- Title: Product Specialist

I'm a Sales Representative, recently joining the team here in Benton. I'm excited to be part of the community and look forward to building relationships. Before this, I spent time as a top-performing life insurance agent, twice ranking in the top 10 nationally out of over 6,000 agents and being awarded "Salesman of the Month" multiple times. I have a genuine desire to help people, especially when they need it most. I pride myself on being honest, upfront, and understanding. I'm licensed to sell life insurance in 23 states and hold certifications in sales tax laws, Anti-Money Laundering, and have completed training with the Arkansas Department of Correction. I also maintain Law Enforcement Part Time 2 certification. I work for Chris Crain DJR at the BIG LOT.

Outside of work, I'm a proud father of three daughters. I'm a big fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks and enjoy spending time with my daughters, being outdoors, hunting, fishing, and hiking. I can chat about pretty much anything – sports, the latest hunting trip, or anything else that comes up. My goal is to make sure my customers feel taken care of and know I'm always there to help.

Hi, I'm John Howard and I've been in the automotive industry for 35 years. I have experience in both sales and finance and truly enjoy taking care of customers. Helping people find their next cars never gets old! 

I'm originally from Little Rock, AR where I attended Joe T. Robinson High School before joining the Marines. I served my country for six years working three duty stations. I guarded nuclear weapons at Marine barracks in Bremerton, Washington. At Camp Lejeune, I was part of a marine amphibious assault company. And as an infantryman, I was sent to Grenada and Beirut, Lebanon. Upon returning home in 1989, I started my career in the automotive industry.

- 2026-02-24 | 5.0/5 | Wade G. — Excellent.  John took the time to listen to my wants as well as actual needs then helped me find the right truck to cover it all.  This took a couple of days and several test drives.  John never got impatient and gave me the feedback necessary to make a logical decision.  More than that, after my bank wanted more money down, he got it done with the same interest rate through another company.
- 2025-07-09 | 5.0/5 | Lester A. — John stuck with me for several weeks determined to find me the truck I wanted in the price range I was looking for.  He finally found it and got the deal done.  Great to work with and he continued to be sure I was happy with the truck after the sale.  I highly recommend John and the sales team at Chris Crain Ram.
- 2026-01-06 | 5.0/5 | Perry W. — Our experience was very good MR. John was very knowledgeable about the vehicle. He took the time to show us everything about the vehicle from front to back. Very professional and nice. I Highly recommend MR. John. Very pleasant buying experience 5 stars

Hi, I'm a Product Specialist at Chris Crain DJR and Collision, and I'm excited to be here.  I'm from Glenwood, Arkansas, and have a background in the auto industry (though it's been a while!).  I'm a week in and already enjoying getting to know everyone.  I'm passionate about helping people – whether it's customers or colleagues – and I'm always happy to lend a hand.  My free time is usually spent with family, often at sporting events. I'm a big Razorbacks fan and love talking about my kids. I'm respectful and hardworking; you'll find me working hard from the moment I clock in until I clock out.  One of the best parts of my previous job was seeing the joy on customers' faces when they drove off in their dream car. That's the kind of positive experience I want to bring here.

- 2025-11-27 | 5.0/5 | Bradey J. — Josh was awesome. We knew what truck we wanted to look at and he had it out and ready for our arrival. We were also in a hurry and he helped expedite the process and clean out our trade in. After returning home the vehicle alerted us to a high oil level, assuming it had been overfilled when serviced at the dealership I reached out to Josh and he took care of the issue and got it fixed at a local dealer.
- 2025-12-02 | 5.0/5 | Edward H. — Josh was a great help with my purchase of a new Ram Tungsten.  His product knowledge and enthusiasm for the brand convinced me that this was going to be a great purchase.
- 2025-12-11 | 5.0/5 | Sheila S. — The best experience I have ever had buying a vehicle!! I will definitely be telling all of my friends and family to go see Josh for their next vehicle!

Was a great help with finding exactly what the wife wanted in her first Wrangler. Hope to be back after something to update mine sometime soon.

Recent reviews:
- 2026-03-31 | 5.0/5 | Ashley C. — Great customer service, friendly, and respectful. I felt comfortable from the beginning to the end of my buying process. I originally booked an appt with another salesperson but they were busy at the time of my appointment. Kirk stepped right in, with a smile and friendly “willing to help” attitude which made a rather mundane process of purchasing a vehicle a bit more tolerable.

On the evening I purchased my vehicle, the detail shop had closed. Upon driving home my tire sensor came on. I called Kirk the next day and he told me to bring it back to be looked it. No questions asked, just good service, a small wait and my issue was fixed followed by a “if you have any other issues, please let me know” and a smile. Great guy, great team, great service!
- 2026-03-02 | 5.0/5 | Brooke H. — Purchasing this vehicle from Kirk was a fantastic experience. He was friendly, honest, and worked to get my wife exactly what she wanted. He even picked up her new vehicle from another dealership the same day so she didn’t have to come back on Monday. Overall, this was a great experience and we’d highly recommend Kirk for your next vehicle.
- 2025-12-06 | 5.0/5 | Stephen S. — Very pleased with the service he provided,  gave us the best deal possible,  very kind person. Would definitely ask for him again buying a vehicle.  GIVE HIM A RAISE! HE DESERVED IT 😁

- 2026-02-18 | 5.0/5 | Casey M. — We’ve now purchased THREE vehicles from him, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. He is never pushy, incredibly patient, and truly listens to what you want instead of trying to sell you something you don’t need. He goes above and beyond searching for the right vehicle and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free every time.

What really sets him apart is that the service doesn’t stop after the sale — he’s always available to answer questions and help whenever needed. Finding someone you can genuinely trust in the car business isn’t easy, but he has become our go-to person and we wouldn’t buy from anyone else. Highly recommend!
- 2026-03-05 | 5.0/5 | Lance C. — Excellent! Very personable and caring individual. He was a huge help. Mike, Brian, and the staff were all awesome. Highly recommend shopping here. Will definitely share my experience and advocate to send more patrons their way. Great job to all!

- Title: Service Advisor

With 40 years in the service industry, I've spent my career building strong relationships with customers, many of whom, like Tammy, Stephen, Whitney and Ashley, have become more like friends. Originally from Arlington, TN, I now call Beebe, AR home. My commitment to honesty and getting the job done right has always been my priority. I'm a graduate of Horn Lake High School, GTE Technical School, and William R. Moore College of Technology.

I'm a people person through and through. Keeping customers informed and updated is just as important as the repairs themselves. I'm proactive, and I always aim to exceed expectations. I've been a certified HVAC Universal Refrigerant technician for years, and I've also received numerous certifications from the Cadillac Motor Division. I enjoy the challenge of repairing just about anything.

Beyond the shop, I love to cruise, having been on six, and enjoy visiting places like Orange Beach. When I’m not working, you can find me water skiing, bowling, bass fishing, or boating. I’m also a big fan of NASCAR, especially #9.

I’ve always thrived in customer service roles. I enjoy engaging with people, and I pride myself on being easy to get along with. I’m comfortable discussing just about anything and stay informed about current events, both nationally and globally. Having grown up in the Navy, I have a deep love for this country. I worked for Chris Crain DJR and Collision for a time, and I am always looking for an opportunity to serve and assist others.
