Ballas Buick GMC Service Team

Mary Jo Lompis, Customer Care & Appointment Coordinator

The first smiling face you’ll see upon entering the Ballas Service Center is vivacious Mary Jo Lompis. Mary Jo is dedicated to serving her customers, and she does it with energy and enthusiasm. You may receive a call from Mary Jo reminding you of your service appointment or checking to see if your service repairs were done to your satisfaction; and she will probably answer the phone when you are calling to book a service appointment. We know you will enjoy working with her.
 
Mary Jo came to Ballas recently after having spent many years in children’s day care and extended care programs. However, when asked what she is most proud of in life, Mary Jo responds quickly, “First of all, my son Adam, but secondly being given the opportunity to learn a new job in a totally new industry”. Mary Jo loves people and loves to talk to people. Her friendly demeanor makes quick friends. Mary Jo’s sister, Jackie comments, “Mary Jo, you talk to everyone and they talk to you. I think you could make a Monk talk”. Now that is charisma!
 
In her spare time, Mary Jo enjoys action movies and crossword puzzles, but most of all sports, especially the New York Yankees and the Chicago Bears. When asked if there is something that people don’t know about her, she replies, “People know everything about me because I love to talk to people and I have no secrets. The only thing that might qualify as a secret is that I was stood up for my senior prom, but now I think it is funny”, she adds. We think her date was the loser because spending any amount of time with Mary Jo is fun and energizing. We are proud to have her serving our Ballas service customer!

Shawn Martell

The pleasant smile that will great you at our cashier’s window is that of Shawn Martell. Shawn grew up in South Toledo and graduated from Springfield High School in 1997. After attending The Ohio State University and trying several other careers, Shawn settled into a career in automotive customer service. It is a natural fit for her because she loves people and numbers. In fact, her automotive courses earned her completion awards with many 100% scores over the past several years, and we all know that accuracy is critical when it comes to final paperwork. 
 
Shawn is the proud mother of daughter, Abigail. Shawn describes Abigail as “an amazing and happy child”. In her spare time Shawn and Abagail enjoy visiting our local Metroparks. Shawn also loves bowling, putt-putt and watching Ohio State football. Shawn’s father, Terry Martell was an Ohio State Alumni and she describes her passion for OSU sports as, “something I grew up with and absolutely love”. Father Terry and Mother Kathy still reside in Holland, Ohio.
 
One thing Shawn doesn’t love is cooking, but she says she loves to eat out or have boyfriend, Jay cook for her. Shawn describes Jay’s cooking as “incredible”.  

What is Shawn most proud of? She says, “It is providing a stable and loving home for my daughter and for being financially independent”.   And for her personal and professional qualities we are proud to have Shawn taking care of our service customers. Thank you Shawn!
