Dimmitt Automotive Group is pleased to announce important additions to the Company’s management team as it sharpens its focus on optimizing the consumer experience for customers in its northern service areas.
Joe Petrillo has assumed the role of General Manager of Village Cadillac Toyota, located in Homosassa FL off US 19. The Dimmitt executive committee is also pleased to announce Don Fortier as the dealership’s new General Sales Manager. Together with Parts and Service Director of Operations Jerome George, this new leadership team brings over 100 years of collective automotive experience to the Village Toyota team.
Joe Petrillo joined the Dimmitt Automotive Group in May 2018 as the General Manager of Audi Wesley Chapel and has 38 years of experience in automotive retailing. He has represented brands such as Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Honda, and Dodge during his automotive career and brings a unique luxury experience to better service the Village Cadillac Toyota community, located just minutes from Spring Hill, Ocala, and Hernando. “The guest experience is the most important aspect of our business. Our focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience is the key to long term success,” says Petrillo, who enjoys spending time with his wife Desiree, four children, and 3 grandchildren and is a member of the Southern Hills Golf Club in Brooksville.
Don Fortier brings over 45 years of industry experience in both sales and service, with experience in brands such as Cadillac, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Nissan, Lincoln, and Mercury. He resides locally with close ties to the community and previously operated a dealership in Brooksville for several years, now enjoying reconnecting with those same guests visiting him at Village Toyota. “I treat my guests as I would my own family,” says Fortier, who has raised three children and now enjoys his time as a grandfather to two girls.
Petrillo and Fortier have joined forces with Dimmitt veteran Jerome George, Parts and Service Director of Operations, who has over 20 years of parts and service experience, 16 of those with the Dimmitt family of dealerships. “My philosophy is building customers for life,” says George, and his reputation is evident among the dealer group. His team has ranked #1 in customer satisfaction with Southeast Toyota three years running.
The Dimmitt Automotive Group has been a namesake in the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for over 90 years, and legacy, luxury, and history are embroiled into the Dimmitt name. In addition to three Cadillac locations, Aston Martin, Audi, McLaren, Bentley, Land Rover, Rolls- Royce, and Toyota, the group recently added Jaguar to its brand roster. “We never stop working to improve the consumer experience,” states Scott Larguier, Dimmitt Automotive Group’s CEO, “welcoming Joe and Don to our Village Toyota management team is just another way for us to elevate the standard and provide our Toyota and Cadillac customers with a truly exceptional experience.”
