Kevin Parker’s last day as general manager and managing partner of Garber Chevrolet in Midland was Friday. On Nov. 7, he will officially take the helm of Garber Management Group’s newly acquired group of dealerships in Rochester, New York. Once the decision was made to purchase, it didn’t take long for Dick Garber, Jr., president of Garber Management Group, to tap Parker to manage the new operation. He said Parker immediately came to mind for a number of reasons: His success at Garber Chevrolet, his constant need for a new challenge and his wife’s family ties to Buffalo. Garber currently has dealerships in Michigan, Illinois and Florida, and running the business from afar is a real challenge, said Garber. “Kevin’s leadership has made Garber Chevrolet the most successful dealership in our group, and I have the utmost confidence in his abilities.”
