Steve and Ed are two cousins bonded with a passion for cars. In 1985, at the age of only 19, they opened a one bay service garage in Weymouth, MA at 1373 Washington Street. They simply named it S&E Auto. With very little capital, a few hand tools and a strong work ethic their journey began. Word quickly spread around town of their fair and honest way of doing business and the company began to take off. Realizing they had a chance to do something special, the two of them decided to expand their service operation to three bays and began to buy, fix and sell a few lower end vehicles to add some additional income. As business began to pick up, they soon found themselves doing more selling than repair.
In 1993 they secured their first bank loan and began buying newer, low-mile vehicles. They would recondition them to like new conditions and sell them at great prices. The inventory quickly grew from only five cars to more than fifty; Ed says they were the first independent dealer in the area to deal with such high-quality cars. Business was so good that they moved down the street to 1255 Washington in Weymouth and hired fifteen employees.
In 2014 the Weymouth location underwent another expansion; making way for a new state of the art sales and service facility. Now on almost 3 acres, S&E Auto stocks over two hundred pre-owned vehicles and has become a household name as one of the most reputable dealers in the country.
Among the vast number of accolades and awards they have received along the way, Steve says "Winning DealerRaters "Dealer of the Year" 6 years in a row is what I am most proud of. It is a vindication that people truly appreciate the way we do business here."
