My
name is Mike Weiland, I have been with Archie Cochrane Ford for over 19 years.
I came from a background in public school education. I received my degree in
education from Northern Montana College in Havre, Montana. I graduated and
moved to Billings back in 1993. I had the privilege of teaching Math and
Science in Shepherd, Montana for seven years. During that time, I also
sold vehicles on different evenings and on the weekends for a local automobile
dealership. After those seven years, I decided to focus 100% on the automotive
side.
During my time at Archie Cochrane Ford I started on the sales floor for a few
years and was asked to develop the internet side of the dealership. Working on
the computer side of Archie Cochrane Ford gave me the opportunity to network
the dealership and start several different websites. At this time, I truly
discovered what was to come in the automotive business.
Being the Internet Manager for years gave me the opportunity to think about
what customers really wanted. From my experience, it was simple: Customers want
to be treated right, know that they receive a fair price, and they simply want
all the information in front of them to make a confident decision in buying from
a dealer. I believe that Archie Cochrane Ford has done a pretty good job of
doing just that. Just a few years back, you couldn't even fill out a credit
application online to get the ball rolling. Now, you can work your car deal
without even having to see the dealer. With our dealership, you can also select
a salesman by reading through their bio pages. Customizing your sales process
to the way you want to be treated is exactly what I want to provide you (our
customer) with. With all the information provided by our dealership, customers
know that they are receiving a super deal and our staff is trained to provide
anything else that our customers may have questions about.
I am very proud to have been able to lay down the groundwork for this
experience. There are now others that are able to provide this experience for
all our customers in our store.
My job has now shifted to working with all of our salesmen. I am now the GSM at
Archie Cochrane Ford. I am in charge of helping train our sales crew
into giving you the experience that I so much value myself (customer service).
I personally love getting the opportunity to talk to each and every customer
that walks through our front doors. I also try very hard to make sure that I
get a chance to shake your hand and thank you for your business.
My name is Taylor Gerber. I was born and raised in Montana's Bitterroot Valley where I met my wife before moving here to Billings for her Nursing career. I received my degree from the University of Montana and have been with Archie Cochrane Ford since 2017. I enjoy the easy-going pace here and working with great people. I'm interested in all types of vehicles, from lifted trucks to sports cars. I am a gear head and love learning everything about the vehicles we sell. When I am not at work I enjoy spending my time going on adventures with my wife and our two Mini Aussies. Depending on the time of the year you will find us snowboarding, rock climbing, camping, hiking and spending time outdoors. As a Used Vehicle Manager here I am always happy to help before, during, and after the sale.
I have been with Archie Cochrane Ford for seven years, first as a sales consultant and now as a sales manager with our Internet Department. I went to Skyview HS and graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois. I also spent five years in the Navy. I really enjoy working alongside an outstanding sales team here at Archie Cochrane Ford, and I love the daily interaction with new and previous customers. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my three Rhodesian Ridgebacks, traveling, and doing pretty much anything outside.
Tim has been working for Archie Cochrane Ford since 1981, and is currently Fleet Manager.
"A lot of knowledge comes with the years of experience here at Archie Cochrane Ford."
Tim has his Ford Master Certification and specializes in commercial truck sales and commercial accounts management. In 2010, Tim was awarded the Employee Excellence Award for sales, training and customer satisfaction.
Born in Bozeman, MT., Tim has lived in Montana his whole life. He enjoys the outdoors and camping.
I worked at Archie Cochrane Ford from October 1995 - May 2010 and rejoined the company in September of 2015.
I have almost 20 years of sales experience in automotive, marine, and power-sports. I am also a Marine Corps veteran.
The thing I like most about my job is the wide variety of people I get to talk with daily. Every day there is something new, and it's not monotonous or tedious.
When I'm not at work I enjoy hanging out with family.
I was born and raised in Montana and this is truly where my heart is. I grew up in Miles City and have been in Billings almost 20 years. I love camping, fishing, music, and time with friends and family! I am always up for an adventure and love to see where the road will take me.
I am very passionate about helping my clients find the right vehicle and thoroughly enjoy guiding them through this process from start to finish. Getting to know my clients and their families is the best part of my work day! Then watching them leave the dealership feeling happy and confident in their decision is the cherry on top.
My name is Blaine and I'm from western Montana. When I'm not spending time at the dealership, you can find me enjoying live music, hiking or snowboarding, and listening to music on my record player! I enjoy working at Archie's; I've always had a passion for helping others, and being a sales representative allows me to assist people from all walks of life.
I was born here in Billings and raised out on a small ranch between Columbus and Absarokee. I've lived here in Billings for the past several years and enjoy this area and what it has to offer! I still enjoy going home to the mountains to hike, camp, and fish during the spring and summer when I'm not at the dealership helping those who come in.
My favorite part about my job is making people happy and seeing them drive away satisfied. Meeting a new person and making a friend is my goal everyday, and why I enjoy coming to work to be with the great people I work with.
