Sales and Leasing Consultant

I’ve been around cars my whole life, starting in the business back in 1969. Over the years, I’ve done a little bit of everything from old car restorations to hot rod building and I’ve even been lucky enough to have my work written up in a few magazines. What I enjoy most, though, is meeting people and helping them find exactly what they’re looking for. I had a very successful used car lot and auto repair business for over 30 years in the same location. Even though I’ve “retired” a couple of times, I just can’t stay away from the car business. I am a strong believer in good customer service and I always do my best to make sure folks get the best deal possible whether it be a lease or a purchase. At the end of the day, it’s not just about cars, it’s about people, and that’s what keeps me going.

What an absolutely excellent experience we had with Richie Cheatham, our sales representative at Volkswagen of Huntington.

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. Richie answered all of our questions, listened to exactly what we wanted, and made everything easy and stress-free. He never pressured us in any way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We visited several other dealerships where the salespeople were pushy and unprofessional, so working with Richie was a refreshing change. We have never had such a positive car-buying experience with any other dealer. I highly recommend Richie to anyone looking for a smooth, pleasant, and enjoyable car-buying experience. More
