Tom Castriota, Managing Partner at Castriota Chevrolet and current NADA Chair, knows a thing or two about relationships. The U.S. Marine Corps veteran has been a long-term fixture in the industry, known for community engagement and taking care of his customers. Tom explains how his relationship with GMF and its alignment with GM initiatives has helped his store see increased market share and a more profitable future.
Jack Weidinger, President of North Bay Cadillac and Cadillac Dealer Co-Chair, is all in on Cadillac. With the Escalade IQ coming in 2025, plus dozens of EVs across GM’s portfolio, Jack’s position as a top Cadillac dealer adviser means he’s laser-focused on GMF and Cadillac Financial supporting a growing EV lineup that he and many others have invested heavily in. For Jack, that means doubling down on lease.
As the only captive to utilize the NADA Dealer Survey, it’s GMF’s mission to listen to dealer feedback. Owners and general managers receive the survey from "NADA Chairman" quarterly and, unlike similar surveys, ours only takes about four minutes to complete. This issue of Dealer Insider features three perspectives about how we use the results to help dealers navigate changing market conditions.
