About us

A small lot, bought carefully

Cochran Motor Company is a locally owned lot on North Broad Street in Rome, serving Rome, Floyd County and the towns around them. We keep it small on purpose. There are 42 vehicles on it today, mostly trucks and SUVs, and we would rather turn down five than put one out front we would not want a neighbor to end up with.

Who you are buying from

The lot opened in 2025. The experience behind it is longer than that: more than ten years in the automotive industry before the doors here ever opened. This is a family business, and the name on the sign belongs to the person you will meet when you come in.

What that buys you is simple. There is no separate used-car department, no rotating sales floor, and nobody here works to a quota that outranks the person buying. If something is wrong with a vehicle we sold, the person who bought it is standing in the same building.

TJ Cochran Owner

TJ opened the lot in 2025, after more than ten years in the automotive industry. The picture is opening day, and the people in it are the reason it is a family business rather than a description of one.

He describes the job the same way every time he is asked: doing business the right way, with honesty, hard work, and a handshake you can trust. He is on the lot, and he is the person you will meet when you come in.

Christian Brannon

Christian is 27 and graduated from Pepperell High School in 2018. He married Bailey in July 2023 and they are expecting a baby boy. He has been selling cars since May 2021, which suits him: he is a lifelong NASCAR fan, and when he is not on the lot there is a good chance he is at a car show or at the track.

How we buy

Every vehicle we take in gets its title and history checked before it goes on the lot. That is why all 42 vehicles in stock right now carry a clean title, and why none of them has reported frame damage. A vehicle history report is available on 40 of them, and 23 show a single previous owner.

Those are not marketing numbers. They come straight out of our inventory system and this page recounts them every time the site rebuilds, so if it ever stops being true, it will stop saying so.

What that gets you

A clean title keeps your financing options open, keeps insurance straightforward, and protects what the vehicle is worth when you come to sell it. It is the difference that does not show up in a photograph, which is exactly why it is worth being loud about.

However your credit looks

We work with all kinds of credit and treat everyone the same way. If your credit is strong, we will help you put it to work. If you are rebuilding, we will walk you through the options plainly, with no pressure and no runaround. We are not a lender ourselves, so what we are really doing is putting your application in front of people who might say yes, and telling you the truth about where you stand.

If it is not on the lot

Tell us what you are after. We buy at auction and take trades every week, so a vehicle that is not here today is often findable. Give us the model, a rough year and what you want to spend, and we will look for it rather than talk you into something else that happens to be sitting out front.

Come and look

We are at 1023 N Broad St, Rome, GA 30161. Ask to see the paperwork on anything that interests you. We would rather you check than take our word for it.
