Experience and training
Lisa has ten years in the automotive industry, previously in sales and service business development roles and as a cashier. She joined Perkins Motors in October 2025 as Rental Manager.
On what makes Perkins Motors different: “The main thing is how much everyone is comfortable with one another. The advisors in service and the BDC get along better than at any dealership I have worked at.” And on what she enjoys: the people she works with in service, and helping customers any time they need a vehicle.
Questions Lisa gets asked
When does my deposit go back on my card?
“Three to five business days, once the rental is closed out.”
Where do I return my rental or loaner?
“Drive it into the service department and we will take it from there.”
What is the one thing you wish customers knew?
“Not every problem can be solved in a day. I would rather set a realistic expectation than a convenient one.”

Outside the dealership
