Our Story

Where It All Began

In 1950, Wes Baker founded Highway Motors, selling and servicing Studebaker and Willys Jeep vehicles. He also helped local families find financing and manageable payment plans.

When Studebaker closed in 1967, the dealership closed too, bringing the original Highway Motors chapter to an end.

In 2018, Randy Wright (grandson of Wes Baker) revived the Highway Motors name in London, carrying its tradition of honest service and helping families into a new era.

"Randy was extremely helpful and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. I needed a vehicle quickly, and he got the safety done in the timeframe it was needed. The car is in immaculate condition, and their pricing is decent as well. Overall I'm very happy with my car and how easy Randy made the process. If you're looking for a used vehicle and a reputable place to buy one, definitely check Highway Motors out!"

"The salesman Rick was very precise. He was honest and told me everything about the car. The owner was very fair to deal with. Randy was just as nice and so was Juliette in administration. I would recommend this dealership to anyone wanting to buy a good used car."

- Richard D.

"Not the largest dealership… but it makes up for that in friendly service with fair pricing. The after sales accommodation gives a personal touch often missed at larger dealers. Well worth the visit!"

- Michael C.

"Randy had really good communication and answered all questions clearly and honestly. He clearly showed an itemized list of all the car repairs and services for the 2007 Toyota I bought. He made sure we went over everything and that I understood the purchase agreement and that I could reach out anytime after purchase if I had more questions. He set up an appointment with me on a Sunday to accommodate my schedule. Very honest and professional service overall."
