Strong business continues in the 21st century, with Guaranty adapting to the changing expectations and demands of customers and the marketplace. The original automotive dealership is now Guaranty Chevrolet-Pontiac-GM Certified, with General Motors' retirement of the Oldsmobile nameplate in 2004. The automotive dealership has also carved a niche as Oregon's used truck headquarters, with over 150 pre-owned pickup trucks and SUVs in inventory. Guaranty RV's California locations were reduced in favor of a seasonal winter location in Yuma, Arizona to meet the growing demand of "snowbird" RVers. A second Oregon location was added in 2000 along Interstate 5 just north of Eugene to house premiere diesel pusher motorhomes from manufacturers such as Country Coach, Monaco, Newmar and Travel Supreme. And of course with the increased importance of the Internet to today's consumer, Guaranty continues to impress with an industry-leading website. Guaranty is also proud to continue supporting the Oregon-built brands that have made Oregon an RVing Mecca: Country Coach, Fleetwood, Monaco, Northwood, Safari & Skyline. Boasting an amazing selection of recreational vehicles, from entry-level tent campers to the most luxurious diesel pushers built, "We don't just sell fun, we Guaranty it"Guaranty continues to reign as the largest RV dealer in Oregon and one of the largest in the nation, with nearly 1,000 new and used vehicles in stock reflecting dozens of brands. Customers continue to enjoy the close factory connection we offer being moments away from manufacturers such as Country Coach and Monaco. Guaranty Chevrolet, for its part, is consistently recognized as a regional leader in the automotive sales field. More than 400 of Oregon's best and brightest call Guaranty a great place to work and the dealership is still fully owned and operated by the Nill Family, with patriarch Herb serving as dealer of the RV division while his son Shannon acts as dealer for the automotive division. With over 40 years in business and a lasting legacy built on selection, service and savings, the future at Guaranty looks as bright as its past.

Harold Rolfe Owen was a man with a vision, a vision which continues today. He was always a risk taker, at the age of 18 he was badly injured when his plane crashed during World War I. Soon after his introduction to the motor industry (with Jack Barclay), he established his own business in Mayfair. In six short years, the name H.R. Owen was synonymous with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The outbreak of World War II saw H.R. Owen and, indeed, the British motor industry itself, grind to a halt. Owen, himself, died in 1940 when tank manoeuvres aggravated his old injuries. It took another risk taker, Yorkshireman Fritz Swain to rekindle the business and keeping the original name, he reopened in Berkeley Street with just 40 cars. Post-war regeneration and the rise of the entrepreneur saw the company flourish. The past 30 years or so has seen new marques added and changes of ownership and the H.R. Owen name goes from strength to strength.
