Our neighbors are moving away and that’s got us all reminiscing about our good memories together.  My wife went through our neighborhood pics on my other blog and tonight I decided to look through a few from High Maintenance.  Here’s what I found:

Find it hard to walk through large crowds? Nobody listens when you ask to slip past the people in front of you? Have no fear! An Asian opportunist has found the perfect solution:

Meet the Staff: Horace Lawrence

If you have ever been to Leikin Motor Companies, this man needs no introduction. He has probably washed, vacuumed, or detailed your vehicle. Horace Lawrence is one of the wash rack guys at Leikin Motor Companies.  He is known for his hard work and attention to detail. So, you can understand why so many of our customers value the free car washes available to every service and sales customer.  The results are that good.

Horace has been in the business for over 20 years. So, you might say he has a little experience at what he’s doing. He and the rest of the crew have detailed everything from Hyundai to Mercedes-Benz. And the job is done so well that some customers only bring their vehicles to Leikin when they needs to be cleaned. That’s a good reputation and Horace is a big part of that. Thanks, Horace!

Meet the Staff: Ken Counselman

Ken Counselman

During my time as a salesman at Leikin Volvo, I had the privilege of working with Steve Ours, Jim Vanek, and Greg Schneider.  From the beginning, we were known as the Volvo boys.  Besides the daily beatings I received from the sales manager, and we developed a camaraderie which made for a good work environment.  However, when I took the position of internet manager, it was important to bring in someone who would fit in with the existing team.  I’m pleased to announce that we have found just the person we needed.

Ken Counselman brings over 14 years of sales experience to the dealership, his most recent experience being with Acura and Infiniti.  The first thing you notice about Ken is that he is calm and unassuming.  Customers don’t feel intimidated by his approach to sales.  This has already been evident by the ease with which he has already sold several Volvos.  Ken is 57 years old and resides in Maple Heights, Ohio with his three dogs, Pedro and Chico (chihuahuas), and Sasha (black lab/German shepherd).

If you would be interested in talking with Ken about a new or pre-owned vehicle, feel free to contact him at (440) 946-6900.
