Our Story
Built Over Decades, Guided by Purpose
Here’s a glimpse into our journey. We’ve faced challenges and celebrated milestones that shaped who we are today. From our beginnings to current achievements, each step has been a vital part of our growth.
The Beginning
Matthews Motors began in 1991, founded as Fleetcare with one truck, one technician, and a mission rooted in service. From day one, our focus was mobile preventative maintenance—providing on-site repairs that kept commercial fleets on the road and earning trust one customer at a time.
Full Service
By 1993, we had outgrown the mobile-only model and opened our first full-service facility. This expansion enabled us to provide comprehensive mechanical repair services including diagnostics, hydraulics, brakes, and engine work.
Authorized Dealers
In 1996, we became an authorized Isuzu and GM Medium-Duty dealer, allowing us to offer both commercial vehicle sales and expert service—meeting customer needs under one roof.
Hino Joins Us
In 2007, we added Hino Trucks to our dealer lineup, strengthening our capabilities in the medium-duty segment and positioning ourselves to support a broader range of fleets.
Matthews Motors Rebrand
A defining moment came in 2018, when we rebranded as Matthews Motors and moved from a 10-bay shop to a modern 40-bay facility. This shift reflected not just physical growth, but our evolution into a full-scale partner for fleet operations.
Expanded Services
Between 2019 and 2020, we expanded into trailer repair, grew our mobile service fleet, and added experienced technicians and admin support to meet increasing demand.
Custom Trucks and Upfitting
In 2021, we began offering ready-to-work light-duty vehicles, and launched custom upfitting services including liftgates, utility bodies, shelving systems, and vocational modifications tailored to industry needs.
Expansion
- Acquired adjacent land to build a 150+ unit trailer drop yard
- Acquired Padgett Bodies, enhancing our Upfit Services
- Acquired Venture Auto Sales to offer pre-owned light-duty trucks, vans and SUV’s
- Became the official Dennis Eagle dealer for Georgia
- Added Cummins to our supported OEM list
- Recognized as the #1 Stellar Dealer in the Southeast
Launched New ERP System
In 2023, we customized an ERP system to streamline operations across departments - while securing a manufacturing contract to build specialty trailers for a national golf cart manufacturer.
Online Parts Store
2024 marked further innovation as we expanded eCommerce parts distribution, supporting regional fleets with scalable, just-in-time inventory access.
