Tom Himes has been in the car business for over 45 years, beginning when he was a young boy working in parts and service in a Lafayette, Indiana dealership, founded by his Grandfather.

It was at Fireproof Garage that Tom developed a life long passion for cars. From the age of twelve, Tom would work after school and during the summer at the garage, eventually transitioning from service and parts to the sales floor, where he enjoyed the personal aspect of the business; helping people find cars for their families and fixing cars when something wasn't working right.

In 1978, he married his home town sweetheart and they moved to Arizona, where he began leasing cars and later formed Himes Leasing & Sales.

Tom leases and sells all makes and models of new cars, and hand selects quality used cars for resale. His business success stems from a growing client base; people who appreciate the ease and honesty of doing business with Tom and refer their family, colleagues and friends. His way of doing business reflects the small-town way he was raised.

Most transactions are handled completely over the phone and clients deal only with Tom and his administrative assistant, Leslie, who makes sure everything is organized and right. Clients tell him they appreciate the savings and ease of getting a new car at Himes Leasing & Sales.
