Summary

I have owned DMS Auto Sales since the end of 2019. While at DMS Auto Sales I managed everything besides car repairs. I managed inventory, Sales, Financing, Rep Relations, Auction purchasing, Customer Relations, Accounting and Taxes. I will be the best fit for this position because I have been doing it for my own business for the last 4 years, maximizing profits (front end and back end). I know the ins and outs of every part of a dealership. I have online access to the DMV, issuing temp tags, hard tags and issue registration. I deal with OATO directly with title paperwork and process deals on a daily basis.
