After beginning my career in the BDC department and growing into sales, I discovered that what I enjoy most is building genuine relationships and earning the trust of my customers. I believe the car-buying experience should feel personal, seamless, and exciting, and I take pride in making every customer feel valued and confident in their decision. My goal is not simply to help someone find their next vehicle, but to become someone they know they can trust for years to come. Outside of the dealership, I enjoy fitness, hiking, traveling, music, and spending time with my family and my cats. I look forward to meeting you and making your next vehicle purchase an experience you’ll feel good about from start to finish.

Hi there! I’m Jeff Purcell, the Commercial Truck & Fleet Manager here at Thorson. I’ve been part of the team since 2003 and specialize in GMC and Isuzu Commercial Trucks. I’m originally from the Inland Empire and graduated from UC Riverside with a degree in Business Administration. When I’m not working, you can usually find me out on the golf course—it’s one of my favorite hobbies and my handicap is improving! I look forward to helping you out!

I started my career in the parts department and worked my way up through the industry, eventually becoming a Service Advisor. That experience gave me the opportunity to assist the Service Manager, learn the leadership side of the business, and continue growing in my career. Through hard work, dedication, and the support of great people along the way, I was blessed with the opportunity to become a Service Manager. I truly enjoy what I do, but outside of work, my favorite place to be is on a baseball field watching my son play. Those weekends at the ballpark are something I look forward to and cherish. I’m proud to be part of Thorson Motor Center. To me, we’re more than just coworkers—we’re a family. I’m grateful to be part of a team that works together, supports one another, and takes pride in taking care of our customers.
