Eide Chrysler's Employee of the Month for February 2019

Q: How long have you been at the dealership?

I started at this location in 1998.

Q: What has kept you around for that long?

It's just nice to see our customers around town getting excited about getting the parts they've been waiting for. That's probably my favorite part of this job.

Q: What does it take to be a good parts delivery driver in Bismarck?

Just drive slow with the delivery vehicle! Don't go speeding around. It also helps to avoid the common roads when you're going from point A to B. If there's something wrong, just tell your boss about it. That's it.

Q: What makes Eide Chrysler's parts department stand out?

We've been keeping pretty busy lately. We're doing more work here than other places in town. I think it's the customer loyalty. I see a lot of people coming back to our shop for different things.

Q: You've been at this for more than 20 years. What trends have you noticed in the parts world?

As the technology in our vehicles gets better, the repair shops have needed to adapt. I'm seeing more of the electrical parts being done at the dealership where the car was bought, simply because it takes a highly trained person to work on those types of things.

The electrical/hybrid vehicles are getting interesting here. It seems like those are staying around the franchises more instead of going to the local shops.

Q: What do you do in your free time? 

In my free time I like to collect coins. I'm in the Capital City Coin club. I also collect farm toys and HO-gauge train sets.

My dad and I started a car show in Mott last year. We had 46 cars there in September, and we're hoping to have even more next year.

Q: How did you start a car show?

We have friends from the northern part of the state who enjoy meeting up at shows. When we were all at another show in July, they said it would be nice to have a meet up sometime when it's not so hot outside.

So, my dad and I set up an invite and we got 46 cars together for the first year. It was pretty neat to see them all together on one street in Mott.

We're hoping to have even more this year. Maybe we'll fill up to two streets instead of one.

Mike would like to thank his manager and his coworkers for the nomination.
