96 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 6 O ’Brien Automotive Team founder Joseph D. O’Brien Jr. has been selling cars and trucks for more than 45 years and his company is an automotive industry leader in the sales, service, and leasing of a dozen different brands of cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. With dealerships in Illinois, Kentucky, and Washington, the firm also provides parts, service, and paint and body work at its state-of-the-art facilities. His passion to get to work motivated Ryan Gremore to start his automotive career right out of high school in the late 1990s. In doing so, he spurned opportunities to attend some of the top colleges around the U.S. He started by selling cars at one of Illinois’ first Mitsubishi dealerships in 1998 and quickly rose through the ranks before becoming the operating partner in 2006. Gremore and his colleagues have helped the O’Brien Automotive Team grow to include dealerships in four cities and three states AT A GLANCE O’BRIEN AUTOMOTIVE TEAM WHAT: New and pre-owned car dealer and parts supplier WHERE: Normal, Illinois WEBSITE: www.obrienteamil.com omotive Team Creative&committed
