His goal is to provide peace of mind, ensuring that every vehicle leaving our center at 1901 N Main St is restored to its optimal condition with total integrity. Life Outside the Dealership David comes from a close-knit family of five and is the proud father of two grown children. When he isn’t managing the precision work at the collision center, he embraces the freedom of the open road, whether he’s riding his motorcycle or heading to the coast for a day of fishing. A true aficionado of classic American power, David’s favorite vehicle of all time is the legendary 1969 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet—a choice that reflects his deep appreciation for automotive history and high-performance engineering. When it’s time for a getaway, David heads straight for the sun and surf of Daytona Beach.

Tonya has been a welcoming presence at the Doug Henry Collision Center since March 2023. As the first point of contact for our guests at 1901 N Main St, Tonya understands that visiting a body shop often follows a stressful situation. She embodies our "Fast. Fair. Friendly." mission by providing a calm, organized, and compassionate experience for every neighbor from Tarboro, Rocky Mount, and Edgecombe County. Tonya is an essential part of the administrative team that keeps our collision repairs moving forward. She works closely with our Collision Manager and insurance partners to ensure that every guest is greeted with a smile and clear information. Her dedication to excellence ensures that the "behind-the-scenes" details of your repair are handled with the same care and integrity as the repair itself, supporting our commitment to a transparent and stress-free process. Life Outside the Dealership Tonya’s life is rooted in faith and family. She has been happily married to her husband, Stephen, for over 35 years. They are the proud parents of two children, Christopher and Angel, and have been blessed with a wonderful daughter-in-law, Brook, and son-in-law, Justin. When she isn’t assisting guests, Tonya enjoys spending time at her church, focusing on intricate cross-stitch projects, or relaxing with a word search. A fan of reliable and versatile engineering, Tonya’s favorite vehicle is the Toyota RAV4. When it’s time to unwind with her family, her ideal vacation spot is always the beach, where she can enjoy the peace and coastal scenery of North Carolina.
