Village
Automotive Group is celebrating Dan Warthesen’s 10th year of service with Lexus
of Maplewood.
During his
tenure, he has had nine different positions due to management’s support in
allowing him to reach his professional and personal goals. Dan grew up in the
Metro area and enjoys connecting with people from surrounding communities. He likes being able to serve people he knows,
like his former school teachers.
Most of Dan’s
training has revolved around customer service. He has completed his Lexus Master
certification and has also attended leadership training courses. Dan comments “I
appreciate being able to work alongside role models each day.” Dan has been
able to grow continually by assuming different roles and taking on more
responsibilities. One of Dan’s goals as a manager is to grow the experiences of
those around him by sharing tips on what he has learned in his various
positions at the dealership. Dan sees Village’s greatest strength as, “Being
able to able deliver top notch service to our guests, which is a major perk of
the job.”
Inside Lexus of
Maplewood, Dan has found a fast-paced environment. The dealership leads the
industry in snow removal day through team work that has created an efficient
and refined process. He also enjoys the many events Lexus of Maplewood plans
such as helping at Second Harvest Heartland, attending the Timberwolves Lexus Courtside
Club, going to the Bearly Open event in White Bear Lake and participating in the
New Owner Welcome Clinics and New Vehicle Launch parties. The best community
event Dan has been a part of is the Opus and Olives Event where he enjoyed the
evening because, “It is all about the St. Paul Public Library and raising money
for a good cause. The attendees were community members, publishers, writers,
and bestselling authors.” His favorite team events include attending Twins
games with the store employees which brings everyone together and gives everyone
time to have fun and socialize.
