Brooker honored by Automotive News

Fremont Motors owner Phil Brooker has been honored by the Automotive News in their first 40 under 40 list.

The Scottsbluff Ford-Lincoln dealership had a miserable reputation and only five employees when Fremont Motors bought it three years ago. Now the dealership has 33 employees, sells 20 to 30 new new vehicles and 30 to forty used vehicles a month, and is the highest volume Ford-Lincoln outlet in the region over the last two years.

Brooker says it is a team effort involving his workers and the community.

Brooker says when a tornado hit the dealership in 2010 they were just getting their feet on the ground and it forced a remodel of the dealership a little early. He says he will never be able to thank the community enough for all their support during that difficult time.
