Vladimir Maletta, Used Car Sales Manager

I have worked in the auto industry for 21 years, a combination of Service Manager, Parts Manager, Finance Manager and now Used Car Sales Manager. I've worked with many manufacturers such as Ford, Mercury, Mercedes, Subaru, Suzuki, Volvo, Hyundai and Kia.
I have a goal, and that goal is building business in our community in Northwestern Ontario. Also keeping our business local is very important.
I love working with the public. I find it quite rewarding when I see customers of mine satisfied and to see them happy with their vehicle.
My greatest love is my family especially our newest edition Luca Maletta.
I am happy to be back at Performance Kia as Used Car Sales Manager. It feels like home, and the customers are fantastic to deal with.
