About Us
Ken's
Kars is a family owned and operated business, that has served
the Dayton Ohio area for over 50 years.
Founded somewhere between 1942 and 1948, Ken's Kars originally was
located just a few doors up from where it is today. Look at
those great old cars in this early photo. Those were the
days!
Central to all of Dayton, Ohio, Ken's Kars has helped
thousands of satisfied customers find a good, reliable used
car.
Three Generations of Owners
 |
Today's owner, Ken Smiley, is the third of a long
line of Ken Smileys, including his Dad and GrandDad.
Ken's earliest memories of Ken's Kars are washing
cars on the lot for his Dad.
Ken is on the lot every day, helping with the every
day goings on. Look him up next time you are in. |
Our Staff
Ron Burton is the Sales Manager.
Ron and Ken actually went to Vandalia-Butler high school
together. Years later, during a white water rafting
trip, Ken mentioned that he needed some help.
That was nine years ago and Ron has been here ever
since. He loves his job! Can't you tell? |

Here is everyone together.
Nick Beigel, on the left, and Steve Haas are our lot
technicians.
They make sure your newly purchased vehicle is freshly
washed and ready to go, among other things, so you
can drive it home with pride. |
Our Most Loyal Customer
"Robert" bought his first car from us back in the 1950's
and has continued to buy a car from us every 2-3 years since.
We guess that he's bought somewhere around 16-17 cars from
us over the years.
Why does he only buy his
cars from us? He trusts us.
Even Our Mailman is a Customer
Our mail carrier, Jeff Crunkleton, bought this Pontiac GTO (pictured
below) from Ken's Kars in 1974. He still has
it!

Drive Away The Same Day -- Even in a Blizzard
"Carl", another loyal customer, first came to us during a big blizzard. A
cab dropped him off in front of our car lot. He looked around
and bought a car. We even got him financing right on the spot
and he drove away that same day with his newly purchased vehicle.
You guessed it, Carl has purchased 3-4 cars since the big blizzard
-- all from us.
