Tony Zanette, Sales and Leasing

Hello, my name is Tony. I was born in Toronto (Go Leafs!), but raised in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. My work background and career of over 15 years was spent working for a large Engineering and Development firm in Waterloo as a Quality Engineer and teaching Quality Processes. With my background experience it was a perfect fit when transitioning over to GM products, simply because of their quality, and for over 11 years I have been doing just that.
 
The word QUALITY here at Bennett GM is taken very seriously and not just a "window dressing', it translates to superior customer service and treating their clients and staff with the utmost integrity-second to none. That is why I chose to work for such a fantastic organization. My position in Sales and Leasing is to counsel clients and to assure they make the right decision for a long-term relationship with us.
 
My hobbies include cooking (especially Italian) and entertaining at home, last but not least, I love animals and am partial to dogs.
