Fletcher Jones, GM Starting Temecula Dealership

To many, Fletcher “Ted” Jones Jr. is the face of Fletcher Jones Motorcars Inc., the Newport Beach Mercedes-Benz dealership that features him in its commercials.

But to anyone who’s bought a Mercedes at Fletcher Jones, Garth Blumenthal, the dealership’s longtime general manager, is the man.

Blumenthal runs the dealership, the largest in Orange County and No. 2 in the nation after El Monte’s Longo Toyota, for Las Vegas-based Fletcher Jones Management Group.

Jones, whose father started in the auto business in 1946, is a key part of the dealership. But day-to-day operations fall to Blumenthal.

Now Blumenthal is set to play a lead role in the opening of a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Temecula in 2009. He’s set to have an equal stake in the dealership with Jones. It’ll be the first dealership that Blumenthal’s had a piece of.

Since 1994, Blumenthal has run the Newport Beach dealership, the flagship of Fletcher Jones Management Group’s chain of 15 dealerships.

Much of Fletcher Jones Motorcars’ success can be attributed to Blumenthal, who’s set the bar for luxury customer service. The dealership offers free car washes, a putting green and rides to the airport.
