Chip Palid
General Sales Manager
Welcome to Brecht BMW's website where it is my pleasure to introduce the men and women who comprise our family of sales professionals. As General Sales Manager, I strongly believe in the "customer-for-life" guiding principle. We aren't interested in just selling or leasing you a car today. We want your buying experience to be so positive that you will think of Brecht for all your future vehicle needs. That means we need to have "employees-for-life" -professionals whose sole commitment is total customer satisfaction. I believe we have the people in place to bring you the premium-luxury buying experience you deserve.
