Open Today Sales: 9 AM-8 PM
I was raised in Central Florida and was a Paramedic Firefighter for over 12 years. My favorite hobby was cars and trucks as a kid. I actually had an auto detailing company that led me to being in the automotive retail business. I started in the automotive business in 1996 and I’m a National Automotive Dealers Association Dealer Academy Graduate in 2006. I’m proudly married to my wife Deborah and we have a daughter Taylor who is Pre-Med student. I also have a son Chase who lives in Georgia. My best buddy is my “Morkie” Leo. My favorite thing to do is eat my wifes unbelievable “Italian” heritage food and my relaxation is playing golf.
My name is Haz and I’m the General Sales Manager here at Garber Chevrolet of Highland. I’ve been with the company since July of 2020 and I have over eleven years of experience in the retail automotive industry. One of my favorite things about my job is that I can help people get into their dream car or assist them in solving life’s unexpected challenges. When I’m not at work, I love to cook and I really love to golf. I do so just about every time the weather permits me to! I currently have a Chevrolet Tahoe and I love it! My next step is to upgrade to the new Tahoe given its massive amount of features and unique ride systems. I hope the next time you’re in the showroom you’ll come and say hello!
My name is Carlo Herrera, I am a Northwest Indiana resident and a Marine Corps Veteran. I have been with Garber Highland since November of 2020, getting the opportunity to work here was the best decision for my family and I because I am finally making deals in my own backyard. I am the New car sales manager here at Garber Highland but my background as a Used car manager, Finance manager and General Sales manager gives me the edge we need to get our customers the best customer service out there! I have been in the Automotive business since 2012 and have been in some sort of customer service and retail sales since high school. My favorite thing about being the New car sales manager is being able to help customers get into a brand new vehicle that either A puts them into better financial situation or B get them to be able to drive their dream car into their driveway. Treating every customer I come in contact with as family is what I love to do and if you ever get to know me or hear about me I love my family and there is a lot of them! When I am not here at the Dealership making deals, I am at my favorite gym Class UFC gym boxing and working out with what do you my family! Traveling would be my second favorite thing to do since I was in the marines I got to see some amazing places and I always plan on seeing more of this world. I like to think that my biggest asset when it comes to being a customer facing employee is that I try to be a positive energy type of person. Everyday when I walk into this dealership I make sure I have a smile on, energetic and welcoming to everyone that comes with within arm’s reach because a positive attitude can make everyday just a little bit better! When it comes to cars it is hard for me to not sell myself a New vehicle every 6 months because getting a brand new car with that brand new car smell is just addicting, but for now I love the vehicle I drive which is a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Q4. Soon I may be back in the market and get myself into my pride and joy of the New car dept and that’s a New Lifted Black Widow Silverado.
Hello friends, I have been with this dealer for 11 years now and I look forward to many more with the Garber Automotive Group. I love to golf and travel around the country to play all the famous courses. The most rewarding part of this job is when clients come back to see me for multiple cars over multiple years building a great relationship. In those cases the sale process is more enjoyable and relaxed on both sides of the desk. Find me on Facebook or Instagram to connect!
My name is Christopher Ofcky and I am the Digital Retail Director here at Garber Chevrolet of Highland. I’ve been with Garber for over a year now and in the automotive industry since about 2006 with various dealerships across both import and domestic. I love the automotive business and one of the greatest things my job affords me is to meet so many different people with different backgrounds, occupations, and goals in life. I love helping each and every person achieve those goals, customer or employee. I have extensive experience in Internet Management, as it is where I started my career years ago! I lead a great team here at Garber. One of the reasons I fit well with the Garber culture is that I firmly believe in the values the company represents: Honesty, Empathy, Respect, Work Ethic, Integrity, and Pride.

I was born in Ecuador in 1993, and moved to the states a year later. For most of my life, I have lived in NWI.

I enjoy not only helping customers in their transportation needs but also helping others achieve their goals and helping them to stay motivated. I am blessed to be a father of two beautiful girls and a husband to one gorgeous woman. When I am not with my family or work, I am watching sports or playing some COD. For those who don’t know me, I speak, write and read in Spanish. If you are in the market for a New Chevy or any pre-owned vehicle, give my team here at Garber Highland a call.
