Meet the Staff of Hilltop Auto Mart, Columbia , KY, 270-384-1562

David Thomas - Dealer

Owner and operator of Hilltop Auto Mart which has been under the same management for over 25 years! David has been a local resident of Columbia, Ky his whole life. He has 2 children a daughter Krissy and their youngest son Noah who both drive rebuilt vehicles. It all began over 25 years ago when the family needed to upgrade their vehicle but didn't want to pay retail from the big car lots. It just didn't make since to drive off a lot and the car instantly drop several thousands less. So David started repairing a low mileage light hit Grand Prix for the family. It turned out to be a great car for a lot less money than expected. From there the light bulb went off and the move to becoming a dealer took flight! The start of repairing low mileage, light hit, late model vehicles bought from insurance companies. 20 plus years later Hilltop has sold cars all over the US and other countries!! That have given customers safe and trouble free service for many years! Every car on the lot has had a 21 point inspection and a wheel alignment by a ASE certified mechanic. David's goal is to make sure the customer has a safe vehicle with no troubles for several years for less money than bought retail. Taking pride in being there when the customer is ready to upgrade again. Starting on the Hill as a repair shop and now a dealer has been a life changing experience for David. It has been a wonderful experience helping people get the cars they want and deserve for a lot less money and the best is yet to come!
