Strongest areas: Jeep and Dodge/Chrysler product knowledge, vehicle options and features, and helping customers understand basic financing and monthly payment estimates.

Experience and training

Peter came into the automotive industry in 2022 as a detailer and a lube tech before moving to sales, and joined Perkins Motors in June 2025. Having worked on vehicles before selling them gives him a practical read on condition and maintenance that most sales consultants do not have.

On what he enjoys: “I enjoy meeting new people and learning more about cars. There is absolutely nothing that beats the smile on a customer’s face when they see their new vehicle and have no questions about it.”

And on what makes Perkins Motors different: “The fact that we are a family-owned dealership that will tell you how it is. Instead of looking for the sale, they look at the best way they can help each customer individually.”

Questions Peter gets asked

How do you pronounce your last name?

“Champagne, like the drink.”

Why should I buy from you?

“Because not only do you get the car of your dreams, you get me — someone to help you through the whole process who is only going to be there to help however they can.”

Are you Christian?

“Yes.”

Are you from Colorado?

“Yes, born and raised. My family is all from Jamaica, though, so there were plenty of fun visits back home when I was younger.”

How tall are you?

“6′4″. I tell everyone 6′5″ for the confidence boost.”

What is the one thing you wish customers knew?

“As long as you take care of your car, it will take care of you. Don’t let an underlying issue sit for too long, because then you find yourself fixing your car all the time.”

Colorado Springs connection

Peter was born and raised in Colorado Springs, and says hiking and camping are in his nature as a Colorado native. He has been part of the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP.

Outside the dealership

Outside of work Peter makes music under the name Peta Pete, and plays piano — “not professionally, but I’d surprise you.” Camping and grilling are his favorite way to spend a weekend. On what he wants customers to leave with: “Fun and exciting. All my customers walk away with confidence in their new vehicle, as well as a smile on their face from making a new friend.”
