Jimmy - Customer Service

Jimmy answers our customer phones, waits on people in our front lobby, and takes care of core or merchandise returns. We keep giving him new extra responsibilities so he is a very busy person. He has become very talented in locating, evaluating and recognizing items in our large used parts inventory.

He has been with us 15 years and handles himself well. His knowledge of early trucks is amazing. Jimmy's talents with older vehicles relates to his earlier years. For 17 years he drove his 1969 Pontiac Firebird. He was personally involved in all the repairs as well as total engine rebuilding. During this time he also owned and did major repairs on a 1965 Chevelle and 1963 Impala. His brother's 1962 Chevrolet ½ ton also received many of Jimmy's talents to keep it on the road.

John-Sales

John is one of our most experienced sales people. He has been with us managing customer phone calls and sometimes our front counter since October 2012. In between waiting on our customers, he is managing our online orders and answering emails. He is so good helping with our customers, we do not dare move him from his important position.

He owns a calmer auto now, however in years past, some great memories come from driving a 1978 Firebird. Those were the days!
