Welcome to Gillespie Ford. My name is Jim Lojas, the Manager at Gillespie Ford. I have been in the auto industry for 20 years, mostly with the Gillespie Auto Group. I started off as porter in 1996 and quickly moved my way up to a Sales Manager by 2000. As the Sales Manager at Gillespie Ford, I manage the sales team and assist them with picking the right vehicle for our customers. I also price our inventory at market price to stay competitive while giving our customers a great deal in the process. I strive to provide a great environment for our employees and customers on a daily basis. I want everyone to enjoy their day as much as I do. Mostly, I love to see repeat customers and providing new customers with excellent service to come back or spread the word. My favorite Ford vehicle is the Ford Explorer for its standard 3rd row seats and lane departure noticing. On my time off, I enjoy golfing and spending time with family. While at the dealership, I am here to answer all your questions, give you all your payments options, and value for your trade all with a smile! Email me direct
