Gregg started in the industry in 2001 as a washing attendant after his career in minor league baseball got cut short. In 2007, Gregg came to be with the Tonkin dealerships and eventually made his way to the General Management position at Ron Tonkin Kia; where he is now. Gregg spends his free time with his beautiful wife Brandy and their five wonderful kids. The family enjoys backpacking in the mountains and bowhunting. The Whiteakers pride themselves on being able to provide food for their family through hunting and being able to share the experience and the stories with their children. Gregg also prides himself on being involved in wildlife conservation with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.

So, you got an amazing deal, but it “feels scammy?” And you reviewed people on here with 1 star that you have never met? How bout this, you show me anything from us in writing that says we were going to take another $175 off the car when it was already the cheapest car around and I’ll make sure you get your $175. As for our customer service, we are ALWAYS one of the best in the whole district. The BBB complaint you filed after the last purchase you had shows that no good deed goes unpunished. That was also an amazing deal and you were unhappy again. We wish to continue our amazing history in customer service but with that, we also realize we can’t please everyone. Someone who continues to seek out the cheapest vehicle in the area, and then trashing the company because you didn’t get “just a little extra” off is a battle we cannot win. , and treating my staff rudely was the the icing on this cake Gregg Whiteaker General Manager gwhiteaker@tonkin.com
