Hi! My name is Rhonda and I have enjoyed helping folks buy new cars for over 20 years!  Growing up in the car business I guess it was fate.  I’ve loved it right from the start.  At twelve years old I got my first job at the family business, an auto auction, as a clerk for the auctioneer.  I loved the fast pace and excitement of the auction venue.  At 17 I was asked if I could fill in for a salesperson at a local dealership for one month.  Although I did not yet have much experience and was a bit nervous about the whole idea of selling one on one to people, I sold 33 cars and was immediately offered a full time position.  I never looked back!  I went on to owning my own used car store at just 24 years old.  I’ve since sold my business and have been fortunate enough to join an amazing family here at Milnes Ford.  I truly look forward to going to work every day.

I like helping people buy cars because it is so rewarding to know you are helping someone improve their daily life.  Not everyone buys a new car for the sake of doing so.  My most memorable experience was a woman that came to see me and said she had been all over and no one could help her buy a car.  She was using public transportation to take her 80 year old father to dialysis three days a week.  She was so distraught.  At that moment I had no idea how I was going to do it but I promised her I would help her.  Two days later she drove home in her new car.  She was so happy we both cried.  Just having that new car literally improved the quality of life for her and her family.  I have many stories quite similar to hers and this is why I sell cars.

I have an incredible young man in my life and, when he’s not in pre-school, he too believes he sells cars at Milnes!  His name is Justin and he often visits the dealership in his little work shirt and name tag ready to greet the wonderful folks that come through the door.  I also enjoy everything to do with photography and cooking and just making the most out of life!

I really look forward to meeting you and your family as well!

Hello everyone my name is Aaron Leonard! I currently reside in Davison and I graduated from Lakeville High School class of 2004. Since finishing high school, I have been involved in automobile customer service! That’s over 10 years of experience! I started out as a porter cleaning cars and arranging vehicles on the lot as well as doing all the minor chores involved with a dealership. Within a couple of years I had been promoted to clean-up supervisor where I was in charge of making sure all of the new/used/service/body shop details were taken care of properly. After nearly 8 years at that dealer, I left to take a job doing body work and detailing at Milnes Ford. Within a year at Milnes Ford I had been promoted to sales, and here I am today! Since moving to sales, I have been heavily involved in the local communities. With the help of Ford, Bruce Milnes, and my co-workers I have been collaborating drive 4 ur school events and Drive 4 ur community events for the past 2 years. This has given us the opportunity to give back to the community and schools in the form of funding for necessary projects.
