    Eric Bjorgaard

    General Manager

    I’ve been in the car business since 2000 and with Metropolitan Ford since 2003. In my time here at Metropolitan Ford, I have been a Finance Manager, Used Car Manager, New Car Manager, and General Sales Manager before becoming the General Manager in 2018 when my boss, Jack Dennen, retired. He was with the company for over 35 years as well. All that is just to say, this is a great company and our employees tend to stay here for a very long time which is very rare in the automotive business. We take great care of our employees so they can in turn take even better care of our customers for life! We appreciate you trusting us with the huge decision of where to spend your hard-earned money to both buy a vehicle and to service or repair it! If you ever have an issue at the dealership, do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. While we strive for perfection, everyone knows that is an impossible goal to hit. So, when things don’t go 100% right, I am here to listen and want the feedback so we can continually improve the experience of all of our customers whether it be for a new or used vehicle purchase, or simply an oil change in the QuickLane.
