If you're in automotive or other industry F&I right now

You already have the skill. What you probably don't have: customers who are glad to be in your office. Nobody is forced to buy a boat or recreational item. They come in to buy something they've wanted for years, and the F&I conversation is about protecting that purchase, not surviving it. Fewer hours than an auto store, a comp plan that doesn't get rewritten every quarter, and a sales team whose process benefits the finance office. If that sounds pleasant, there’s more below.

If you're coming from another industry

We’ve heard a similar story: one company buys another or an industry slows down, management changes strategy, reduces pay plans of the people who helped build the business, tenured staff leaves, more rules and more games. We welcome you to a 52 year, stable local family business with a proven track record – we're on a mission to be the area's best place to work: healthy pay plans, tenured staff, a fun work environment, and straightforward policies.
