As one of the fourth generation of Fowlers at Modern, Fred's son, West, loves the outdoors second only to his love for the family business, which he joined in 1993.

What our customers are saying about Joe:
"The purchase of my new Forrester was great. The salesman Joe was very
knowledgeable about my car and made the process go fast and simple. This
is my 2nd purchase from this dealer, good job!"
"Joe Toliver was the salesman who came out when my
wife and I pulled up. We had never met him before, but he was the first
car salesman (ever in my life) that did not give you that feeling of
being a vulture, or like he was going to sale you a car before you left
the lot no matter what."
