So just how did Ken Garff get his start?
An explosion at a Shell Service Station on the corner of 500
South and State Street
nearly cost Ken Garff his life, yet it catapulted him into the car business.
Ken was an attendant at the station and had walked out the doorway to help a
customer at the pump when the building exploded behind him. Shell began
reconstructing the building, but Ken was left with little to do. Thus, he began
to sell used cars to keep himself occupied. When Shell completed their building
they gave Ken an ultimatum, "If you want to keep working for us, you need
to stop selling cars." Too late. Ken had discovered the car business and
was not turning around.
Ken Garff founded his business in 1932 upon the principles
of honesty and integrity, personalized customer service and being a good
corporate citizen. These ideals fueled Ken's success as he earned new car
franchises such as Oldsmobile and Studebaker.
Today, these same ideals are at the very cornerstone of this
third generation business and the reason why consumers rate the Ken Garff
Automotive Group as the Most Preferred Dealer in the State of Utah according to a January 2004, Dan Jones
survey. The Ken Garff Automotive Group is now associated with 39 new car
franchises, three used car stores and five collision repair centers located at
45 locations throughout Utah, from Ogden to St. George. The Ken Garff
Automotive Group also has business interests in insurance, warranties and
ecommerce companies.
As mentioned, the Ken Garff Automotive Group believes in
giving back to the community. Since Ken founded his business in 1932, the
company has given millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours to schools,
charities and community organizations.
