Evans Auto Sales

Our Story

Like a lot of small companies there is a great story behind how it was founded. Evans Auto Sales is no exception...

Around the summer of 2011 Tim Evans began buying vehicles that were totaled by insurance companies at public auctions, taking them home, and fixing them in his spare time, then selling the vehicles for some extra cash. Tim bought, and repaired these types of vehicles for approximately a year before realizing he had found his calling, to own his own business selling cars. Tim realized that for him to be a licensed car dealer, this was going to take massive amounts of capital, contacts, and hard work. Tim spent the next 6 months saving money, working hard and learning what was required to become a licensed dealer in South Carolina.

In January of 2013, Tim completes all of the requirements to become a licensed car dealer and opens for business. Tim will tell you, the decision to open his own car dealership was the costliest thing he has ever done, and the most stressful. Tim spent months working 70 hour weeks, and making mistakes that cost him thousands. As Tim began to learn a little about the business, he began implementing systems, policies, and procedures to make the way he conducted business more efficient, and standardized.

As 2013 began to come to an end, Tim reviewed the way he had conducted business all year long and made yet more changes to grow the business. He noticed several things, a couple of which were that he was losing a large portion of business because of the limitations of his location, and to customers looking to finance on the lot, so he began searching through lots of lenders, before he started partnering with auto lenders with good reviews, who were fair to both Evans Auto Sales, and his customers.

Today Evans Auto Sales has come a long way from where it first started just 7 years ago in a 96 square foot shed that was finished into an office, with no facilities for Tim, nor his customers. Today Tim operates out of an 3000 square foot location with a detail, and a mechanic shop. Tim still works at least 60 hour weeks, and has 2 employees. Tim is proud of what he has built and still has a long way to go he says. So if you are in the market for a dependable used vehicle, regardless of your price range, or your financial situation go see what Tim Evans, over at Evans Auto Sales in York, SC can do for you!
