Featured Team Member Larry

Time for this week’s featured team member! Today we are featuring Larry. Larry is the New Car Director in the Sales department. He has been a member of the Stingray family for two and a half years.

What does Larry love about Stingray?:

“I love my teammates!

We have all subscribed to a culture that I would have never believed could exist at a car dealership. After twenty years in this business, I thought I had seen it all. I was very wrong.

The compassion, respect, integrity, teamwork, openness, and passion for making every employee and customer not only satisfied, but a delighted new member of our family is truly is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I am proud of Stingray Chevrolet. I am proud to tell everyone I speak to that I work at Stingray Chevrolet. I am proud that when I go home at night I know that as a team we all did everything we could to make every employee and customer experience a delightful engagement.

Working in the New Car Sales department, I also take great pride in having helped my fellow Directors and Sales Professionals move our New Car Sales volume to the top 1% of the country in overall sales, and into the top five overall of New Corvette sales volume!

I am very grateful for Mr. and Mrs. Hurley, John Whaley, Neal Myer, and Scott Ledbetter for accepting me into the Stingray Family!”

Words to live by:

“My favorite quotes are: “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”, “No one can eat 50 eggs”, and “Buying a car doesn’t have to suck!”.

Shoutout to Victoria and Roberta for always having my back and giving me all of the tools I need to be successful.”

Thank you!

Kyla works in Fleet and Commercial, and she has been a member of the Stingray family for a year and a half. What does Kyla love about Stingray?: “From the first time I stepped into Stingray for my job interview, it felt like I was meeting a big family. I met with Steve Hurley plus multiple directors and team members and they were all so welcoming and supportive in finding me the right place in the team. It’s great that even though my department is in a separate building from the main showroom, meeting with so many people on that first day helped make me feel connected with all the other departments. I feel so grateful to have landed in the fleet & commercial family, and that’s exactly what they have become to me – family. It is refreshing to be in an environment where everyone is supportive and encouraging of one another. If a team member is down, we all do our part to help raise them up and that’s part of what makes Stingray such an amazing place to work. This positive attitude trickles into our customer service and relations and even into the community and I believe that’s what sets us above the rest. I feel so blessed to be a part of the Stingray family. STINGRAY RULES!! “ Words to live by: “Love thy neighbor. Widen your heart. If we live with wide open hearts, it preaches to a world that needs more love. “ Thank you Kyla!!
