Ranay is a relatively new Liberty Bay employee, just over 3 years into her time with us. In that time, Ranay has proven herself as a valuable asset to the company with the ability to generate long-term customers for the Service Department. On the rare chance that you catch Renee relaxing, you might find her watching thriller or suspense movies, crime documentaries, or cooking shows, (even though she self-admittedly cannot cook.)

Initially hired on as the Service Department’s Dispatcher, Ranay now works as a Service Advisor, calling upon her experience at a previous job, working for a transmission shop. Ranay feels right at home working around cars for her day job, and continues this passion well into her off hours. “Anything to do with cars, racing,” she says, when asked about her hobbies.

Originally hired on as a technician specializing in Subaru products, Marcel’s time at Liberty Bay Auto is now spent in the Service Dispatch position, where he acts as the liason between technician, service advisor, and customer. A little over four years into his adventure with Liberty Bay, Marcel brings an air of “politely-get-it-done” to the front counter that keeps his coworkers motivated and always looking to succeed.

A Subaru Senior Master Tech, it’s unlikely you’ll find many others who know the Subaru product line with as much in depth, hands on experience. When asked about his most-desired work-place superpower, Marcel simply says, “to be in two places at one time.” Outside of work you can catch Marcel cooking something delicious, or kicking back and enjoying his favorite sports on TV.
