ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 13, 2010 – Paul Mullane, President of Mullane Motors, Inc., a Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealership in Lockport, N.Y., was named the TIME Magazine Dealer of the Year from New York.
Mullane was chosen to represent the Niagara Frontier Automobile Dealers Association in the national competition. The award is sponsored by TIME Magazine in association with Goodyear, and in cooperation with NADA.
“I am very proud to be a fourth-generation automobile dealer,” says Mullane. “Our family has been selling and servicing automobiles in Niagara County, New York, since the 1920s. I literally grew up in the auto business.”
Mullane graduated from DeSales Catholic High School in Lockport, NY, in 1978, then earned a BBA in Management and Automotive Accounting at Northwood University in Midland, MI, in 1981. Says Mullane, “I knew exactly what I wanted to do at a very young age, and when I found out there was a school that specialized in training auto dealers, there was no doubt where I was going to attend college.”
Straight out of Northwood, Mullane went to work for Toyota Charlotte for a year, before returning to Lockport and the family-run Mullane Motors. “When Chrysler came out with their current Five Star requirements, our dealership became the second dealership in the USA to receive this honor,” says Mullane.
