Moving Lives Forward

Carter Myers Automotive is a family and employee-owned dealer group serving Virginia since 1924. Our mission is Moving Lives Forward for our associates, our customers, and our communities. We are committed to being more than a place to buy or service a car.

The people in our communities are what drive us every day. We partner with local non-profits to better the lives of our neighbors, and encourage CMA team members to donate time, treasure, and talent to help our communities thrive.
