Bio
I was born and raised in Central Oregon, and no matter where my travels take me—even abroad—this will always be home. The Central Oregon lifestyle keeps calling me back.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me skiing, hiking, sailing, or flying airplanes—embracing the adventure that comes with living here.
Our company has deep roots in the region, founded by my great-grandfather in Madras in 1937. As a fourth-generation business owner, I take great pride in continuing that legacy. These days, you can usually find me at our new facility on Highway 20 in Bend, doing what I love.
Company
Thomas Sales and Service is proud to be the last locally owned and operated new car dealership in Bend, Oregon. The legacy began in 1919 when William Thomas, grandfather of Matt and Bill, returned home from WWI and started working at a Chevrolet dealership. His passion for the industry never faded. In 1937, he founded Thomas and Doty Super Service Center, a gas station and Dodge-Plymouth dealership. After his passing in 1961, his sons, Pat and Jack, took over the family business, carrying on the tradition that has now evolved into Thomas Sales and Service.
Today, Thomas Sales and Service remains committed to providing exceptional vehicles, financing solutions, and customer service. Whether you're searching for a reliable family car, a rugged work truck, or a stylish sedan, our showroom features top-notch new and used vehicles to suit every need. With a dedicated team, comprehensive service center, and strong community roots, we continue to prioritize customer satisfaction and uphold the values that have defined our business for generations. Visit us at our new facility on Highway 20 in Bend and experience the Thomas Sales and Service difference.
Remarkable Difference
We are a 4th generation family owned automotive new car dealer and the last of its kind in Bend, Oregon. We take pride on our track record of servicing Central Oregonians and the surrounding area since 1937.
Testimonials
“Best car purchasing experience ever! No pressure, friendly, answered every question. Treated us like friends. Great group of people every part of the process and including the service department who we met to have a tow package installed. Customer service so far exceeds any we have encountered in the past, and we were encouraged to come in any time for questions and/or help with anything we need to get the most out of our new vehicle. Thanks to everyone involved.”
