Olympic Auto Group, a multi-location Automotive, Marine and Recreation dealer group in Canada and the US, is pleased to announce the addition of two top Industry leading veterans to the Olympic team.

“The stars have aligned, and I couldn’t be more thrilled, energized, and ready for this opportunity with Olympic.” Klopak stated. The Olympic teams drive toward becoming the industry leader in Customer Service, Reputation, and Market Share is what I want to be a part of.”

“I couldn’t be happier to be joining the Olympic team.” Michelle mentioned, “The opportunity to once again play a role in introducing more people to the great outdoors is what gets me most excited! Whether that be in a boat cruising or fishing, ripping tricks on a Seadoo, off-roading on an ATV or dirt bike, or touring on a snowmobile, all of it puts a big smile on my face!”

The Olympic Group continues to be a leader in customer experience and client satisfaction. As the Olympic Group continues to grow, the important additions of Andrew and Michelle will enhance current operations and develop strategic growth opportunities.
