Our story
A family business built one relationship at a time.
Hubert Vester founded Hubert Vester Auto Group in 1991. From its beginnings as a single dealership, the business grew into a multi-brand automotive group serving drivers across Eastern North Carolina.
The next generation learned the business from the ground up. In a 2022 interview, Chief Operating Officer Chris Vester described starting in the detailing department before working through parts, service, sales, and management. He became the company’s COO and chief visionary in 2014.
Today, the group’s three dealerships—Hubert Vester Honda, Hubert Vester Toyota, and Hubert Vester Chevrolet—are located minutes apart along Raleigh Road Parkway West in Wilson. Concentrating the stores in one community lets each rooftop maintain its own manufacturer expertise while sharing a family-owned standard for how customers and employees should be treated.
Built on family, driven by trust
What our promise means.
Family ownership matters most when customers can feel it in the experience. Our goal is to build relationships that last beyond one transaction or one service visit.
People who keep growing
The group has described itself as a leadership-development company within the automotive business, investing in people who can positively influence customers, coworkers, families, and the community.
Support after the sale
Our relationship continues through factory-focused maintenance, repairs, genuine parts, ownership guidance, and teams who are here when the vehicle needs attention.

Rooted in Wilson
Serving the community that supports us.
Community involvement has long been part of the group’s identity. In a 2022 interview, Hubert Vester Auto Group described relationships with local high schools and community colleges, support for automotive-technology students, a long-running Wilson County Teacher of the Year vehicle program, backpack donations, and participation in Wilson PALS with local law enforcement.
That work has received local recognition. In March 2025, Wilson Education Partnership honored the group with the Jim and Carolyn Hunt Friend of Education Award. The recognition reflects a relationship with Wilson schools and educators built over many years.
Programs and partnerships evolve, but the principle stays consistent: a local business should help strengthen the place its employees and customers call home.
