Fleet Sales Manager

Harris Oceanside Chevrolet Buick GMC

Box 627 512 East Island Highway
Parksville, BC V9P 2G7

I have worked for Harris Oceanside Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd for 16 years now, I started as a detailer washing cars on our lot in January 2006. I worked my way up making my way through Parts and Service before settling in Sales. In 2010 I was appointed the Fleet and Small Business Manager. Harris Oceanside is a great place to work, the staff are great and fun to be around, the management encourage you to be the best you can and support you in every way possible. The training from General Motors of Canada is phenomenal. In my own time I enjoy being outdoors walking and cycling as well as playing Tennis, but not without my iPhone, I love listening to music that's my happy place. I also enjoy watching Soccer (English Premiership) and when I can going to Vancouver Whitecaps games, Formula One is another sport I watch religiously. I'm happily married to Janie for 18 years and we live in Qualicum Beach. Many happy customers, contact me to join the Happy Car Buyers club!

Happy with the results in the end but we did experience a difficult and long delivery time, no fault of the dealership or salespersons. difficult and long delivery time, no fault of the dealership or salespersons. More

I have mental health issues and any stress, even positive, can have a severe impact on me where it impairs my thinking and cognitive issues. Sass and the crew took care of me and made sure that things were explained and re explained when needed. Plus, everyone enjoyed Hazel my service dog. I will be coming back to sass and the crew soon.

It can and delivery of my dream truck. The effort in going over the truck and setting up what I needed before I left the lot was appreciated greatly. It can be overwhelming when purchasing a vehicle but it was about as straight forward as a person could hope for. I would also like to thank Annie Coopman for her help with going over and deciding what warranty/protection plans made the most sense for me. It was nice to have a open dialogue rather then a sales pitch. Cheers! -Nicholas More
