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!

Excellent sales experience. We traded in our 2017 GMC Sierra Kodiak for an 2020 SLT Canyon. As there wasn't one on the lot,Richard and Brad worked hard to source a truck that met We traded in our 2017 GMC Sierra Kodiak for an 2020 SLT Canyon. As there wasn't one on the lot,Richard and Brad worked hard to source a truck that met our needs. After some back and forth negotiation, we were happy with the value given our trade. We were able to transfer balance of warranty, and Annie made transfer of ownership seamless. Would not hesitate to recommend this hard working dealership. This transaction was completed professionally with all the physical distancing, screening and cleanliness required during this Covid 19 process. More

All in all an excellent experience anMany thanks to everybody. More
