With a large outdoor lot and a modern, spacious building for sales and service, the dealership began a period of steady growth to the point where today, sales are four times what they were in 1976 and there are 24 full-time employees. President Bryce Philp is proud of his staff, several of whom have been with the company since 1976 and virtually all are residents of Port Perry and Scugog Township area. The Service Technicians in the Service Department participate in monthly factory train- ing and bi-weekly exams through General Motors. Several of the staff in the parts/service departments are members of the GM Techni- cians Guild, and the sales department staff have received recognition from GM for "Distinctive Achievement of the Highest Standards in Automotive Sales". The dealership has consistently been rated by GM with an average of over 90 per cent in the Customer Satisfaction Index. $3 OFF 16'Large Plxxa $4 OFF 18° Xlarge Pizza 1 coupon per pi FAST PICKUP & DELIVERY Open till 4 AM Thurs, Fri. & Sat.
