John Taylor has been in the automotive industry for over two decades and has run his first dealership, Dumfries Auto Mart, since he opened in 1989. His wife, Roxanne, has been by his side for seven of those years, first as a Title Clerk and helping with moving cars around. With time, Roxanne gained a lot of knowledge about the industry and soon began helping the customers and meeting many nice people.
John Taylor got his start in the automotive industry by helping other dealers move cars around as they were purchased. He was quickly able to get a grasp on the workings of being a car dealer and in 1989 he opened his first dealership. While focusing primarily on wholesale (dealer to dealer transactions) he still managed to assist with the automotive needs of many of those living in the Dumfries, Triangle, Woodbridge area.

Today, John serves as Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association's (VIADA) district 6 Vice President. VIADA is an association of used car dealers with the purpose of enhancing the image of the industry overall. Members of VIADA adhere to a strict Code of Ethics in their daily business operations thereby setting themselves above other no-member dealers. Of course Mr. Taylor would want you to do business with him solely but if you find yourself at another dealership he would encourage everyone to look for the Symbol of Quality which VIADA's logo (can be seen on the Home Page) that should be in the window of every member in order to ensure you will be dealt with fairly and honestly. John is also currently serving as State Director on the VIADA Board of Directors.
One of the most valuable members of the staff at Regional Auto Sales has to be Roxanne Taylor, John's wife. Roxanne has lived in Amherst, Virginia all her life. She graduated from Sweet Briar College with a degree in Economics and Computer Science. She is vital in the daily operations at the dealership. Roxanne spends most of her time managing the office, doing the bookkeeping, handling all the title work, and helping out with overflow sales. She is usually the first person you see when you come in and she always has a smile on her face!
Roxanne says that while she and her family make a respectable living, the most rewarding thing about running her own business is the people she meets. Many customers continue to stay in contact with Mr. and Mrs. Taylor well after the sale. Many more tell their friends and family about Regional Auto Sales and because of this referrals are their best source of new customers!
