WAUCONDA, Ill. – Long-time automotive aftermarket sales professional Mike Hawley has returned to the Heidts Automotive Group as sales and dealer relations manager. In his current role, Hawley will be overseeing all sales functions for Heidts products, including the company’s extensive lineup of hot rod and muscle car parts, as well as helping to grow the Heidts dealer network.
 
“Late this summer, I was approached by Wallace Leyshon, the new owner of Heidts,” said Hawley. “Together, we hammered out a deal for my return to Heidts as sales and dealer relations manager. My previous position taught me a lot about the individual car builders and their specific needs. These insights and experiences will be very valuable to our entire team in helping our Heidts dealers grow their businesses.”
 
Hawley first joined Heidts in August of 2006 and spent three-and-a-half years on the sales team before leaving to join Schwartz Performance. Hawley also has automotive aftermarket sales experience with CPU Car Parts prior to first joining Heidts.
 
“We’re pleased to have Mike back into the Heidts organization,” said Leyshon, owner and president of Heidts Automotive. “He is an outstanding sales professional and adds a great deal of depth and experience to our sales team. He also has very good working relationships with many of our current dealers and as a group, I believe he can help them grow their business around our extensive and growing lineup of Heidts products.”
