How long have you been with Einspahr?

n

-“I have been with Einspahr for 19 years in May.”

n

 

n

What is the best part of your job or why do you look forward to going to work each day?

n

“I like making sure my customers are taken care of to the best of my ability. So my customers are what keeps me coming back.”

n

 

n

What advice would you give to a new team member?

n

“You are going to have things that are not going to go as planned. Try to keep a level head about it and explain to your customers what is going on with their vehicle. Know your customers. That definitely makes it more personal. I have customers now that we also service their children’s vehicle so that is kind of fun. Seeing them go from little kids to young adults. And of course, just be KIND!!!”

Employee of the quarter

Jake Satterlee

n

How long have you been with Einspahr?

n

“I have been at Einspahr Auto Plaza coming up on 5 years.”

n

 

n

What is the best part of your job or why do you look forward to going to work each day?

n

“I enjoy helping people. Finding that perfect vehicle for the customer is very rewarding. I also enjoy the people I work with; EAP is one big family.”

n

 

n

What advice would you give to a new team member?

n

“The advice that I would give a new team member would be that you are not going to know everything right away, and that is okay. Things are constantly evolving/changing in this industry. It takes time to learn all the product. A positive attitude, and good work ethic will go a long way in this business.”

n

Congratulations to all of these winners for their hard work this year — this team wouldn’t be what it is without them!

n

A recent customer of our newest Employee of the Year Chris Vostad had this to say about his customer service: 

n

 

n

“Recently I was having trouble with my vehicle starting. Chris Vostad managed to get me in that day and get my starter replaced. It’s so great to come to a place that knows me and my vehicle. Thanks Einspahr.”

n

 

n

It’s this kind of service and connection to the community we look for in an employee, and why Chris’ peers voted him our Employee of the Year. 

n

 

n

We couldn’t have made it through this year without every member of our team putting in their best work every day, and we want to especially recognize these three guys for their work this past quarter and year. 

n

 

n

What’s in store for Einspahr in 2023? 

n

This team is excited to find out!
