Bio
Ashley Garduno
Derek is extremely knowledgeable in running a used car department. His dedication and passion for getting the right inventory, at the right time, assisted me greatly while working with him. I have not met a Used Car Director who can also manage sales staff, perform TO's, and ensure that every department cares for the vehicles and processes as much as he does. Every vehicle in inventory, whether a $5,000 vehicle or $80,000 vehicle, was maintained and cared for in the same manner. I would highly recommend Derek to any successful dealer. His consistency will give you the tools your sales staff need to become successful.
