The acquisition places founder Randy Hiley’s name above two Camp Bowie West showrooms and brings the family-owned company to seven locations in the Fort Worth area.
A dealership sign is supposed to tell drivers where they are. The two newest signs along Camp Bowie West Boulevard also tell a story about where one Fort Worth family began.
Moritz Chevrolet and Moritz Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram have joined Hiley Automotive Group and will take on new names: Randy Hiley Chevrolet and Randy Hiley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. For the Hileys, the change is less about introducing a new name than bringing a familiar one back home.
Long before the family business grew to include dealerships across two states, Randy Hiley was getting his start in Fort Worth’s automotive industry. That was in 1967. He later opened Randy Hiley Mazda Volkswagen in Arlington in 1990, laying the foundation for what would become a multigenerational company.
Now, nearly 60 years after that first Fort Worth job, his name will appear on two dealerships in the city where his career began.
“Chevrolet was the dream for me as a kid,” says Jason Hiley, Randy’s son and the company’s president and CEO. “My dad got his start in the truck business, and I always hoped we’d bring that part of our story back home to Fort Worth.
A different measure of growth
The acquisition brings Hiley Automotive Group to 16 dealerships representing 13 brands in Texas and Alabama. Seven of those stores are now in the Fort Worth area.
Those figures tell one version of the company’s growth. The more revealing version may be found in the way the Hileys talk about it.
As independent dealerships around the country increasingly give way to large corporate groups, Hiley Automotive Group remains family-owned. This is its second acquisition of another family dealership business in two years, following the 2025 purchase of what is now Hiley Chevrolet of Rockwall.
Taking over an established dealership means inheriting more than inventory and real estate. There are employees who know their customers by name, drivers who have relied on the same service department for years and community relationships built one transaction at a time. The challenge is to grow without losing that familiarity.
For Jason Hiley, protecting those relationships begins with employees. Give people the support to do their best work, he says, and customers can feel the difference.
“Families are paying close attention to what they spend on a vehicle,” Hiley says. “We want to earn their trust with five-star service by helping them with their vehicle needs, while giving our employees the support to do their best work in the most meaningful way.”
It is a simple idea, but not necessarily an easy one to preserve across 16 locations. The company’s standard remains much the same as it was in its early years: Take care of people, do your best and build trust one customer at a time.
A name with history behind it
The two Camp Bowie West dealerships give the company room to serve more Fort Worth drivers across several major American brands.
At Randy Hiley Chevrolet, customers will find models ranging from the Silverado and Colorado to the Tahoe, Suburban, Equinox, Traverse and Corvette. Randy Hiley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram offers vehicles including the Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango and Chrysler Pacifica.
Both dealerships also sell pre-owned vehicles, service all makes and models and have full-service body shops on-site.
Those practical details matter to customers. For the family, however, this moment carries an emotional dimension that cannot be measured in locations, brands or vehicles sold.
“It’s taken years of hard work to get here,” Jason Hiley says, “and putting my dad’s name on these stores makes this moment mean even more.”
The new signs reflect how far the business has traveled. They also point back to 1967, when Randy Hiley began a career in Fort Worth without knowing that, generations later, his family would return to place his name above the door.
Both dealerships are open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday.
