Alex handles every customer call professionally. He takes detailed notes and ensures all information is retained. When a customer calls in about a check engine light, Alex takes it upon himself to have the customer come in so we can pull a health report and let the customer know on the spot what the problem is. Alex goes above and beyond and to make sure a customer is taken care of, including hours of research getting parts on his own time if the customer needs the truck back immediately.

Alex has completed all required training and is up to date on how to handle different scenarios. When I am unable to be at the shop, I have full trust that Alex will take the reins and handle all issues with the same care I would, ALWAYS putting the customer first.

Alex works consistently on improving on general work attitudes in the shop. Each morning, he greets each technician and asks how they are doing. He genuinely cares about each of the technicians and strives for everyone to be happy at work in a family atmosphere.  When technicians ask for help, he is always willing to go out and give a hand even though it is not part of his job. He enjoys helping and will do anything in his power to keep the technicians busy, and the customers’ trucks moving. 

Alex is the most positive person you could ever meet. He has a strong passion for excellence and is always wanting to grow and be better.
