Jose Garcia -- Finance Manager
Jose grew up in the car business and started working at Tyler dealerships from a young age. He's been working at Mazda since the dealership opened. Like everyone at the dealership, Jose is Mazda certified, and he also received Ethos Group training. He promotes a customer-focused approach to the sale, financing and servicing of every vehicle that passes through the dealership. Here are some of the things customers say about Jose:
"
Special thanks to Jose for the 'no hassle' buying experience!" - Monica Ballinger
"
Great experience start to finish. Really appreciate all the hard work Jose put into making a deal for me and I'm loving my new car!" - Alyssa Phillips
"
Jose was extremely helpful in getting me the financing I needed and also getting me a warranty that fit my needs. They didn't sell me stuff that wouldn't benefit me like I've experienced in other dealers..." - Justin Pike
"
Finance Mgr. Jose Garcia found me the very best lowest rate and was so nice to speak with. He handled the closing paperwork in a very expeditious and timely manner in under fifteen minutes." - Michael Franks
John Kummerfield -- Product Specialist
John has been working at Velocity Mazda for more than seven months, and he describes it as a cool place to work. John served as infantry in the United States Marine Corps before coming to East Texas. The California native moved to Tyler to attend college.
When you ask him what he likes about working at Velocity Mazda, he says he enjoys working for Camden and he's into racing. He's consistently impressed with Mazda vehicles. He recently bought a 1999 MX-5 because Miata is so fun to drive and its handling is amazing.
Dana Phillips -- Product Specialist
Dana came to Velocity Mazda from another dealership because she saw new challenges and an opportunity for professional growth. She had no idea Mazda vehicles were so solid and luxurious. "They're beautiful cars, now I want one," she laughed. She has her eye on a black CX-5 for its technology, dependability and safety, all of which are especially important to this mother of two children ages 5 and 7.
To Dana, it's important to help people into their next vehicle with no pressure, just support. Like everyone else at the dealership, she describes the environment as calm, easygoing and positive for customers and employees alike.
Brian Davis -- Product Specialist
Brian just started working at Velocity Mazda, but he's already a fan of the vehicles. He says prior to starting his job he didn't realize how well made and technologically advanced Mazdas are. He says from the beginning the dealership emphasized customer service in training. He looks forward to developing one-on-one relationships with each person who walks through the door.
Victor Ortiz -- Product Specialist
This cheerful Tyler native worked in immigration law, but the work was monotonous and he was stuck behind a desk all day. Victor wanted a position where he could interact more with people and says he always wanted to work in the car business. He too believes in what he sells, confidently stating that "Mazda has the best product on the market."
Behind the Scenes -- Owner Camden Jones
Owner Camden Jones is always at work behind the scenes. If you talk to anyone who has bought a car at the dealership, they almost always mention Camden's involvement in reviews like the following:
"
Mr. Jones, the dealership owner has created a close-knit, family-like culture of which you truly become a member with the V on the back of your car..." - Michael Dixon
"
Camden went above and beyond, to sort out every issue we had to ensure we were able to get the perfect car. When an advertisement says a dealer is honest and reputable, this is one you can believe. He obviously sets an example for every employee at Velocity..." - Darlene Wagner
"
...The color my wife was interested in wasn't in stock; however, owner Camden Jones secured what she wanted and it was ready 24 hours later! Mr. Jones stayed personally in touch with me throughout the entire buying process and was 'hands on' to ensure my questions were answered timely and thoroughly, even going so far as to give me his personal cell # - what dealership owner does that?" - Michael Franks
