Meet our Service and Parts Director, Gary Schulze

Gary’s distinguished automotive career began in 1975 in Austin, Texas.  He came to Houston in 1990 with more than ten years experience with the Porsche brand to run a multi-line Porsche service and parts department.   The Texas-native’s thirty-six plus year career has been a series of successes holding the titles of Service Manager, Service and Parts Director, VP of Fixed Operations and ultimately General Manager and Managing Partner of a Houston dealership in 2005.  Gary joined indiGO Auto Group in 2011 bringing unmatched service and parts management expertise.  “Our goal is for each customer to have a completely satisfying and memorable parts and service experience with every visit,” he said. “We make it fun, professional, but most of all memorable.”  Gary’s enthusiasm about the car business is as infectious as his admiration for dealer principal Todd Blue. “I think Todd Blue and the organization is what the car business used to be like before public companies started to buy up dealerships.”  He added, “It’s an entrepreneurial experience here… Todd brings his philosophy and smile to the table with his managers and employees.  It’s not just a job, but a growth opportunity.”  On the weekends, you can catch Gary at his farm in Cat Spring, Texas, just forty miles west of Houston riding around on his green tractor and spending time with his two sons and two granddaughters.

This Saturday, March 5th, from 7am-9am, Lamborghini Houston, part of our indiGO Auto Group family, is hosting the incredible event Houston Coffee & Cars at the Lamborghini Houston dealership located at 13921 North Fwy (I-45).  The event is free to all and more than 350 specialty cars are expected to be on display and hundreds of spectators will be in attendance.

Houston Coffee & Cars started as a vision to have automotive enthusiasts who own and drive rare machines share their passion with others while enjoying a cup of coffee the first Saturday morning of every month, quickly turned into one of the country’s top automotive gatherings and has become what it is today. Founder Jorge Verdejo, who after transferring to Houston from Los Angeles noticed a missing connection in the local automotive scene and what started as just a gathering of no more than 10 cars that included machines from the Ferrari and Lamborghini clubs as well as beautiful classic machines now hosts over 400 cars and gathers automotive enthusiasts of all ages.

Founder Verdejo said, "We're expecting a blend of everything from 1920 Model T's, collector cars, exotics and high-end specialty cars."

Todd Blue, dealer principal of Lamborghini Houston and Porsche of North Houston added, "We're thrilled to host Coffee & Cars and have the opportunity to share this event with our customers as well as car enthusiasts from all over the area."
