Davis-Moore Auto Group

What Davis-Moore Auto Group does

Davis-Moore Auto Group is a privately-held, multi-franchise automotive dealership group headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, founded in 1955. The company operates a portfolio of franchised rooftops carrying Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, Mazda, Alfa Romeo, Lincoln, and FIAT at its Wichita flagship on East Kellogg Drive, and additionally operates the Clint Bowyer Autoplex in Emporia, Kansas, representing Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Toyota. The group sells new vehicles, certified pre-owned and used vehicles (with 816 units listed on the site at time of scrape), and offers vehicle financing, extended warranties, gap insurance, factory-certified service, OEM parts, and collision repair through a dedicated subsidiary (Davis-Moore Collision Center). A complementary Davis-Moore 360 coverage program is bundled with purchases, and online tools include a payment calculator, trade-in valuation, and finance application that route customers into in-person dealership close.

The business model combines one-time vehicle gross profit, F&I transaction fees from financing and protection-product partners, recurring service and parts revenue from OEM-certified technicians, and collision-repair revenue. Distribution is anchored in physical dealership rooftops in Wichita and Emporia serving the Wichita, Derby, Andover, and surrounding Kansas communities, supported by an own-storefront e-commerce site, phone sales, blog/SEO content, community events, and referral marketing. Customer segments are horizontal: individual consumers form the primary persona, with a secondary commercial/business customer segment for fleet vehicles, work trucks, and cargo vans via a dedicated commercial vehicles channel. Ownership is closely-held (no disclosed VC, PE, or institutional investors); management-team roster is not publicly listed. The group self-identifies as one of Kansas' largest auto groups and won a 2025 "Wichita's Best Winner" community recognition. No AI, proprietary technology, patents, API offerings, or app products are disclosed; operations are positioned as traditional dealership retail.
