He joined the Thorson team in March 2022, but his experience with General Motors goes back much further. Over the years, Josh has worked with GM dealerships in Palmdale, Valencia, and Woodland Hills, giving him a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the Southern California automotive market.
Raised in Palmdale, California, Josh knows Southern California well. His years in the automotive business have given him the opportunity to work with customers and teams throughout the region, and he brings that experience to his leadership role at Thorson. Whether he’s supporting his sales team, helping with a customer situation, or making sure the department stays on track, Josh is always focused on keeping things moving in the right direction.
When Josh isn’t at the dealership, he enjoys spending time with his kids in Valencia, following his favorite sports teams, and doing his best to raise his golf handicap. We appreciate Josh’s passion for sports and certainly applaud his loyalty to the Dodgers. We’re just not quite sure about his decision to stick with the Raiders when the Rams are both closer and, well... better. Some things, apparently, even years of Southern California experience can’t explain!
Josh’s experience, leadership, passion, and personality make him an important part of the Thorson team, and we’re glad to have him leading our Sales Department.

When it comes to finding the right part, answering questions, and helping keep things moving behind the scenes, Saul is someone our team knows they can count on.
They say a car can have as many as 15,000 individual parts—and around here, we’re pretty sure Saul knows all 15,000 of them! His extensive knowledge and experience make him a valuable resource for our technicians, service team, and customers alike.
After all these years, Saul continues to bring the same dedication and expertise to his work every day. We’re fortunate to have someone who knows his way around the parts department quite like Saul does—and if you need a part, there’s a very good chance he already knows exactly where to find it.

Through the years, Efren has become a familiar and dependable face to both our customers and our team.
With his dark beard and his ever-present Dodgers hat, Efren is hard to miss. In fact, you can usually tell Efren has arrived before you even see him. His signature greeting, “What’s cookin’?” has become a trademark around the dealership and is his way of letting everyone know he’s in the building and ready to get to work.
Efren brings years of experience and a great attitude to the Parts Department every day. His consistency, dedication, and unmistakable personality have made him a memorable part of the Thorson team for nearly two decades. Whether he’s helping a customer at the counter or working behind the scenes to keep things moving, Efren is always ready to roll up his sleeves and get the job done.
And if you hear a cheerful “What’s cookin’?” from the Parts Department, you’ll know exactly who’s there.

His knowledge of the business, combined with his speed and efficiency, makes him an important part of keeping our wholesale operation running smoothly.
The Wholesale office may be tucked away in a dark corner of the dealership and can sometimes go unnoticed—but Javier is anything but unnoticed! His positive attitude and endless energy make sure you always know when Javier is in the building. Sitting still doesn’t seem to be part of his job description—or his personality.
Javier is known for moving fast, staying busy, and bringing a great attitude to everything he does. His years of experience give him the knowledge to get the job done, while his enthusiasm keeps the Wholesale Parts Department moving at full speed.
If you ever find yourself wondering where all the energy in the back of the dealership is coming from, there’s a good chance Javier is behind it. He may work in a corner, but thanks to his personality, Javier is impossible to overlook.
