Jeff Swickard founded Swickard Auto Group in 2014 to provide world-class hospitality to customers. Recognized by Automotive News as one of the fastest-growing dealership groups of 2020, 2021, and 2022, what started as one Mercedes-Benz dealership in suburban Portland, OR, has grown to 53 franchises in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, and Washington representing many legendary brands. Jeff has led multiple dealerships to the highest honors available within their respective brands, including multiple winners of Toyota’s President’s Award, Elite of Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best.

In addition to his business accomplishments, Jeff is passionate about positively impacting the communities in which we operate.

Welcome! I'm Frank Tepesano! I was born in Camarillo in Ventura County, California, and have lived there all my life. My hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, and, recently, photography. I especially enjoy taking morning walks with my dog, "Cadillac." I have been a Sales and Leasing Consultant at Silver Star Cadillac for 17 years. I am a Cadillac Mark of Excellence Award winner. Over the years, I have helped my clients with multiple purchases and assisted their families, neighbors, and associates. I will happily provide references upon request. I pride myself on my knowledge of the Cadillac line. You will know the features that will be most useful to you before you ever drive off in your new Cadillac. I will follow up to ensure that you understand using these elements. This time can also be used to expand your knowledge of other features, if necessary. It is essential that you know how to use these aspects of the vehicle to enjoy your Cadillac to the utmost. Please enjoy your time on the website, and don't hesitate to get in touch with me for a simple and rewarding experience.
