Brock Hinrichs
Sales

Brock grew up in Giltner and graduated in 2009. After spending a few years at UNL and SCC, he realized his passion was working with people and building relationships through sales.

He's been selling vehicles since 2014 and has proudly been a part of the team at Grand Auto Sales since March of 2018. What he enjoys most about the car business is meeting new people every day while also continuing to serve the many customers who have returned to purchase multiple vehicles over the years. Building long-term relationships and helping customers find the right vehicle for their needs is what makes this career so rewarding.

His wife, Madison, and he live in Palmer with their two sons, Jax and Lincoln. When he's not at the dealership, you'll usually find him spending time with his family, golfing, enjoying days at the lake, or watching just about any sporting event that's on!

He looks forward to helping you with your next vehicle purchase and earning your business for years to come!
