Alex has many plans for the growth of the service department. One thing she is excited to implement is making sure that all customers are greeted with a smile when they enter the service department, and getting to meet and talk to each customer that walks through the door. 

“I would like to thank Mike Johnson and Tom Fischbach, for presenting me with the different opportunities to move into service and to advance in my field, and for their ongoing support. Because of them, I have been able to grow both personally and professionally, and their knowledge has helped me get to where I am today.”
