Testimonials

We hired Jason on very short notice for a new open point KIA store that we had just acquired. Jason successfully hired a complete staff for Sales, Parts and Service and had the store up and running within 45 days. Jason handled all of the marketing, inventory, and factory launch and had us selling 150 cars a month within 6 months.

We had the distinction of being the number one KIA dealer right out of the gate and we became the first Northern California KIA dealership to ever sell 100 New cars a month. (115 in July 2011)

Thanks for getting us off to a great start!

Shaun Del Grande – President, Del Grande Dealer Group

Congratulations on being the first Kia dealer in the Northern California Market to ever sell over 100 new cars in one month (112 New Kia Sales – July, 2011) in the history of Kia after four short months of being in business. It is a real credit to you and your team, and is a truly outstanding effort for which you are to be commended.

At Kuni BMW, we have very high expectations and expect to perform as an elite dealership every day. When I learned about an unfortunate personal issue with our GSM that would restrict his duties for about three months, I knew that I had a big problem. We love our GSM here and knew that we would have him back so finding an expert that could fit our culture for only a short period of time was going to be a problem. We had been a BMW Center of Excellence award winner the previous three years and were in a good position to make it four.

I had worked with Jason Mattia for many years in San Jose growing up in the business together and working side by side. He has also been consulting with us for the previous three years so I knew that if I could get him to come to Portland for a few months we could make it through and not have to sacrifice our level of service or performance.

Jason did a great job of filling our void and spent three and a half months here. He did a great job on the sales desk as well as streamlining a lot of our processes.

We have been in the top five BMW dealerships in the country the last three years and we were better when Jason left us. Kuni BMW will receive our fourth Center of Excellence this year and Jason’s contributions were a big part of us obtaining the award.

I was looking for a special person with crazy skills and I hired Jason.
