Dealer Education That Drives Trust – Why Central Vermont Auto Mart Stands Out
🚗 Dealer Education That Drives Trust
🛠️ Industry Connections That Keep Us Sharp
- Legal and regulatory requirements
- Changes in financing related to auto loans
- Best practices in customer service, compliance, and sales
- Evolving technology in used vehicles and dealership operations
🎓 A Dealership Led by Experience and Next-Gen Leadership
Our founder, Mitchell Jay, brings decades of hands-on automotive experience and a deep-rooted passion for raising industry standards. His leadership goes far beyond Central Vermont Auto Mart-he has proudly served as:
-
Treasurer of VADA (Vermont Vehicle and Automotive Distributors Association)
-
President of VADA for 3 years
-
State Director for Vermont with the National Auto Dealers Association (NADA) for 5 years
These roles have allowed Mitchell to advocate for Vermont dealerships on state and national policy, while continuously pushing for customer-first practices across the industry.
Carrying that legacy forward is Mitchell's daughter and our current General Manager, Jessica Gore. Jessica is a graduate of the prestigious NADA Dealer Academy-a program designed to develop the next generation of automotive leaders.
The NADA Dealer Academy offers in-depth training in:
-
Financial and operational best practices
-
Leadership and team development
-
Inventory management and service operations
-
Regulatory compliance and ethics
-
Enhancing the customer experience from every department
Jessica brings that comprehensive training to life at Central Vermont Auto Mart every day-applying her skills to improve dealership operations, empower our team, and provide a higher standard of service to every customer.
Together, Mitchell and Jessica blend decades of experience with modern training and innovation, making Central Vermont Auto Mart a dealership grounded in tradition and built for the future.
📚 Why Education Matters for You
Dealer education doesn't just help us-it helps you. The courses, panels, and workshops offered by NIADA and VADA ensure that our dealership:
-
Follows the latest compliance standards
-
Uses finance and inventory tools that simplify your purchase journey
-
Maintains ethical, customer focused practices throughout the sales process
In short? We stay informed, so you stay protected, while presenting information to you in an easy-to-understand sales and delivery process of your next used car.
