Now is the time to submit your nominations for Discover Rhode Island’s Auto Dealer All-Stars award.
If you’ve done business with a Rhode Island or Southeastern Massachusetts new vehicle dealer, (either as a customer or a vendor) or if you’ve had experience dealing with a specific dealer within the last 12 months, you are eligible to nominate them. You may nominate more than one dealer. Dealership employees are eligible to nominate other employees, but not themselves. Vendors are eligible to nominate also.
Dealer All-Stars will be named in early 2021 and will be awarded by position so please tell us what the person you’re nominating does at the dealership.
We nominate Sean Gebert at Viti Mercedes-Benz in Tiverton Rhode Island. We had previously worked with him when he was at Jake Kaplan’s Land Rover. We’ve found him to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about his product, works very hard, and always returns phone calls. If you are considering a Mercedes-Benz product, we highly recommend Sean.
There’s a guy at the Inskip Lexus dealership, his name is Neil and I think he’s the sales manager. Excellent. I would like to nominate him. And very funny guy too!
David Bordeleau is the best service advisor in the area. We’ve worked with him for years many years, starting over 25 years ago when he was a service manager at the Acura dealership in Newport (I don’t think it’s there anymore). He used to work on my Acura. I also have worked with him at Porsche where he is an absolute gentleman. Very knowledgeable, courteous, has an unbelievable understanding of the tech side of automobiles, and yet knows how to explain it without being condescending (very difficult to do). My wife loved him too. Always felt respected and understood by Dave, and he made sure our cars were perfect before they were returned to us. I nominate him as top service advisor in the Rhode Island area, and highly recommend him!

I recommend/nominate Dave Bordello from Porsche of Warwick. He is the perfect service advisor. Can talk cars with the best of them, but more importantly, knows people and how to talk to them. Always seems to be working late, and goes the extra mile to take care of his customers. Always returns phone calls. Excellent.
Mike Meyer at Saccucci Honda. Manager. Excellent to work with.
Tasca Ford in Cranston. Specifically Carl Tasca. And absolute gentleman. Intelligent, well spoken, respectful. As far as position, I would say he’s the owner (or one of them)?
