Hello friends! If you’re new here, it’s because I recently helped a friend of yours purchase a new vehicle and they were happy enough with my level of service they agreed to invite their friends to my page! My name is Dan Drakulich, I was born in Valparaiso, Indiana and I sell cars at Southlake Auto Group in Merrillville, Indiana- home of the lifetime Powertrain warranty for free! I’ve worked at a few dealerships, and seeing how they operate kept me looking for a new job on Indeed. When I see my clients in public, I want them to hug me and be excited to see me and make me look like a hero in front of my wife & daughter😎😎 I’m now at a dealership that 100% backs their product and customers. I recognize that it’s about treating people how you want to be treated, making friends, and solving their problems. I hope I will have an opportunity to meet you and help you when you’re ready for a new vehicle. $150 for a referral bonus if you send a friend!!
