, and a variety of financing options." This method of business has been very successful since Spence Chevrolet GMC is still consistently a leader in GM Customer satisfaction surveys.
