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!

The Old and The New It was a bitter sweet decision to finally come to the decision to trade in my very reliable GMC Safari. I purchased it from Harris Oceanside nearly 15 It was a bitter sweet decision to finally come to the decision to trade in my very reliable GMC Safari. I purchased it from Harris Oceanside nearly 15 years ago but it was time. The process was made easy by the staff that helped me. I was given a very fair trade in on my old vehicle and everyone tried hard to make my new purchase an affordable and comfortable one for me. I am now the proud and very happy owner of my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. It’s perfect for my family and my Home Staging and Design business. I appreciated the respect and great customer service that I received from all the staff. I have now purchased two vehicles from Harris Oceanside and I will definitely be back for a third in the future. Thank you! Amanda Hatcher More

Andy introduced us to Richard Allan as the dealership's "truck exper Initial contact with Andy Lankester with our interest in purchasing a new truck. Andy introduced us to Richard Allan as the dealership's "truck expert". His assessment of Richard was spot on. It is obvious that Andy knows the business and his staff. Every aspect of our transaction was timely and exemplary. Richard ensured his focus and explanations were directed to my wife as much as myself. She appreciated that very much. Richard has a complete grasp of the mechanical/technical functions and assets of the vehicle. We will certainly take him up on his continuing commitment to assist us in navigating the functionality of the various electronic and On Star features. Ashley Henry assisted with all aspects of the financial/warranty components of the transaction with clarity and knowledge. More
