And with over 30-years of automotive experience, Randall Reed, with his wife Sherry, own one of the largest, privately-held dealer groups in the country with dealership locations in greater Houston, Dallas and Huntsville, Texas. Randall sold out of Prestige in 1997 after the death of his majority partner, Bill Beck. In 2007 Mr. Beck’s widow called Randall and asked him to buy back Prestige. Randall and his wife were more than happy to do it! Randall believes that it’s not the deficiency of knowledge that disables ordinary people from accomplishing extraordinary goals; it’s the deficiency of execution! His equation to success is: Work hard + honesty + treating people fairly = SUCCESS. Current franchises include Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Dodge and Hyundai. The Randall Reed dealerships have a long history of sponsoring numerous local events and special programs that benefit disadvantaged families and children.
