Getting to Know James Sullivan

When you think of a first-class service, perhaps fancy resorts and/or complimentary noise-canceling headphones on lengthy airport flights may come to mind; and chances are, your experience at your previous car dealership probably didn’t make that list. But that’s just because you haven’t met the sales consultants at Fletcher Jones Motorcars in Newport Beach, and more specifically? You haven’t met James Sullivan and his team.

Inside the newly renovated Fletcher Jones Motorcars Newport Beach dealership, you’ll find our Director of Client Development and Sales & Leasing, James Sullivan sitting alongside a stack of trophies. For Team James Sullivan, buying a car is more than simply just that—buying a car. Rather, it’s more of a one-of-a-kind experience.  If you think about it, it’s not every day you get to buy a car, especially a Mercedes-Benz, right?

James was born and raised in Orange County, growing up in Fullerton and went to Servite High School in Anaheim. After high school, he attended UC Riverside earning his Business degree. Growing up, he always had an affinity for Mercedes-Benz models. It was a Mercedes-Benz that saved his mother’s life when involved in a severe car accident while James was a young boy.

With that memory and fascination for automobiles, James sought to get into the industry. He visited the Mercedes-Benz factory in Sindelfingen, Germany the summer of his junior year of college and was hooked. As graduation was fast approaching, he knew he needed to get his foot in the door so, he started washing cars for his local Mercedes-Benz dealership in Southern California while still attending classes. After a couple of months, he was promoted to a customer service role, where he helped improve client experiences at the dealership and shortly after graduating college, he became a sales assistant to some of the top salespeople in the country. He listened and learned.

After over a decade of working elsewhere and gathering a large following, James was asked to come to Fletcher Jones Motorcars in Newport Beach. Since joining our Mercedes-Benz Newport Beach family in 2007, Team James Sullivan has consistently been named the number one sales team, for over 10 consecutive years! His approach? His clients say he cares, provides them with VIP treatment, and transparent financial options. His team also has extensive product knowledge and always follows up to ensure your complete satisfaction. Many of James’ clients have followed him for decades, and now their children have grown and get their Mercedes from James and his Team.

Appointments are available and allow for personal attention and consultation in a professional and relaxed atmosphere.
