  • DAVID TAYLOR
    DEALER PRINCIPLE

    David Miller Taylor
    Owner | David Taylor Chrysler of Benton

    When David Taylor opened David Taylor Chrysler of Benton, his goal was simple: build a dealership that reflects the values he holds most dear-faith, family, and serving others well.

    As a lifelong Kentuckian and proud graduate of Murray High School and Murray State University, David believes in treating every customer like a neighbor and every team member like family.

    At DTC Benton, David has brought together a team focused on honesty, humility, and hard work-the same values that drive the local community. His favorite vehicle? The Jeep Wagoneer-not just for the comfort and capability, but for the memories made riding around with his nine grandkids.

    Outside the dealership, you'll find him on the golf course, sharing quiet mornings with his wife, Jennifer, or cheering on Murray State basketball.

    At DTC Benton, "We love to see you happy" isn't just a slogan-it's a promise to serve our Marshall County neighbors with honor, kindness, and heart.

Parts with the "50-States Street Legal" logo are considered "Street Legal" by Executive Order. These add-on or modified parts are considered "Street Legal" because they have an Executive Order from the State of California. FCA US LLC has demonstrated through emission testing that the use of these parts does not adversely affect vehicle emissions of production vehicles with certified emission control systems. Those parts that have been granted an exemption by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) or meet the EPA requirements of memorandum IA are legal for highway use in California, New York and Massachusetts and are noted as such. Federal law, and many state, provincial and local laws, impose vehicle emissions and safety standards that prohibit the use of a motor vehicle on public streets and highways if the vehicle is not compliant with such standards. FCA US LLC customers are responsible for complying with applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws, including environmental and safety laws, and for determining whether their modified vehicle complies with such laws.
