Chances are if you call us you’ll be speaking to Scott, or you may have seen one of his cameo appearances in our TV commercials. Scott is one of our service advisors, the folks who you speak with when you drop your car for service, and the ones who call you with the good news.
Scott is originally from Massachusetts (and we’ll never let him forget it:-)) but has family roots here in Maine. He is a Chevrolet Corvair and snowmobile buff. Scott and his wife Kendra keep busy with their two young boys. His wife is an equestrian trainer and judge, and travels to horse shows throughout the Northeast. We’re delighted to have Scott onboard!
If you’ve visited us, chances are you’ve spoken with Nancy. She is our Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) and handles the follow up calls after service, sends out the delicious brownies for our new customers and referrals, confirms appointments, and generally keeps everything in order.
You may have noticed the artwork on the walls of the waiting room, Nancy handles all aspects of the art display program with local artists, if you’re interested in displaying your artwork here, by all means, give her a call. Ever ready with a happy smile, and cheerful attitude, we are very grateful to have Nancy as part of the Atlantic Motorcar team.

Nick handles a good part of our BMW, Mini and Mercedes car work. He is a highly trained tech, and is exceptionally dedicated and precise in his workmanship. Aside from BMW and Mercedes, Nick has become the designated go to guy for some of the more vexing BMW service problems we’ve discovered, including some interesting X3 and X5 issues.

Todd was our all around, take on any challenge and win guy. Rumor has it that he’s now retired to an comfy and warm island off the coast of Georgia, but we hold out hope that he’ll leave that life of leisure and return to his roots.
No flashy toolbox here, Todd’s best tools are in his head, vintage Mitchell service manuals and years of experience. We still quote his trusty tagline which he uttered when faced with a challenge or unusual car, the timeless classic of “Nuts and bolts.” We miss you old man, but and have kept the porch light, or is that service light, on for you.
Those funny boxes with the video screens, what we call computers, and we have a lot of them at the Atlantic Motorcar Center – current count is 16, will soon be in the purview of our good friend Adam.
Be they Apple or PC, Windows or Mac OS, they are but child’s play to Adam, who is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Adam K, a mild mannered IT guy by day, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the Atlantic Way…
We’re growing, and the Atlantic Motorcar Center is always interested in meeting talented and dedicated people. We offer an environment in which to learn and grow professionally and personally. In today’s world we often spend as much time with our co-workers as we do with family, our business is unique in that we offer our staff a home away from home.
