Ever
since Filippo was a small child he was always around the automotive industry.
His father was a General Manager of a Toyota,
Jaguar, SAAB, Honda, Volkswagen and Nissan Dealership; so as a child, Filippo
was always in and out of the dealership. It didn't take long for him to realize
that this was the path he wanted to be on. He loved the industry, admired his
father and knew he wanted to follow in his footsteps. Fresh out of high school,
Filippo began his journey in the automotive industry. He first began in sales,
then service, working his way up to a management position and eventually
becoming the General Manager of a Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, Volkswagen,
and Nissan Dealership.
Filippo
was a General Manager for over 10 years when he met the previous owner's, Chuck
and Romana Primus. After being a
General Manager for them for two years, Filippo was given the incredible
opportunity to carry on their legacy and purchase Whaling City Motors while
maintaining the Whaling
City heritage as the
Dealer Principal of the new Whaling City Auto Group.
Filippo
resides at his home in Rhode Island,
where he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He is committed to
keeping Whaling City a place where customers enjoy their
visits and get the highest level of automotive service. He looks forward to
resuming relationships with our customers and building new relationships as
well. He hopes that with the dedication of his Sales, Service, Parts,
Reconditioning and Collision Repair staff that he will be able to continue to
build the Whaling
City dream. When you love
what you do, it shows, and we want to show you the Whaling City Difference.
