Shop local with Pappy’s Auto Sales

Host Leesa Boone welcomes listeners to Shop Local on Nash 104.9/WWKY, streaming on Facebook and wttoradio.com, and talks with Derek Eckelbarger of Pappy’s Auto Sales. After a quick rundown of quirky national calendar observances, they discuss Derek’s “DriveWithDrock” TikTok approach and the importance of consistent, useful social media for businesses. Derek shares his shift from industrial maintenance into auto sales, motivated by helping people who get turned down elsewhere, and describes Pappy’s transparent, “second chance” model, including shorter three-year terms and a two-year/24,000-mile service contract. He announces Pappy’s consolidation into a new, high-visibility Hopkinsville location (the former Car Mart building on Fort Campbell Boulevard) targeted for mid-October, with possible incentives for Hopkins County customers, and highlights expanded service bays and thorough vehicle inspections.
