Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I grew up in a small town in New York just outside of Manhattan. I began my journey with cars in 1988 pumping gas and doing oil changes.I then was introduced to autobody work by a friend and later attended vocational school. I continued to excel in my trade. I started an Autobody & Reconditioning business . In 1991 I moved to Manchester NH. I later grew from an outside tent to my first shop. I continued this through 2007. In 2008 I took over a failing Dealership in Hooksett Nh and turned it into a million dollar a year business. In 2017 My wife and I made the decision to move on. I had a Great relationship with Merchants Auto and was asked to come aboard.I gladly accepted. What a great company to work for ! I am very proud to be a part of such a well oiled machine. I love my job a will always look to exceed my customers expectations. I look forward to working with you

"The sales rep was amazing!!!"
- Psmith1052I went in to this dealership with low expectations do to pass credit. But my sales rep Gene was absolutely phenomenal he went above and beyond to get what I needed at the price I needed it at, at the conclusion I got an amazing warranty a perfect car for my family and I felt like we were family by the end of the sale Gene was very welcoming was honest and upfront. I would highly recommend going there overall but if you can get Gene as your sales rep it will be worth the wait .

"Great Used Vehicles!"
- cheryl70My husband and I need a new vehicle quickly and we decided to go to Merchants to see what they had, we left with a 2016 Ford Escape. Our salesman was Gene and he was great to deal with. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. There was no pressure, and he was a straight shooter, just the facts. The loan process was easy and fast. I will be buying my next car from them!

"Great Experience"
- mspenglerMy salesman Gene Cocchiarella made it a very pleasant experience, all though I was very anxious about the situation he made me feel better by being extremely paitent with me in dealing with all the financial paperwork of getting me approved for credit, I would definitely recommend Merchant for anyone .

"Buy From Merchants ask for Gene - You will be Glad you did!!"
- LisaHave been researching & shopping for a couple of months with very unpleasant experiences UNTIL I arrived at MERCHANTS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP Saturday June 9, 2018. Gene Cocchiarella went above & beyond to help me find the car of my dreams that I could afford -2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited. This was by far the Absolute, Hands-Down, BEST Car Shopping Experience I Have Ever Had in My Life!!! He was genuine, patient, attentive, and with a smile he showed me exactly what I told him I was looking for from the start. Gene did not waste my time showing me anything else. He never tried to "sell" me a car. He walked the lot with me looking at cars, test driving several, discussing the pros and cons, answering all of my questions with a smile until I finally made my decision. Not only was this experience 100% stress free, it was actually enjoyable. THANK YOU GENE!!!

"Extra Mile"
- Mayhem15To start Gene is way more then just a salesman being a first time car buyer he helped me lose the overwhelming feeling, he also went above an beyond to go the extra mile to help me out. Now the Merchants Auto as a whole has been a great experience they never stopped reaching out to me. An most importantly they care. If you are looking for a vehicle stop by Merchants they have a little something for everyone!
