    General Manager
    Dan Danley

    Grab one of our homemade cookies, a cup of coffee and come visit with our fearless leader Dan Danley.

    Whether he's telling you a story from his 25 years in the car business or his days of growing up on a fishing boat, you're sure to be entertained. Dan loves people and it's obvious when you meet him. He's very proud of his "team of employees", his loyal customers and his community.

    Dan and his wife Kimberly believe in giving back to a community that has been so good to them and their business. Dan leads his business the same way he leads his personal life by the "Golden Rule". You will hear that phrase mentioned a lot around the dealership.

    "It's simple really...just do the right thing, the fair thing each and every time, and the business will follow" says Dan.

  • Steve Akin

    Steve Akin

    "Shakin Akin" has over 30 years of Sales Management Experience in the car business.

    He was with Ford dealerships for years and frankly didn't know if he could make the switch over to Dodge. "It was much easier than I thought it would be",says Steve. I love the Dodge truck and am very proud of our line-up of new products.

    Steve drives over an hour each way to come to Lone Star Autoplex, his home away from home. His commitment to Lone Star is evident each and every day as he makes his long trek to work...just ask Lisa, his wife of 30 years.

    Steve is dedicated to providing his customers with excellent service before and after the sale.

    Mark Schwab

    How do you describe someone like Mark in just a paragraph?  He gives the word "attitude" a whole new meaning!

    Mark was paralyzed in a automobile accident but he has not let his misfortune slow him down.  In fact, it has made him that much stronger in his will and dedication to everything he does. Mark strives to never give up and to be the best that he can be.

    His dedication to his job means driving 1 1/2 hours to work each way and answering his phone 7 days a week.

    Mark has been married to his beautiful wife Lynn for 5 years.  He has 2 daughters, 15 year old Kaitlyn and 7 year old Brooke    .

    Felton Emory

    Whether you're making a deposit at the local bank or dropping off your dry cleaning you're likely to see a Lone Star Autoplex candy dish full of candy sitting on the counter.

    This is courtesy of Mr. Candy Man himself Felton Emory.  Local businesses look forward to seeing Felton's smiling face every month as he comes out and re-fills their candy dish.

    Felton loves going out and meeting new people...spreading the word about Lone Star Autoplex's commitment to Customer Service.

    If you come into the dealership early in the morning for service you're likely to see Felton making homemade cookies and passing them out to our customers.  Or, in the afternoon you'll smell his delicious popcorn popping.

    Based on Felton's last report at the dentist it looks like he's been hitting the stash!
