Sharrett founder’s love of cars was a basis for family business.

Ralph L. Sharrett had nothing but a love of cars when he got into the
automobile business in 1938. He purchased a Ford dealership in
Manassas, Va., where he grew up.  He was 26 when he borrowed
$1,400 and bought the entire dealership.

In 1940, he acquired Hughes Motor Co. at 30 East Baltimore St. in
Hagerstown MD. and changed the name to Sharrett Motors.
Sharrett then moved the dealership to 1317 Dual Highway in 1953.
He began selling European imports- Saabs, Volvos, Triumphs and
Renaults and of course Volkswagens.

Volkswagen lists Sharrett as the Second-Oldest of its 600 plus
American Dealerships. A history of Sharrett milestone notes that a
brand new Volkswagen in 1954 sold for 1,200.
 

Today, Sharrett is made up of Volkswagen, Mazda and Subaru
dealerships and Pontiac, Buick and GMC dealerships at the I70 Auto Mall. The Company has grown from 10 employees to more then 100 today. Still Family-owned and operated. We invite you to be a part of the Family!
