The founding story and how DEX became the largest independent dealer.
Learn moreCompany · Integrity & Heritage
Integrity built the largest independent.
The largest independent dealer in the country got there the way it serves customers: deliberately, locally, and on its word. Integrity is the through-line from a 2002 Tampa startup to a national company, and it is why the heritage matters.
Built one market at a time
Founded by a father and son. Built by local teams.
DEX was founded in Tampa in 2002 by Dan Doyle Sr. and Dan Doyle Jr. It grew by opening local branches and by acquiring respected regional dealers, then integrating their teams and customers rather than displacing them. Ownership has changed over the years; the local, service-first way DEX started has not. The full founding story lives on Meet DEX.
Why heritage is a buying signal
Choosing a long-term partner is underwriting continuity.
The evidence is the record: DEX has served customers since 2002, backs every agreement with The DEX Declaration four-hour response, and staffs its markets with local DEXperts who know the equipment in your building.
