In his role, Hoppe oversees all JM Lexus operations, including new and pre-owned car sales and service operations. He is responsible for leading a team of 345 associates who are focused on innovation and customer service excellence. The dealership, which is known for its world-class customer service, recently became the only Lexus Plus dealership in the southeastern U.S. offering guests negotiation-free pricing in both sales and service.

“With more than 40 years of automotive retail experience, Hoppe has held multiple roles in sales and fixed operations, primarily in South Florida,” Pollock said. “Mark’s reputation in this market is one of exceptional customer service and outstanding leadership. His industry knowledge and commitment to a strong associate culture make Mark an ideal candidate to lead our team of talented JM Lexus associates.”

Hoppe has taken over the reins from Jim Dunn who held the position of vice president and general manager of JM Lexus since 2005.

“It has been a privilege to lead such a world-class organization for the past 13 years, which have truly been the most rewarding time of my life,” said Dunn, who informed the company earlier last year he would be officially retiring from JM Lexus at the end of January 2019.

“We are thrilled Mark has joined us and wish him and his new team great success,” Pollock said.
