Gary Lang Auto Group has promoted Jeff Lang as their new Truck Manager. The retirement of long-time Truck Manager, Doug Bober, created an opportunity for Jeff Lang to move from his role as Kia Manager into the truck business for Chevy and GMC.
Jeff’s responsibilities include leading the Business Central division that features Chevy and GMC trucks for commercial use. Because this department caters to local businesses, the Commercial Truck department offers many special services for the local business owner. The philosophy that time is money for small business owners is why Gary Lang Commercial Trucks designs visits to the dealership for sales and service to be as efficient as possible. Gary Lang Commercial Trucks will also bring the truck to the local small business, as well as finalize the sales transaction at the owner’s business on their schedule.
“Jeff has a strong technical background that will really help local business in determining which truck and package is best for them,” stated Dixie Gilmore, Vice-President and General Manager of Gary Lang Auto Group. Jeff has been with Gary Lang Auto Group for fifteen years and has worked in every area of the dealership, starting as porter and working as a service advisor, apprentice service technician, parts, sales and sales management. Jeff earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Automotive Marketing from Northwood University.
