HOLLINGSWORTH RICHARDS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP
65 Years of Trusted Service
Family-owned
“We are proud to remain locally owned and operated for over 65 years”
automotive group continues to thrive with a commitment
to customer service, community engagement, and industry
With a history spanning decades, the Hollingsworth Richards Automotive Group has become a trusted local source for vehicle sales, maintenance and collision repair services. Its locally owned and operated dealerships not only have impressive new and used inventories but also make it a priority to give back to the community.
The Richards family got its start in the automotive business in Baton Rouge in 1958 when J.W. Richards, Sr., along with sons Jay and Sonny, established Richards Ford. Then, in the early 1970s, the Richards family accepted the offer to become one of the nation’s first Honda dealers, which has since grown to become one of the largest in the state.
In 1996, after being owned outside of the family for several years, River City Ford was purchased and renamed Hollingsworth Richards Ford. This formed the Hollingsworth Richards Automotive Group which is under the care of partners Mike Hollingsworth, Gaye Richards Hollingsworth, Kent Richards, and Polly Richards Lemoine. The fourth generation is now actively involved in the business, continuing its legacy of excelling in the automotive industry.
The automotive group has since expanded its reach in south Louisiana
leadership.
with the purchase of Honda of Covington and Covington Powersports which sells Honda, Can-Am, and Sea-Doo, ATVs, generators, dirt bikes, watercraft and more. Laurie McCants has been a partner and General Manager of the Covington locations since 1998.
Today, the group employs nearly 240 people across its four locations. Each dealership provides excellent service as staff treat every customer as if they were a member of their own family.
“It’s a simple way of doing business that places customer service and ethical business practices at the core of everything we do,” said Operations Manager, Con Lemoine.
As a local business, the automotive group also values building relationships. Customers receive personalized service and can trust that the staff has their best interest in mind as they are part of the same community.
“While there has been a trend nationally where locally owned dealerships are being bought up by large publicly traded companies, we are proud to remain locally owned and operated for over 65 years” said Lemoine. “Our families go to the same schools, the same churches, and play on the same teams as your families and that has a positive impact on
Thank
the customer experience we provide,” said Lemoine.
The Hollingsworth Richards Automotive Group is also involved in community philanthropy by supporting various organizations. This has included being the title sponsor of the Bert Jones Golf Classic, contributing to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for over 25 years. The group’s efforts have helped raise over $1.2 million, making it the foundation’s largest fundraiser in the state.
Since 2008, Hollingsworth Richards has also been the presenting sponsor of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Gala and has donated 10 vehicles and aided in raising more than $2.5 million. The group also supports countless charitable organizations in the area including the American Heart Association, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
A testament to their excellence and reputation in the community, the dealerships have won numerous awards over the years. In 2023, Hollingsworth Richards Ford, Richards Honda and Honda of Covington were all awarded their manufacturer’s top honor, The President’s Award, which goes to a very select group of dealers nationally that have achieved the highest level of guest satisfaction for sales and service. In 2024, Hollingsworth Richards Ford and Honda of Covington were both awarded J.D. Power’s Dealer of Excellence Award.
The Hollingsworth Richards Automotive Group has been a fixture in the community for many years and continues to give back to its clientele. When looking for a new or used vehicle, Richards Honda and Hollingsworth Richards Ford are reliable, local dealerships in Baton Rouge.

CHABERT INSURANCE: A Business Built on Passion and Personal Experience
CALEB MURPHY Office Manager
When Crisis Strikes, Chabert Insurance Goes Above and Beyond for Clients
A business fueled by a personal passion to truly help others, Chabert Insurance of Baton Rouge is one of the best in the industry. Its mission to guide clients to the right policy for them can be noticed and felt in every interaction.
“I experienced firsthand what it was like to be sold a policy that wasn’t truly tailored to my needs. I realized that many agents were more focused on closing a sale than educating their clients,” said owner Evan Gautreaux. “I’ve always had a strong desire to help people, and I knew I could accomplish that through insurance.”
When Evan saw a hole in the industry, he sought to fill it. After interviewing with several different agencies, nothing felt right until he returned to his small hometown roots and joined former classmate Guy Chabert’s family insurance business. In 2018, Evan and his wife expanded the company and opened the Baton Rouge office.
“I loved the challenge of finding solutions – piecing together the puzzle of which carriers could work for each unique situation,” Evan said.
One of his top priorities is to empower clients through education. While some companies might streamline coverage options in the interest of speed, Chabert Insurance makes sure it is done the right way. Its team invests time in guiding clients through different policy options, ensuring they understand how each one could affect them before making any changes.
“Dave Ramsey says it best,” Evan explained. “‘When getting help with money, whether it is insurance, real estate, or investments, you should always look for a person with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman.’
Unfortunately, I encountered too many ‘salesmen’ in this industry – agents who saw clients as numbers rather than people.”
Evan’s value in education was instilled in him from a young age by his parents, both retired teachers, who helped shape his mindset. In turn, his model on education empowers his clients to make informed decisions. Through realtor lunch-and-learns, first-time homebuyer seminars, and one-on-one client conversations, he is driven to make a

meaningful impact and help clients secure a brighter future.
In an area that’s no stranger to hurricanes and flooding, the steady dependability of an insurance company like Chabert has made it a trusted partner in Louisiana. Proactively reviewing policies, Chabert is prepared for the worst by making sure clients have the coverage they need before they need it.
“Our team is set up to work remotely, so even during a storm, clients know they can reach us,” Evan said. “There’s comfort in knowing that when they call, they’re speaking to someone they already trust.”
While some companies may falter in tough times, each insurance agent at Chabert consistently steps up, proving their dedication time and again – even in the face of hurricanes and economic hardships. One particular time that stands out to Evan was when other insurance carriers were forced to go out of business, leaving their clients uninsured and needing help.
“Our phones rang non-stop with people desperate to secure coverage before their deadlines. It was all hands-on deck—
everyone on our team stepped up, not because they had to, but because they wanted to. They came in early, stayed late, and did everything possible to make sure every client had coverage in place,” Evan said. “Our team doesn’t operate with a ‘what’s in it for me?’ mentality. They genuinely care about the people we serve, and that makes all the difference.”
It is times like these when Evan feels most proud of his team and the work they do in educating, assisting, and covering their clients before the storms of life hit.

LEAVE BLANK FOR WINNER’S WRITE-UP
In an industry commonly feared for its tricks, Gerry Lane Chevrolet runs on the American determination to do what is right. It is shaped by the hard work, fortitude, and integrity from its founder Gerald Ray Lane.
After growing up impoverished amidst the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, Gerry planned to start over in California where he had been hired to work in a defense plant. But the day he arrived, the plant closed down. Undeterred, Gerry found himself selling cars with zero experience, a fact he did not try to hide. It turns out that his forthright honesty was exactly what his clients were looking for and has helped his dealership thrive ever since.
Today, the sales team still operates with the same degree of honesty upfront. Customers can be assured that they have all the facts when buying an SUV or sedan from the dealership.
If one does not have room in the budget for a brand-new car, that does not mean the perfect ride is out of reach. The company offers pre-owned vehicles, and its team is happy to help one find the right financing options, even for first-time buyers.
Gerry Lane Chevrolet also services vehicles, showing its continual care for customers, even after they have left the lot.
