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!

Beyond our expectations Dee and I were treated like we were more than just clients - more like friends And even family. When you enter a business and find everyone is smilin Dee and I were treated like we were more than just clients - more like friends And even family. When you enter a business and find everyone is smiling and acknowledging your presence you feel some kind of special. We had specific requirements in a vehicle and Richard Allan was very accommodating to ensure those were met. We couldn't be happier with our choice in vehicle. Everyone was helpful and it was an unstressful experience. Having purchased many vehicles over the years I can't remember a sales transaction being so smoothly completed. Thank you to the entire team at Harris Oceanside GM and especially Richard Allan. More

Excellent service from the moment we walked in. Richard made us feel very comfortable and relaxed from the moment we got there. He was extremely through in explaining all the features of the 2016 Richard made us feel very comfortable and relaxed from the moment we got there. He was extremely through in explaining all the features of the 2016 Cruz. He answered all our questions patiently and was very respectful of our needs. We never felt pressured as we have with other salesmen. After the sale he was a big help in setting up on star. He even helped up transfer some items we had forgotten in our other Cruz. He encouraged us to contact him at anytime if we needed help with any new feature of the car. We both would highly recommend him to any our friends who would be needing a new car. More
