Lee Johnson COO, Justin Meek said, "The service we provide after the car sale is just as important as the service we provide during the car sale.  We are committed, as operators of franchise car dealerships, to developing a skilled team of technicians to keep the cars in our community safe and on the road.  We are proud to offer this program and opportunity for people in our communities to build a career."
