About Sarah-Jane Finlay

I have gained over 30 years experience within the FCA Chrysler automotive world and what a privilege. They say when you get into the automotive industry it's so hard to get out when you are submerge within .Who would want to get out. There is never a day that’s the same; you have the opportunity to meet all kinds of people that can be teachers, those you can mentor at the same time and being able to make a difference.Being a service manager is very rewarding. Overseeing the daily operations of the service department with all the moving parts, the various personalities, being a part of bringing it together successfully and profitable for the whole team is a great feeling.Having a positive attitude, knowing when to ask questions and having an open mind has had a great impact in my success.I’m grateful to all who have supported me over the years. Plan the work, then work the plan.
