1950s - NEW BEGINNINGS IN DALLAS

It all began when Roy Eddins went to work for Chuck Hutton Dodge in Memphis, Tennessee. Roy quickly worked his way from the parts department to a management position and in 1956 was offered the chance to manage a failing Dodge dealership in Dallas. Roy eagerly accepted the challenge and the Eddins family moved in June 1956. It took only two months for Roy to turn the dealership around with Eddins' high levels of customer service.

1960s - GROWTH WITH HUTTON & FRIENDLY COMPETITION

In 1960, Roy became part owner and relocated the dealership to the then "far north" part of Dallas at the corner of Lemmon and Inwood next to a brand new Chevrolet dealership, Friendly Chevrolet. In 1965, Mark Eddins, Roy's 14 year old son, started working in the parts department just like his dad had. Over the next 5 years, Roy continued to find success at the Dodge dealership, now named Hutton-Eddins, and Mark continued to work during the summers in all of the departments.

1970s & 1980s - PROGRESSION WITH CHEVROLET

In September 1970, the now-troubled Friendly Chevrolet was purchased by Roy with the help of Mr. Hutton, and once again the dealership was turned around with better customer service offered by Eddins. In 1973, Mark came to work for Friendly full-time and worked his way through all of the positions and departments in the dealership until he became General Manager in 1979. Friendly Chevrolet began to thrive through the 70's and 80's under this new leadership.

1990s & 2000s - RELOCATE & EXPAND ON I-35 AND INWOOD ROAD

After a 5-year plan, begun in 1993, a new location for Friendly Chevrolet was selected directly off I-35 (Stemmons Freeway) and Inwood Road. This new 14-acre facility helps to ensure that Friendly Chevrolet is and will continue to be one of the largest and most dynamic Chevrolet dealerships in the United States.

2010s to Present Day - A NEW LOOK TO USHER IN SIX DECADES IN DALLAS

This decade has brought about many new changes. Friendly Chevrolet was completely renovated in 2013. In order to enhance the overall customer experience, all new state-of-the-art technology was installed in the dealership, updating waiting areas, service bays, and the Corvette Café. Friendly also took its traditions of outstanding customer service and competitive pricing and introduced exceptional value in the form of the Concierge Plus+ program. 2016 marked Friendly's 60th anniversary and it was celebrated all year long with unbelievable savings for our customers. We are deeply honored to have served Dallas for these last 60 years, and will strive every day to make your experience a Friendly one. Bring your family in to meet our family, and see for yourself why Friendly Chevrolet is, and has been, the #1 Volume Chevy Dealer in Dallas.
