Controller
Holm Automotive Center Inc

I grew up in the huge city of Delphos KS and graduated from Minneapolis High School. After graduating from Bethany College, I worked as a CPA for Ernst & Young in KC and then as a controller for Stentofon Communications and Reliable Automotive. I have enjoyed working at Holm Auto since 2001. My wife Shelly (high school sweetheart) and I like watching our 3 daughters; Tori, Taylor, and Turner play an assortment of sports. In my pastime I am an avid golfer, occasional fisherman, and enjoy a love/hate relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs. I love still being in North Central Kansas. It's great to work for such a progressive and professional dealership with such great employees!

My Review Of Holm Automotive Center Inc :

I had a vehicle that I had purchased from another dealer 18 months prior and was very disatisfied with it. I got my cousin Dar's number from his mom and gave him a call to see if they still had any of the vehicles still on the lot that I had seen on line and he said that they did and if I wanted to come down and have a look that he could set me up with one of the sales people. I went down the next day and was introduced to Ross Taplin. Ross knew which vehicles that I was interested in and was ready to go when I got there. There was no pressure put on me to buy even during the test drive(I can't stand that) but I had already made up my mind to buy the black F-150 that I test drove. I will defintitely be back when I'm ready to purchase another vehicle. Ross hope you move up in the company but I'm dragging you back down to the sales floor when I'm ready for another vehicle. Great people and great service.

My Review Of Holm Automotive Center Inc :

Nita and I have purchased or leased seven vehicles (5 Cadillac's and 2 trucks) from Holm's since 2000. The staff has always been friendly and helpful during that time. We have also recommended them to many of our family and friends both for buying or servicing their cars.
The staff in Sales, Parts, Body Repair and the Office are exceptionally qualified at their jobs as well as friendly. Even the staff we have not worked with directly call us by our first names and greet us each time we go to the dealership. We appreciate them so much that Nita takes them homemade goodies for the staff to enjoy as a small token of our respect and appreciation for the great work they do.
On one occasion, we were taking a family member back to Colorado with her infant child. We discovered that the seat belt being used for the infant was not functioning properly. We called the Service Department and told them the problem. We,of course, were on a schedule and needed to get in, have the repair made and get out as quicly as possible. When Jamie and Chuck saw that the seat belt repair would take longer than we could allow,they immediately put us into a comparable car, filled it with gas and sent us on our way, while the repair was made. Upon our return, the problem had been solved.
On another occasion, I was driving home from work and hit a skunk. The smell was horrific. I called the Service Department the next day and Jamie said bring it in right away. Within a short period of time the car was returned. It smelled like a new car. Well...... the next week my wife hit a skunk on the way home to work with our other car. The same patient voice answered the call and took care of the same problem with the same expediency. We all had a good laugh and wondered what were the chances of that ever happening again. Fortunately, it has not!
These are two of the many wonderful experiences we have had. Eric has been amazing at finding the cars we wanted to purchase and lease, no matter how far he has to go to search for them. Eric, Pat, Tim and Chris make it possible for us to get the best financial deal. Brad in Parts and B.J. in the Body Shop, Pam and Darwin in the office are outstanding.
We really appreciate the family atmosphere at Holm's, but also appreciate the competent staff, who it seems can do most anything with vehicles for their customers. We highly recommend the dealership to all our friends and have many, who have had similar positive experiences. Tim's motto for the dealership, is "Come to Holm Automotive... you'll be glad you did". He certainly is right. We ARE glad we did!
