In 1987 Carl Barnett began to prepare himself for a career as an automotive dealer by enrolling in the General Motors Dealer Academy. Upon graduating, Mr. Barnett purchased his first dealership, Barnett Oldsmobile in Tulsa Oklahoma.

In May of 1991 Carl Barnett became the proud owner of Gulf Freeway Pontiac-GMC in Houston, Texas. Mr. Barnett and the Barnett Auto Group owned three dealerships in the Houston area.

Through various strategic business moves, Mr. Barnett has now diversified and streamlined his holding to three dealerships (Paris Ford-Lincoln, Gorman McCracken Volkswagen-Mazda, and Baytown Hyundai) and looks forward to continue growth of his dealer group. I am proud of my success but attribute most of this to the people that I have had the opportunity to work with and I give credit to the employees that I have had the pleasure of training in the automotive industry all of these years. I also believe that a dealership can be successful by exceptional customer service. Our loyal customers have made my dealerships grow and for that I am thankful.
