Meet Chad Engle — General Manager, Mazda Direct

I’m Chad Engle, and as of June 2025, I’m honored to serve as the General Manager of Mazda Direct. The transition has already brought a number of positive changes to our dealership, and we’re aiming higher every day.

Automotive sales is more than a job for me—it’s my heritage. I’ve spent nearly 30 years in this industry, and some of my earliest memories are of the car lot my grandfather owned, where I spent time as a child absorbing the business, meeting customers, and learning the value of integrity and hard work.

When you stop into our showroom, I want you to feel as if you’re walking into a place that cares. I’m always available to talk, answer questions, or walk you through your options. Our commitment extends beyond the sale—our service department is fully equipped to maintain and repair all makes and models, and we stand behind our work.

One thing that never stops? Our inventory. Be sure to keep an eye on our website—our lot is constantly evolving with new arrivals and opportunities for you.

Thank you for choosing Mazda Direct. I look forward to meeting you and helping you find exactly what you need.

Meet Rosalinda Hernandez – Automotive Sales Professional

Hi, my name is Rosalinda Hernandez, and I’m excited to begin my journey in the automotive sales business! I started with Mazda Direct in April of 2025. With a background in retail management, I’ve always loved helping people find exactly what they’re looking for, and now I get to bring that same passion into helping customers choose their new or pre-owned vehicles.

I especially enjoy working with first-time buyers and those who may need a little extra credit help. Our finance manager is excellent at securing approvals—often without the need for a co-signer—so don’t let credit worries hold you back.

If you speak Spanish, ¡soy tu persona! I’m fluent in Spanish and would love to sit down and talk with you.

I live here in Fostoria with my two children—my son is in high school, and my daughter is a first-year student at The Ohio State University. I know how important family and finances are, and I promise to treat every customer with honesty, respect, and absolutely no high-pressure sales tactics.

I’d love the chance to help you find your next vehicle—stop in and see me!
