Courtesy marks 20 years in Las Vegas

For Courtesy Auto Group, it's been 20 years since the doors opened at Courtesy Oldsmobile on West Sahara Avenue.

Today, the Courtesy Auto Group consists of Courtesy Imports in the Valley Auto Mall and Courtesy Auto Center, which also includes Courtesy Mazda, in the Centennial automotive corridor in northwest Las Vegas.

"We're grateful to be here," said Harold Drezner, general manager of Courtesy Auto Center in Centennial Hills. "At times, it doesn't seem possible it's been 20 years since we opened Courtesy Oldsmobile on West Sahara. The time has just flown by. We've been privileged to grow with this city and with the people of the Las Vegas Valley."

Echoing Drezner's remarks is Jim Mooradian, general manager of Courtesy Imports in the Valley Auto Mall, which features Mazda, Suzuki, Kia and Mitsubishi. "It's been fun to be a part of this community. We've built our business over the past 20 years by taking care of the great people here."

Both Drezner and Mooradian have worked hard to ensure the business grew and prospered, with new dealerships built, relocated or renovated.

Soon after its start in 1989, Courtesy quickly became one of the valley's most recognizable and well-established brands. "We've always focused on the customer," said Drezner. "When someone comes into one of our dealerships, we're absolutely committed to finding that person the right car at the right price with the lowest possible payment. We want our customers to drive away satisfied. And when they do, that defines success to us."

Mooradian said: "We've built on our past success and we're well-positioned to grow in the future. We do understand the difficulties our market has faced and will continue to face. Yet, we seen things improving in the future and we're committed to the long-term success of the people here. We look forward to handling their automotive needs now and for years to come. Actually, right now is a great time to buy a car."

Both Drezner and Mooradian started in automotive sales and have been an integral part of Courtesy's growth over the past 20 years. Today, they are both general managers with the kind of experience that allows them to successfully manage their teams and deliver new and preowned automotive solutions to their customers. Both locations feature an extensive inventory of used vehicles.
