Construction of Our Snow Ramp

We decided to put our mountain of snow that has accumulated from clearing our lot to good use and build a snow ramp for our vehicles. L.E.T. Construction arrived today with their backhoe and got right to work. When it's completed and we have vehicles parked on top, we hope to do another post.  You can also check out the video of the construction on West Park's Youtube channel by clicking this link: http://www.youtube.com/westparkgm#p/a/u/0/mwkd50D9Dmc

All About Alec - Sales Advisor

Alec is the newest member of our sales team. He began working at West Park in October of 2009 but joined our sales team this last summer. Alec looks forward to meeting many new people and the opportunity to drive and get to know many different vehicles. One highlight that stands out in his mind is his first sale, a 2011 factory order Equinox! “And other than my first sale I would have to say another highlight was driving all the sports cars to and from the park for the show,” Alec recalls. When we asked him what his favourite vehicle is that he has owned, he laughed and said, “How do you have a favourite when it's been a van, a Mercury Villager, that was cheap and used and a '92 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Elite? I mean, that thing was loaded but what young guy wants to drive an old boat? I've always wanted a 4x4 crew cab GMC in stealth grey. I'd like to use it to tow a boat.”

Meet Vic - Sales Advisor

Six years ago the West Park team decided we needed yet another Loewen family member on board and Vic joined our sales department. Finally the sales department was put on an even playing field with the service department when it came to in-house professional comedians. A battle of wits has been ongoing ever since. Judging by his cheery attitude at work every day, we believed him when he said, “The highlight of my job is coming to work every day and meeting nice customers!” His enthusiasm and dedication at West Park has earned him the status of a Four Year Member of the Sales Marketing Guild, which is based on his sales education and customer satisfaction. One of Vic's favourite vehicle suggestions is the Equinox because it is so versatile, suits all ages, is comfortable, well-built and well-designed. “Really, I have so many favourite vehicles it is hard to pick just one. I of course like the Camaro and Corvette. I also like our trucks, the Regal and our newest vehicle, the Cruze.” Vic would love to help you get into a vehicle that is just right for YOU!

A Bit About Brad - Sales Representative

Brad has been our sales representative for 4 years. Having owned over 20 vehicles thus far, he should have some good first-hand knowledge and opinions on which vehicle to drive. Brad bought his first vehicle 4 days before his 16th birthday. He and his mom went shopping for it together and they drove away with a 3 hundred dollar '63 Pontiac Strato Chief, 3-speed, 4 door. “It was a big boat... not cool! But it has fond memories, it was my dating car! At 100 000 kilometers I remember stopping the car to look at the odometer and recall the good times!” A favourite vehicle Brad has owned was his green '69 Chevelle. “I'm putting out a plea to help me find it,” Brad stated. “Laura will buy it back for me if we can locate it.” While owning the Chevelle, Brad drove a $400 clunker in the winters. Now his vehicle of choice is the Enclave in cocoa or diamond white. “I like its design and the Buick name. It is classy, stylish and gives a great ride.” Come and see Brad for advice on which vehicle option might be best for you, and remember, if you have any leads on the whereabouts of his green '69 Chevelle, Brad would love to hear from you!

Lots About Lyn - Business Office Manager

Lyn joined our West Park team with 20 years of financial expertise under his belt in July of 2009. He transitioned very comfortably into his new role as our Business Office Manager. Lyn said, “I enjoy the variety in my job and the people I work with here. I also like the amount of tools I have to help put people into vehicles at a payment they can afford.” Lyn recalls a “highlight” while working at West Park, okay, maybe not a highlight but certainly one of those moments he won't soon forget. “I liked the way our row of Corvettes looked all lined up in the front of West Park. But what a sight it must have been when guys in their, shirts, ties and dress shoes were out there moving them inside for the winter and we were getting the Vettes stuck on the flat, bare parking lot.” Where is the camera when you needed one? One vehicle Lyn really likes is the Enclave. “It is luxurious, smooth and quiet and fits 7 people. We have 6 in our family and it is very comfortable.” When Lyn “grows up” he says he'd like a black CTS V. His favourite 4-wheeled vehicle was his first he ever owned, a '67 Ford Mustang (I can't believe we are mentioning that on our site), which he restored. However, Lyn's all time favourite, top-the-charts, doesn't get better than this vehicle is, as he put it, “Anything on 2 wheels and LOUD!”
