At Ed Payne Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, our mission extends beyond selling and servicing vehicles—we’re dedicated to serving our community and investing in the future. That’s why we were thrilled to host an incredible group from City Kids Adventures for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of our dealership.

Led by our General Manager, Tony Flores, the kids explored all areas of the dealership—from the showroom floor where customers find their dream cars, to the parts department that keeps vehicles running, and the service shop where skilled technicians bring machines back to life. Throughout the tour, each stop became a teaching moment, designed to show just how many career paths exist in the automotive industry.

The experience was eye-opening not just for the kids, but for our team as well. Many of these young students had never seen the inner workings of a dealership, let alone learned about the many jobs that support the automotive world—from service writers and finance experts to sales professionals and certified mechanics. Our goal was to introduce them to a world of opportunity and help them understand that with curiosity, hard work, and the right mentorship, they can achieve great things.

City Kids Adventures is an outstanding organization that empowers youth through outdoor education, career exploration, and character-building programs. Their mission aligns perfectly with our values at Payne Auto Group, where we believe in giving back to the community and helping shape future leaders.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to host this visit and provide a space where learning and inspiration could take the front seat. It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful exposure and mentorship can be in shaping a young person’s future.

We look forward to welcoming more groups like City Kids Adventures and continuing to open doors—both literal and figurative—for the next generation of professionals.
