Where It All Started

John started selling cars at the age of 18 in his hometown of Weyburn Saskatchewan while taking over the family farm. Realizing he was better in sales than farming, he dove into the auto industry becoming a very high performer.Many customers still remember his “John’s pick of the week” that ran in the weekly paper. Trina and John moved to the Edmonton area where John moved up the ranks over the next 17 years, including several senior management positions for 2 local Auto Groups.

In 2011 they purchased Kelowna Hyundai as their first addition to the Kot Auto Group. Today they are very proud to be a community-minded dealer group where all their adult children are involved in the business.
