Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not long after the move, I began my career in the automotive industry. What started as a new opportunity quickly became a passion.

It was Friday and I was on my way from Atlanta to pick up my son from summer camp and my engine began to overheat. I still had 100 miles to go and only a few hours before I had to pick him up. There was no way I was going to make it. I called several repair shops who said they may be able to get to it by Monday. I then called Griffin and told them I needed their help and that I was from out of town. They said bring it in. It was an answer to prayer. They not only repaired my truck that day, but provided me a rental so I could pick up my son on time. I picked up my truck on the way back through Monroe and had no further problems. This team deserves a great deal of credit for handling and resolving my repair issue with timeliness, courtesy and professionalism. I hardly ever post but Kevin and the whole team have my gratitude. Thank you! - 2026-07-26 | 5.0/5 | David G. — Kevin was very friendly and accommodating however after the first visit I had to return as the front passenger tire was missing the master lug nut on it. Not sure if there is a double check system when putting lug nuts back on but maybe something to consider. having to take time out of my weekly schedule is difficult but I had to do it to get it corrected and when I called Kevin to inform him he was again very accommodating and when I arrived, he got me in right away. - 2026-07-20 | 5.0/5 | Barbara A. — Good experience with Kevin. He kept me informed about where my repairs were at. He worked to get me the best price.

I have been married for 26 years and have three awesome sons, two dogs, and one cat. I met my husband while we both worked at Griffin Motor Company during high school. I have made many friends throughout the years and loved my time here with the Griffin family! I have been with the Griffin organization for 32 years. I started as a 16-year-old working in the accounting office and loved the car business from the beginning, especially having the opportunity to work for such a fantastic company. I graduated from Monroe High School and then went to Wingate College, where I obtained a Bachelor in Science degree in Accounting. While attending Wingate, I worked a full-time position at Griffin Motor Company and loved being able to apply my classroom knowledge in a real-life job setting. My position has evolved over the years as the Griffin family has added more dealerships to our organization, and the need arose for a Human Resources Director. During my years working as an accounting clerk and HR employee, I gained my PHR and SHRM-CP certifications. When the office manager of our GM dealership retired in 2016, I had the opportunity to work a dual role as both the HR Director for Griffin Automotive Group and the Controller of Griffin Motor Company. Later that year, we added the Griffin Mitsubishi dealership, and I earned the same role there as well. While it has been very challenging, it has also been a very satisfying step in my career, and I am thankful for the opportunity! ### Amy Mcwhorter - Profile: [https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/amy-mcwhorter](https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/amy-mcwhorter) - Department: Plus (Management) - Title: BDC Manager - Call: (704) 288-0210 Hello!

My name is Peter Fridrich, and I want to welcome you to Griffin Buick GMC of Monroe! I grew up in Chappaqua, NY, and at an early age, I developed a strong passion for cars. During my high school years, I worked in small repair shops and gas stations to fuel that passion. My father was a senior IBM executive, and he encouraged my love for cars as a hobby while I continued to study for my degree in college. One day while in school and working nights at a local pub, my car got stuck at an intersection and I was encouraged by one of the pub’s patrons to repair the car myself. He happened to be an owner of a local collision shop, and he assisted me with the repair operations. I did so well that the owner offered me a job, which I accepted. Years later, I developed that company into a gold standard of collision repair and sold the business to move to North Carolina, to continue my goal of establishing a new car franchise. Throughout my journey, I received opportunities to work for Griffin Motor Company, Allstate Insurance, and Carter International (out of the UK). I have been credited for many accomplishments along the years, including creating one of the most extensive OE collision shop programs that supported luxury brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, and Aston Martin. When I returned from the UK to North Carolina, I built a global clientele for Autohuas Repair Management. Customers brought in super exotic cars for repair from around the world. After lots of success, I eventually sold Autohuas Repair Management to slow down and enjoy life. However, since joining the auto field in 1984, my love for the industry proved to be too strong to quit the business. Therefore, I positioned myself to partner with Macon Griffin in the Buick GMC store right here in Monroe, NC, where I work hard each day as the General Manager, eager to satisfy the needs of our customers, team members, and the community that we proudly serve. I genuinely love what I do and take pride in growing dealerships to their best potential. We look forward to solving your vehicle needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us; we are here to serve you! ### Richard Oskey - Profile: [https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/richard-oskey](https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/richard-oskey) - Department: Plus (Management) - Title: Service Manager - Lifetime vehicles serviced: 8003 - Recent vehicles serviced: 15 - Call: (704) 288-1116 As a service consultant with 23 years of experience, my priority is to maintain a great working relationship with my customers and colleagues.

Customers can depend on me to be honest, fair, accurate, and to fix their vehicle correctly the first time around! My certifications include ASE and being a Top Honors service consultant. I have always loved being around cars, probably because I have grown up watching and helping my dad restore hot rods. My other interests include riding dirt bikes and off-road racing with my kids. Family time with my wife of 23 years and our amazing boys is always the highlight of my days! ### Steve Swonger - Profile: [https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/steve-swonger](https://griffinmonroe.adviserly.com/steve-swonger) - Department: Plus (Management) - Title: Parts Manager - Call: 7042893135 As the Parts Manager at Griffin Buick GMC of Monroe, I am driven by a deep passion for maintaining a well-organized and proficient department that exceeds the expectations of both customers and colleagues alike.
