Here’s what a Metro Area New Car Dealer has to say about Car People of Oregon

“I hired my long term General Manager through Car People to oversee my large auto group. A year later I hired a top General Sales Manager for 
my flagship store.  Since then I  have hired my Corporate Controller,  my most successful Service Manager and many office, service, parts, body shop
 and sales/finance management people.  Car People is thorough in checking a person's work history and references.  As an applicant for a new job you 
should be honest  with them. If you are they will help you get interviews as jobs open in the best dealerships in this area.“

(The GM retired and the GSM is now the GM over the entire Auto Group. He's been there since 1991. The Controller is still with the Auto Group.)
