In this first episode of Best in Showroom, EyeQ Monitoring brings viewers inside the story of Victor Silva, Used Car Operations Service Manager at Mercedes-Benz of Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia. Hosted by David Snow and joined by Ken Scheder, Director of Automotive Business Intelligence at EyeQ Monitoring, this conversation explores Silva’s remarkable rise from washing cars to helping lead one of Atlanta’s most recognized Mercedes-Benz dealerships.
