Yama Wahab’s first full month as general manager of Babylon Honda in West Babylon, N.Y., was March 2026, and it produced the store’s best March net profit in more than five years. Over his first six months, according to his form, new car gross rose from $278,069 to $379,404, an increase of more than 35%, and fixed ops gross climbed from $520,661 to $575,187, more than 10%.
Yama has spent more than 15 years in retail auto and held nearly every seat on the way up, from sales consultant to general manager. He now leads a team of 61 and answers for sales, F&I, service, parts and fixed operations. At Millennium Toyota, he helped the store hold the No. 1 profitability ranking inside its auto group for five consecutive years and designed its Manager-in-Training program, promoting nearly every participant into a sales manager or finance manager role.
He coaches at the desk level too. Salesperson Nancy Argueta went from about 16 vehicles a month to consistently more than 20 and became the store’s top salesperson and top gross producer. Yama is a 2024 graduate of the NADA Dealer Academy, Class N426.
