Meet the Staff of Auto Class Direct

Chip Winn - The Patriarch/Owner

-

With over 40 years of automotive experience ranging anywhere from make-ready to selling aftermarket accessories to directing full-size franchise dealerships, Chip is truly well versed in the car business. His experience and expertise is the back bone on which we built this company. He loves working with his family, especially when the grand kids get brought to work. 

Chad Winn - The Son/Co-Owner/General Manager

-

Chad has had a life-long passion for automobiles, starting before he could even drive. He began buying and selling cars at the age of 16, with his own personal car, and he's never looked back. He was able to use his acquired knowledge of the car business to help open Auto Class Direct in May 2010 with his father, Chip. He's an expert buyer for our company and standing at 6'4'' he's a hard guy to miss. 

Rome Colburn - The Mom/Finance/HR/IT/OPS

-

The woman that keeps us all in line! With years of finance and human resources experience for several major corporations, she truly has an exact art form when it comes to consummating deals. Compliance is key, and she makes sure we are up to date for the protection of our dealership, and most importantly, our customers. She loves working with her kids and the best ex-husband in the world! 

Alex Montes - The Daughter/Service/Marketing

-

Alex is an art major turned project manager with direct experience in running her dad's companies. She is energetic, creative, and takes initiative where needed. Her experience in the auto industry includes creative marketing, social media, inventory control, quality assurance, and service management. Most days you can catch a glimpse of her full-sleeve tattoo (which her Dad hates) while she's running around the lot checking on vehicles or snapping pictures. 

Tracy Fernau - The House Mom/Finance

-

Tracy brings extensive knowledge of the auto financing industry backed by years of experience. She has built positive and trusting relationships with multiple lenders and banks to allow us to work with all credit levels. She also spoils our team with homemade and baked goodies on a very regular basis. 

Bryan Cantrell - Family Friend/Finance

-

With Bryan on the team, it is hard not to help most people that come in to buy a vehicle. His lender experience and intention to do things right and within reason helps everyone. He's always got a story to share or a joke to tell. 

Ryan Tucker - Sales

972-509-0600 - rtucker@autoclassdirect.com

Ryan, the OG, has been with us almost 4 years and brings a ton of customer service knowledge with him. He is always around to help customers and his fellow peers. Ryan is married with 2 sons, 2 dogs and 1 cat. He's the first face you see when you visit Auto Class Direct. Come by and say hi to "Tucker".

Cindy - The ACD Mascot/Official Greeter

-

Sadly Cindy passed away Jan. 2022 at the young age of 16. Cindy was adopted in January 2018 and belonged here immediately. She thought she had a job and was so excited to come to work everyday and greet our staff and customers. She will be missed.
