LAUREL — Now Laurel residents can shop in their own town when looking for a ‘new’ used vehicle.
Sage Auto, located at 101 North Highway 20 in the Taylor’s Great Outdoors building, opened around the first of the year.
Sage Gray, a 1993 Laurel-Concord High School graduate, is the owner of the new dealership. He specializes in newer, late model vehicles, which mostly come from trade-ins and auctions. He will take orders for anything that is not on the lot.
Currently, Gray has one employee, a salesman, Scott Taylor, owner of Taylor’s Great Outdoors.
The advantage for customers to deal with Sage Auto versus bigger dealerships, is Gray can provide customers with better quality vehicles at more reasonable prices.
Sage, an electrician, decided to start this business to “be part of the Laurel business community and bring business into the community.”
Sage Auto is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
