Brad Sowers Bio
Co-Owner, PresidentJim Butler Auto Group
Brad Sowers joined the Jim Butler Auto Group back in 2003, after deciding the family business that his wife’s father had so carefully built was where he wanted to invest his time and expertise. As a former technology sales and marketing executive, Brad entered the dealership business with a unique perspective on automobile sales – one where technology could improve both the customer experience and internal company processes. He understood that when a dealership combines the ease and efficiency of state-of-the-art technology with world class customer service and happy employees, both the customer and the dealer are set up for success. That philosophy continues to pay off.
A Business Leader
Under Brad’s leadership, his team began a trend of exponential growth and expansion, during which annual revenue at Jim Butler Auto Group has grown from $70 million to over $550 million. Jim Butler Auto Group sells and services new and pre-owned vehicles nationwide through nine dealerships: Jim Butler Chevrolet, St. Louis’ largest Chevrolet dealer and one of the top 50 dealers nationwide; Jim Butler Kia; Jim Butler Maserati; Jim Butler FIAT; Jim Butler-Linn Chevrolet; Jim Butler Alfa Romeo; Jim Butler Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram; Jim Butler Centralia; and Jim Butler Outlet, dedicated to pre-owned sales. Each dealership has modern service centers and large pre-owned vehicle sales operations.
Jim Butler Auto Group currently employs over 430 people at its St. Louis and Mid-Missouri area dealerships, and continually earns numerous awards for sales, quality and customer service, including:
- General Motors "Dealer of the Year" nine years in a row (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)

In 2018, the company opened advanced online storefronts for all brands, and they continue to use every form of social media and technology to communicate and provide exceptional services to their customers.
