Quality Motors of Independence was originally known as Quality Chrysler. Lorne Schlatter started the business in the 60's. Toward the late 70's Lorne sold the store and then bought it back a couple of years later. In the transition the Ford franchise was added, and it became Quality Motors of Independence. Lorne operated the store until the year 2000. In the interim he acquired two partners, Bob Scovel and Jim Pollock. In addition, he added the Toyota store in 1986 which still operates as Quality Toyota. Today the two stores are owned by Kevin Botts and Allen Wulf.
