Tim Dahle, In His Own Words...I worked many hours learning the business from the bottom up, washing cars, sweeping the lot and picking up cigarette butts. I also spent some time in the Service Department changing oil and stocking parts at the dealership. Long before scan guns and computers, we used microfiche to locate parts and hand-wrote repair orders and parts invoices. At 18, I sold my first car at Cline's Datsun. It was a purple Datsun F-10, which was Datsun's first front-wheel drive car. It was such a rush and so much fun. I decided right then and there what my life course would be and I never turned back. I'm fortunate my dad had the same vision for my future as I did. He directed and guided me throughout the process of dealership management and ownership.
