For many years, the automotive industry has been a male-dominated industry. Service, Parts, Sales, and even just cars in general, tend to bring up male imagery. At Lexus of Las Vegas and Lexus of Henderson, reality is breaking that perception. We proudly have women working throughout all our departments. In honor of March as Women’s History Month and with this year’s theme being “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories”, we have invited women who enjoy professional careers at the Ascent Automotive Lexus stores to tell their stories.
Sammy Gomez
Sales Consultant
Sammy began her career at Lexus of Henderson as a valet, before becoming a lot porter, and pre-owned manager’s assistant prior to her current position.
“It’s amazing working for Lexus. They treat you the same. Nothing is based on your gender. I feel happy coming to work every day.”
Krystal Reyes
Sales Consultant
“Lexus of Las Vegas is the most diverse dealership I’ve ever worked at. We have women in all positions, including management… There is as much support as you need for whatever you want to do and however you want to grow.”
Rachel Roemer
Lease Retention Manager/Sales Consultant
“Women customers feel more comfortable when they see women in all departments. This makes female customers feel empowered if they have a female talking to them… I have young women who come in to buy their first Lexus, and we immediately establish a relationship. It’s like having fun with your girlfriend. Women customers are more comfortable with us because we share the same lifestyles, children, etc.”
Elaina Hunley
Parts Associate Former real estate agent.
“Men tend to be more knowledgeable about parts, so sometimes female customers feel intimidated. Women feel more comfortable with me because we can talk woman to woman… I like being the person who helps solve people’s problems, and Lexus allows me to do that.”
Kristina Duvall
Service Advisor. Kristina has 20 years of automotive experience and has worked for Lexus of Las Vegas for the last two years.
“If you are a female, you feel more comfortable coming to see a female (to service your vehicle). Things won’t be told to her in ‘man-explained’ terms. We women speak the same language…”
Lexus of Las Vegas is proud to have these among the many other women we have as part of our family. We strive to identify and eliminate any and all impediments to having a fully diversified staff of professionals ready to help you purchase, finance, service, and maintain your Lexus.
