"COACH WES" My time here at Destination Mazda has truly been a rewarding experience both personally and professionally for me. Having customers become friends after investing in a quality Mazda product gives me joy knowing that they have made the right choice in thier vehicle selection. Before making your appointment, you should know a little bit about me. I am the proud dad of Adam, who is with the RCMP; Parker a Uof M student and Spencer who goes to Vincent Massey High. Wanting to be a home builder I entered the Carpentry apprenticeship program at Red River after completing High School. To learn about running a business I entered University and graduated in 1974 majoring in Administrative Studies. Upon graduating I joined the Royal Bank and worked mostly in District Systems and in the Real Estate Resource Divisions were I was introduced to the office furniture world. After six years at the Royal I joined Business Furnishings who was a major player in this field dealing with many large national companies. From here I went on to start my own Office Furniture company called Officeways which I ran successfully for many years. After several years of retirement I had the opportunity to join Destination Mazda in May of 2006. I also joined the Mazda Master Sales Club in 2007 and am on target to do the same this year. I also have coached hockey for 31 years and wish I could golf and fish more than I do. To put it simply, I just try to treat all my customers with respect, fairness, honesty; the way that I would want to be treated. If you want a little Zoom Zoom in your life, call "Coach Wes".

Hi, my name is Aron Heide. Cars have always been my passion. I have worked for Destination Mazda and the Dilawri Automotive Group for nearly 3 years. My life in the Automotive Industry started when I was in High School. I was enrolled in and graduated from the Automotive Program at my High School in Winkler. As soon as I graduated from High School I began to work as a technician in an automotive dealership while studying at Red River College where I became an Interprovincial Licensed Technician. I have worked hard as a technician for many years and I have continued to work even harder as a Service Manager. My wife Barb and I have been happily married for nearly 30 years, together we have 3 daughters, Stacey, Christine, and Michelle. Somehow all five of us still manage to live happily under the same roof. Barb and the girls have been heavily involved in Girl Guides of Canada. While the girls have found other things to get involved in, Barb still manages to find time to stay in Girl Guides as well as volunteer with various charities. Before we had kids, my wife and I purchased a cottage. We continue to build and make improvements on the cottage so we can keep enjoying it for many years to come. In the earlier days, the girls would spend the entire summer up at the lake while I came to visit on weekends and holidays. I have always had a passion for Classic Cars and Trucks. I currently own two Classic Convertibles and one Truck. In my spare time I enjoy restoring these cars back to their original beauty. Working in the Automotive Industry has helped me to grow in many ways. I am constantly meeting new people, making friends, and keeping up with the ever changing technology. I strive to be the best person that I can be. The Dilawri Group has encouraged me to keep growing, and to never be satisfied with average.

Hello, My name is Andy Godfrey. I have been working at Destination Mazda as a service advisor since early 2008. Prior to this I worked for four years as a service advisor and then as a senior advisor at our Toyota dealership at the Waverly Auto Mall, Sunshine Toyota. There are a lot of things that motivate me to come to work every day. The biggest of this is you, the customer. I strive to create and keep a great rapport and maintain a high level of professionalism with all of my customers. "The Dilawri Experience". My journey to the service desk has seen me as a car washer at Sunshine Toyota and then detailing and polishing cars. I even went as far as to become a sales consultant within the group. After earning my sales permit I decided providing great after sales service was a greater passion for me than selling. I hope to remain in the Dilawri group and eventually work my way up to Service Manager and after a while to fixed operations manager for the group. I feel that with lots of hard work and a history of providing excellent service to my customers I will get there - with your help. I look forward to meeting you or seeing you again, Andy Godfrey Service Advisor

My name is Dennis Flack, the parts manager at Destination Mazda. I first started with the Dilawri Group on October 28th, 2002, as a parts advisor for both Crown Acura and Sunshine Toyota. I had no previous experience, I must say, it certainly had it's challenges; but I think that's when I started to enjoy this job. There was so much to learn, in this line of business there are always changes. This keeps it interesting and isn't so repetitive. I had no intention of becoming a parts manager when I first started as a parts advisor. As time went on, I knew that this was something I really enjoyed doing and could see myself doing this for the rest of my life. In April 2007, I was given the opportunity to become the parts manager at Destination Mazda. This position requires you to be very organized and efficient; otherwise you wouldn't be able to keep up. Many people do not get excited or look forward to going to work. I can honestly say that I do. It's really important to love what you do otherwise it's pretty hard to get up in the morning. I really enjoy interacting with people and it's a great feeling to be able to help. I understand people's needs and I treat people with respect, the way that I would want to be treated. This has gotten me to where I am today. I really enjoy working at Destination Mazda. It's like a small family, we all get along and everyone knows everyone very well. We have a lot of fun at work and that makes for a good environment to be in. We are a small dealership that is growing very fast and it is great to be a part of that.
