...39 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
The founder H.B. Midgette Jr. was interested in cars from his earliest days; it was in 1968 that he became a licensed dealer. We have many customers today who still remember that first car they bought from us.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, Midgette Auto was known for the classic and antique cars featured for sale on the lot. Jody Midgette, President and dealer principal today, worked in the facility as a teenager after school and on weekends.
In 1986, the business incorporated and expanded, setting up service and detail departments.
In 1987, the first showroom and offices were constructed and a sales staff was hired.
In 1989, we acquired a 'U-Save Auto Rental' franchise. From modest beginnings, we now have the largest fleet in the area. In 2004 we became an independent Rental company.
Our new 2-story 4500 square foot building was completed January 2000 with all new furnishings and equipment and a state of the art computer network. That same month, we set up a new business 'Auto Credit USA' a buy-here, pay- here store located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, 45 miles from Harbinger, North Carolina.
We currently have a full time staff of 14, working in both locations.
