Nick Contey
President |
Bio: With over 30 years experience, Nick knows first hand what it takes to become successful in the automotive equipment industry. Throughout his career, Nick has recognized important ideas and has worked to implement them at First Choice. Vital concepts such as customer service and satisfaction, repeat business, The Choice Alignment, and an internal service department, have separated First Choice Automotive Equipment from the competition.
In the mid-1970's, Nick started his career as a mechanic for a 10 bay service garage. After gaining experience in the field and working for that company for about 5 years, Nick moved on to a popular automotive parts business, starting there as a counterman. During the ensuing 14 years, Nick gained a great deal of hands-on experience in the equipment industry, including comprehensive sales, marketing, and management skills. Nick also accelerated himself through the business, eventually becoming a partner for the three-store operation. Nick saw more opportunity in the trade and wanted to make his own impact on the automotive equipment industry. So in 1996, he started First Choice Equipment. While adhering to its high values, the ever-expanding company has been consistently delivering quality products and important techniques to its customers and the automotive service industry.
