Q. How long have you been at Eide Ford?
Almost 7 years.
Q. How long have you been working in your new role? Did you always want to move to this department?
I’ve been working in the finance department for a little over two weeks. Financing is the next step in the vehicle sales process after a customer decides they want to purchase a vehicle. Joining the Eide finance department seemed like the natural next step in my career.
Q. What do you like most about working in the finance and insurance department at Eide Ford?
Finance is fun, but it can be a puzzle. Working in the finance department involves taking different pieces of something and making it fit together. I’m looking forward to learning more in this new role!
Q. Is there something car shoppers should know about your department?
A lot of customers have questions about car financing but are too afraid to ask them. My biggest advice is to ask all your questions and express your concerns to us; that way we can know how to best help you!
Q. Why is Eide a great place to work?
Eide is the best dealership I could ever ask to work for. They stand by their employees, and the ownership believes in you. I couldn’t ask for a better place to work or buy a car!
Q. Favorite vehicle on the Eide Ford lot?
I’ve always been a fan of the Ford F-150, but right now I’m really excited for the new Ford Bronco to come to town.
Q. What do you like doing in your spare time?
I love to travel and spend time outdoors whenever possible. I like visiting the mountains and walking the trails.
