About this episode
Adam Mohr and Steve Kittrell from Mohr Imports share insights into their 41-year-old business, which has evolved from Italian car sales to a Porsche-focused dealership. They discuss their partnership with Bring a Trailer, the significance of Monterey Car Week, and the unique experiences they create for clients. The duo reflects on the history of their facility, the importance of storytelling in car sales, and the evolving landscape of online auctions. Their passion for cars and commitment to customer service shine through as they detail their processes and the community connections they've built.
In epsisode 134 of the BaT Podcast, our second video episode: Alex and team pay a Monterey Car Week visit to our good friends and Local Partners at Mohr Imports. With well over 600 listings under their belts, dynamic duo Adam Mohr and Steve Kittrell know what it takes to put a great listing together and have made many a happy customer in doing just that.
The pair talk about the early days and yo-yo-style relocations of the dealership, the mysterious circumstances of the partnership's fruition, how their annual Car Week collection came out of the COVID era, treating every car the same to achieve fair and consistent results, the Wild West of pre-BaT consignment, a notable local celebrity, how alumni listings and our new offers tool add to the transparent history of a car, the photographic embarrassment of riches available to them on the Monterey Peninsula, the Catch-22 of the comments section, and the skills of the folks who help them out on a day to day basis.
