COMPANY HISTORY

It is our relentless pursuit to give all customers the personal attention they depend upon so that we may provide them with the most satisfying experience possible in our Sales, Service, and Parts Departments during each visit to Chrysler of Culpeper.

Chrysler of Culpeper has been serving the Piedmont area since 1996, but the story of the company and the family behind it started long before. In the early 1920s, brothers George and Al Wasserman opened a gas and service station in Arlington, Virginia. While serving their customers' automotive needs, George and Al began offering the new technology of crystal radios. As the business grew, the two ventures outgrew their location and the brothers separated to start Al's Motors, Inc. and George's Radio, later to become George's Radio and TV.

Al and his wife Bertha soon transformed the service station into an automobile dealership, selling and servicing new Chryslers by the end of the decade.


As the automobile industry grew, Al's Motors grew with it, moving the company to a new state-of-the-art building at the corner of Wilson and Pollard in 1949. During the 1950s and 1960s, Al's Motor's became one of the premier dealerships in Northern Virginia and the second generation had started working at the dealership with Sonny and Dorothy Schick managing the company. The company continued to serve the community with Chryslers and Plymouths into the early 2000's, along the way bringing in the third generation of automobile dealers, their sons Wade and Rory. Rory opened Manassas Chrysler Plymouth in 1984 and in 1996, Wade and his wife, Laura, moved to Culpeper to open Chrysler of Culpeper, offering the full lines of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck.

Since opening in 1996, Wade Schick’s Chrysler of Culpeper has had one simple goal…to treat our customers the way we would want to be treated. It has grown from only thirteen employees to nearly triple that number. Over the years, Chrysler of Culpeper has increased its inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles to afford each customer with a great selection. In the service department additions have been made to the number of Chrysler and ASE Certified technicians as well as new technologies to service our customers’ maintenance and repair needs through the life of their vehicles. With the company’s most recent change, Chrysler of Culpeper is proud to announce its new Body Shop capable of repairs including minor collision and paint, windshield chip repair and paintless dent repair.
