Prestige has been family owned and operated since 1967 right here in Asheville. I was born and raised here in the Asheville area. I grew up hanging around the dealership, while my father Rudy was running it. At some time or other I have done every job at the dealership from cutting the grass, sweeping the floors, to cleaning the cars and working in the service & parts shop. I learned from my father that every customer is important, so I'm here everyday doing whatever it takes to make each customer feel like family.
I've lived in Buncombe County off and on for 40 years. But I have always seen to make it back to the mountains. I'm currently living in Leicester, NC. I have been with Prestige for 7 years. Prestige is my 3rd sales job I have had. It will hopefully be my last.
We have the best products, great co-workers, and great customers. It's easy to say that.
My goal is to provide an easy buying experience and the highest customer satisfaction until everyone in the Asheville area drives a Subaru.
My name is Eric Bates. I came to the wonderful Asheville area 5 years ago with
my wife, Tiffany and our two dogs, Jaxx and Lydia. We moved from Carthage, NC,
where I was born and raised. Our family has grown by two since living here in
western NC. My son Murray is 3 and daughter Cora is 1.5, keeping my wife and I
very busy.
When I'm not working hard, or spending time with my beautiful
children, I enjoy playing as much golf as possible. Preferably ball golf but
also disc golf.
My love for meeting new people and passion for cars has lead
me here to Prestige Subaru. I'm happy to be part of a team of great people.
Hello everyone! I'm Darryl, my wife Neina & I along with our Little Pooch (Sophie) just moved from Florida to call Asheville our home. We've been visiting family here for years and fell in love with the area.
I'm very fortunate to be a part of Prestige Subaru as they are an outstanding Family-based group of people. It's a privilege to help you with your needs. My goal is only the highest level of customer satisfaction. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
I have lived in the Asheville area all my life. I worked as a Automotive Technician for 20 years. I also had a towing company for over 15 years and during that time, I only had to tow in three Subaru's.... so now you know why I love the product.
Buck Davis has been with the Prestige family for over 20 years. He is well known for making lasting relationships with his customers as he is easy to work with, efficient, and accessible.
Buck is a Western North Carolina Native. He grew up in a small town in the country just a few miles away from Asheville. He has 8 siblings with plenty of great stories to tell.
Buck is passionate about his job and his customers.
When he is not working, he enjoys hiking the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, yard work, and being with his son, Trenton.
Greetings and a big "Hello!" the 'Paris of the South'! My name is Delina Hensley and I want to get to know all about you and what you want out of your new Subaru.
I've lived here in Asheville since 2007. My love of theatre brought me here, but my love of the mountains kept me here. I so enjoy a quiet hike on a beautiful day or a quiet walk by the river with my dog, Carson. I am also a performer by trade. Since I was a little girl, the stage called to me and I found I had a knack for entertaining people.
In fact, before arriving here at Prestige Subaru, I was a performing tour guide on the LaZoom Comedy Tours. It's the big purple bus in downtown Asheville. It's always full of folk laughing and having a great time and I'm proud to say that I was a part of that for 5 years.
With my performance and touring background, I enjoy meeting and talking with new people and I can't wait to meet you to help you find the perfect Subaru!
Feel free to bring along any fur babies you may have. They're always welcome and I'm always ready with a treat!
Hi there! I'm Kim Richardson. I look forward to learning about you and your
vehicle needs and helping you find a vehicle you'll love. My focus is giving
you an outstanding purchase and ownership experience.
I've driven my 2005
Forester over 163,000 miles and it has comfortably and reliably delivered me
through snow, ice, rain, and mud. I love my "Rooster." My four-legged
friends appreciate the rear seats folded down so they have prime sniffing
position from the windows. I appreciate the moon roof everyday and the heated
seats on chilly occasions.
I traveled many of those miles touring as a
professional singer/ songwriter. I've released three cds and am always
working on new tunes. I love getting outdoors and exploring trails & waterways. Whether on foot, two wheels, or by kayak, nothing beats getting
my toes in the grass (or water) and the sky in my lungs.
Being a
Prestige Sales Consultant affords me the opportunity to be of
service to
you, helping you find the right vehicle for your needs; one
you'll be proud
to own and excited to drive. Come say hello, let's talk
about what brings
you joy, and find the vehicle that fits your life.
I played lacrosse collegiality at Randolph College and Montreat College. I still play for the Asheville Lacrosse Club and have coached the youth here in Asheville too.
I have been with Prestige Subaru since 2006 and I serve as the Internet Sales Director for Prestige Subaru. Before coming to Prestige Subaru I worked over 20 years as a Store Manager for Ingles Markets. I am grateful for all of the wonderful people I have worked with over the years with Ingles and with Prestige Subaru. I am part of a great team of Internet Sales Specialists . They are smart, gifted, dedicated to each customer they meet and most of all they are a wonderful group of people to spend time around.The Internet Sales team takes a lot of pride in their product knowledge and giving exceptional service.
I have a son Kyle who is a professional welder and a daughter Kaylee who is a student at Milligan College, (studying Occupational Therapy ). They bring great joy to my life and have grown to be outstanding young adults. I love dogs and have had as many as 5 at one time, ( many of them rescues).I love anything outdoors and am an avid reader. I believe the world becomes a better place when we do our best to share kind words and acts of kindness anytime that we can to others. I hope to meet you when you are in to look at a Subaru. Blessings, Joe Tate

My name is Jason Wicks. I thought I would tell you a little bit about me, why I love what I do, and some of the things that make me passionate about life and Western NC. Before joining Prestige in October 2013, I worked in the newspaper industry for 15 years. My love of Subaru started in 1990 with my first car, a 1982 Subaru GL. Since that time, I have owned a total of 8 Subarus, including a 1998 Outback with over 248,000 miles. Four of these vehicles were purchased from Prestige. As you can see, the Subaru brand has been much more than a car for me, it's been a friend and part of the family.
I am married to Lisa and we have 2 girls, Greta and Afton our sweet dog Olive (Yellow Lab) and Tucker the orange tabby cat. After growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I moved to Western NC in 1992 and fell in love with all the mountains can offer and have been here ever since. I enjoy mountain biking, trail running, camping with my family and I recently finished my 6th half-marathon.
Thank you for learning a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you!
