Jacques Perreault is a Sales Consultant at Perkins Motors in Colorado Springs and has been here since April 2018 — his entire automotive career. He is the person on the sales floor with the deepest knowledge of electric and hybrid vehicles, and the one most likely to find a creative answer to a complicated situation. In his own words: “I enjoy serving and valuing people through the vehicle-buying process — discovering their needs and wants, helping them understand the vehicles and the purchase options, and using creative, out-of-the-box thinking to find the right fit.”

On why he is here: “I enjoy Perkins for the variety of clientele and the range of vehicles we offer — new inventory that spans high-performance muscle, serious off-road capability, and dependable SUVs and trucks, plus a diverse used selection and the interesting trades that come through the door. I also value an ownership, team, and management that are continually improving.”

And on what a good experience looks like: “Candid, focused, and attentive conversation. Trust, efficiency, and an honest journey.”

Proficient across Stellantis vehicle knowledge — Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat
High proficiency in electric vehicle and hybrid technologies, including the wider EV market

Questions Jacques gets asked

I have a challenged financial situation. Can you help?

“Yes. Bring me the whole picture and let me work on it — a difficult situation is usually a matter of finding the right structure and the right lender rather than a dead end.”

I want an amazing sports car, full of rib-cage-shattering rage. Can you help?

“Yes. That is one of the reasons I like working here — our new inventory runs from high-performance muscle to serious off-road capability, so there is usually something that fits exactly that description.”

I need a strong, capable truck for towing, reliability, and longevity. Can you help?

“Yes. Tell me what you are towing and how often, and I will get you to the right configuration — engine, axle ratio, and payload all matter more than the badge on the tailgate.”

I need a comfortable, capable SUV for my family and my dogs. Can you help?

“Yes. That is one of the most common things I am asked for, and the answer depends on how many rows you need, how much cargo space the dogs take, and whether you want a hybrid or a gas vehicle.”

Can you give me a tour of your used inventory and point out the gems?

“Yes, and that is one of my favorite parts of the job. Interesting trades come through here constantly, and some of the best vehicles on the lot are the ones that do not photograph well online.”

Colorado Springs connection

Jacques, his wife, and their three children moved from New York City to Colorado Springs fourteen years ago, arriving just weeks before the Waldo Canyon fire. They stayed for the mountains, the towns, and the people. As Christians, they worship and serve locally. He has a thorough love of movement — hiking, walking, cycling, sailing, and driving — and particularly enjoys driving in snow and ice, which makes him a useful person to ask about winter capability.

Outside the dealership

Jacques reads theology, history, and technology, and says his most admired people are storytellers. He is a longtime music lover, preferring it without lyrics — jazz especially — and a longtime Deadhead who came up through punk and goth. The favorite vehicle he has ever owned is a 1967 VW Bus: “pure experience. One sits above the front wheels, feet at the headlights — a thoroughly easy and enjoyable kick-back with friends and family.”
