Scott is the Chief Operations Officer for the Pitre Auto Group which includes Pitre Buick GMC and Pitre Kia in Albuquerque. Pitre Auto Group is a sponsor of programming on KNKT Radio. On Tuesday, March 24, 2020, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that all “non-essential” businesses be closed. Scott explains the impact this order is having on his employees and his dealerships.  The service side of the dealerships are still open for business according to Scott, but new and used car sales are closed based on this order. If you need service to your vehicle please contact the Pitre Auto Group at (505) 898-1333. Scott is actively working with other dealerships, and the New Mexico Car Dealers Association to ask the Governor to categorize car dealerships as “essential business.” In the meantime, Scott asks our listeners to shop online at Pitre Buick GMC and Pitre Kia in Albuquerque.

Pitre Buick GMC is located at 9737 Eagle Ranch Rd. NW, in Albuquerque. SW Corner of Coors By-pass and Eagle Ranch next to Costco. 505-898-1333. Pitre Kia is located at 9640 Eagle Ranch Rd. NW, Albuquerque. 877-887-1633.
