Les spent 2 years in the auto industry in Winnipeg managing his own used vehicle operation. When he relocated to Toronto, he was offered a position at Evans Ford Lincoln in sales and after a very short time decided that his specialty would be helping customers purchase or lease pre-owned vehicles. He has been our top overall sales performer for the past 3 years and his day is spent providing vehicles for people that range in price from $100 to $50.000

Ask any of the sales staff what they hear Les say and it would be………….. “I love selling cars, I could never imagine being a manager again. Working directly with the customer is not only what I do but also its fun. Everyday is different, what better job could there be?”

Les’s passion is automobiles and boats. When he isn’t seen helping customers with a new or used vehicle purchase you can find him spending his weekends relaxing on his boat in Orillia.

Rod came to Evans Ford Lincoln in 2003 after a successful career with Cruickshank Motors in Weston. Over his career at both Cruickshank and Evans he has been able to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and customer retention. Last year Rod was presented by the dealership with the prestigious CSI award for having the highest overall Customer Satisfaction Index in sales for the dealership for 2007. With Evans Ford Lincoln placing so much focus on customer satisfaction this award is one of our hardest to win.

Rod's a busy man these days when he is not at work, he is spending time with a family construction business, 6 children, and his heavy involvement in his church and business community. If you are looking for a soloist for your church he might be the man. He is also a permanent fixture at the annual Caribana parade event proudly driving and displaying one of our Ford or Lincoln products.

Financial Services / Business Manager
Evans Ford Lincoln

9 Years

Mini spent 8 years in financial services at Cruickshank Motors in Weston where her honesty, integrity, and efficiency made her a consistent member of Ford’s Society of Professional Sales Managers. Prior to entering the car business she had a dream of working in and managing her own Hair Salon and after 8 years at Cruickshank she left to pursue her ambition. After 10 successful and rewarding years in the salon business she realized that her love of the auto industry and more specifically financial services was her true passion and had never really left her, so in the winter of 2008 after meeting with the general sales manager she was coaxed back and joined our Evans Ford Lincoln team.

When not immersed in a good book her spare time is spent with her friends and her grown son. And as you would expect with a “True People Person”, when not at work you can find her dancing, traveling to exciting locales, or enjoying a fine meal and the company of good friends.

Happily married and father of 4

President & General Manager
Evans Ford Lincoln, Auto Credit, Big M Leasing

29 years

With Evans Ford Lincoln being a family run business, Dave came to the company at a young age learning the entire operation from the ground up. If you ask him was there a department he did not work in to understand the people and the customers the answer would be no.

When Dave assumed his role of president and general manager he set out to make the buying, leasing, and service experiences of his customers the best in the country, and after receiving numerous awards for Customer Satisfaction, Customer Retention, and Customer Loyalty all you have to do is take one visit to his dealership and you can see his vision.

As with most fathers of 4 when Dave’s not at work it’s off to one type of practice, sport, or function with one or all of his children. When he does have spare time after juggling work and home you can run into him on the slopes at Craigleith Ski Club in Collingwood.
