DJ Kowalk, 39, finished 2025 with 250 sales as a sales professional at Team One Chevrolet Buick GMC in Charlotte, Mich., and says his customer satisfaction score stayed near 100 for the full year. His road to the sales floor went through a chassis shop. He spent five years in custom chassis service at Spartan Chassis in Charlotte, then 2.5 years in Afghanistan working on fire trucks, then seven years in RV sales before moving to cars in 2021.
Away from the store, he has logged 396 contact hours volunteering with Junior Achievement of Michigan, walking students through what buying and owning a car actually involves so they know more than he did at that age. He is also a member of the Rotary club in Charlotte and helps host and raise money for community events.
“Customer satisfaction has always been my top focus.”
