Meet Our Owners

You Pick It Out Motor Co.

At You Pick It Out Motor Co., we’re not your typical car dealership—and that starts at the top.

Owners Chace Pate and David Christian bring over 50 combined years of automotive experience to the table. After decades of working inside the traditional dealership model, they saw firsthand the frustrations customers deal with every day—hidden fees, confusing pricing, high-pressure sales tactics, and unnecessary overhead driving up costs.

So they decided to do something about it.

Together, they built You Pick It Out Motor Co. around one simple idea:

There’s a better way to buy a car.

No games.

No gimmicks.

No hidden fees.

And most importantly—no overhead.

By eliminating the bloated costs of traditional dealerships, they’ve created a streamlined, transparent buying experience where the savings are real—and passed directly to you.

This isn’t just a business. It’s a mission to change the way people buy vehicles.

Owner/Operater

CHACE PATE

Owner | 20 Years Automotive Experience

Chace Pate has spent the last two decades mastering the automotive industry from the ground up, working his way into leadership roles and ultimately serving as a General Manager.

Throughout his career, Chace built a reputation for:

Straightforward communication
Strong leadership
And putting people before profit

But over time, he grew frustrated with the traditional dealership model—where pricing games, unnecessary fees, and corporate overhead often got in the way of doing right by the customer.

Chace knew there had to be a better way.

That belief is what led to the creation of You Pick It Out Motor Co.—a dealership built on transparency, simplicity, and real value.

Today, Chace focuses on delivering an experience where customers feel confident, informed, and respected every step of the way.

No pressure. No confusion. Just real deals.

DAVID CHRISTIAN

Owner | 30 Years Automotive Experience

With over 30 years in the automotive industry, David Christian brings unmatched experience and insight to You Pick It Out Motor Co.

Having worked in multiple roles—including General Manager, David has seen every side of the business. He understands what works, what doesn’t, and most importantly—what customers actually want.

And what they want is simple:

Honest pricing
No surprises
And a smooth, hassle-free experience

After years inside traditional dealerships, David recognized how inflated costs and outdated practices were hurting both customers and the industry as a whole.

That’s why he partnered with Chace Pate to build something different.

At You Pick It Out Motor Co., David helps lead a model that strips away the unnecessary and focuses on what matters most—value, transparency, and trust.
