On behalf of

The Toliver family has been serving customers and Dealers
for over 75 years in Texas. We are a family that believes in
service and a hands-on operation. Sam's grandfather, R.L.
Burton, started the business when he bought a gas station in
Haskell Texas in the 1930's; added a new car franchise to
the Location. Mr. Bruton was very involved in the community
and continued to run the dealership.
Mr.
Burton sold his dealership to his son-in-law Bailey Toliver
after graduating from Texas Tech University. Bailey
continued the growth of the dealership until his youngest
son Sam Toliver took over Bailey Toliver Chevrolet Cadillac
in 1989 after he graduated from Texas Tech University
himself. Sam grew Bailey Toliver Chevrolet Cadillac to be
one of the strongest Chevrolet Dealerships in Texas.
The Dealership achieved one of the highest CSI customer
ratings in the region and out preformed GM Sales quotas year
after year. Sam has served as a regional director of
T.A.D.A. along with being involved in the local community.
Sam
Toliver and his two brothers make up the Toliver Auto Group.
Joseph Toliver who operates a full line GM Franchise
Dealership, Toliver Brothers in Ballinger Texas and Brian
Toliver who operates Brain Toliver Ford Mercury Lincoln in
Sulfur Springs Texas.
In the
Fall of 2006 Sam Toliver acquired Big State Auto Auction
from Herb Pittman. Herb remained with Big State Auto
Auction though the end of 2007 as an advisor to help with
the transition of ownership of the Auction. Herb
Pittman now operates Pittman Motors in Abilene and invests
in real estate in the Abilene area.
Big State
Auto Auction is another division of the Toliver Auto group
serving dealers and customers in West Texas and the
surrounding area.
