We treat our customers like family at Tarheel Auto.
Since 1977, Tarheel Auto has proudly served Locust and the surrounding communities with one guiding principle: treat every customer like family. Founded by Larry Baucom, the dealership was built on honesty, reliability, and a deep respect for the people we serve. From those early days on a small-town lot, Larry’s personal approach to doing business helped Tarheel Auto grow into a trusted name in local auto sales. That same commitment still drives us today.
Now a second-generation family business, Tarheel Auto is operated by Larry’s son, James Baucom, and daughter, Amy Baucom Ennis, who work alongside him to continue the legacy of quality service and hometown values. We’re also proud to have Dennis Kiker, a longtime salesman and friend, as part of our team. For decades, Dennis has built lasting relationships with customers through his helpful, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth service. At Tarheel Auto, we’re not just selling cars — we’re building trust, one customer at a time. When you visit us, you’ll find more than just a vehicle; you’ll find a dealership that genuinely cares.
