Chuck Haselwood's trip from a small-town ranch in Ellensburg to a prominent businessman and neighborhood leader in Bremerton is a testimony to his determination and entrepreneurial spirit. Birthed in 1923, Chuck's story began with a bold decision to leave the farming life and hitchhike to Bremerton, where he started his occupation operating at a gas terminal. His solution in The second world war under General Patton just developed his drive, leading him to enter the pre-owned car organization after returning home. Partnering with Danny Jones, Chuck introduced his own gas station and sold cars and trucks, ultimately creating a long-term collaboration with Bud Higgs to produce Chuck & Buds-- a cars and truck dealer that prioritized customer support, providing guarantees unprecedented at the time.



Chuck's unrelenting drive for innovation led him to increase his business past used vehicles. He took a risk with Buick and later on became the very first to use Honda automobiles in the united state throughout the 1970s gas crisis, marking the start of his nationwide success. His choice to open up a Honda car dealership was ahead of its time, showing his capacity to identify possible in emerging markets. His growth proceeded with other major franchises, and at some point, Chuck started the West Hills Automobile Plex, a business that mirrors his commitment to quality, integrity, and neighborhood service. Chuck's legacy survives not just in the autos he offered, yet in his deep dedication to his neighborhood, which continues to thrive in Kitsap Region today.
