Jack Hanania Jr. is the Vice President of Hanania Automotive Group. Jack’s first memories of the business starts at 7 years old when he would visit his dad at work and love to help wash cars. Growing up in the car business, his father encouraged him to learn all aspects of the business including parking cars, washing cars, learning the sales process, finance, service operations and parts inventory. Jack has worked in every position in the dealership and takes pride in his ability to teach and mentor other team members.

Jack knew from an early age that he had a passion for cars and wanted to continue his father’s legacy here in Jacksonville and in automotive. He graduated from Bishop Kenny High School and decided to stay in Florida for college, attending the University of Florida where he received his bachelor’s degree. He most recently graduated from the NCM Dealership academy better preparing him to lead the teams at two recently acquired dealerships, Jack Hanania Buick GMC and Chevrolet. Under his guidance, these locations were recognized as two of the nation’s fastest-growing dealerships for volume, sales, and was awarded the Mark of Excellence for sales and CSI. His results have even received attention from General Motors on a national level. One of Jack’s proudest accomplishments in his profession is the room for growth and upward mobility he has created for employees at Hanania Automotive Group. Jack takes pride in changing the lives of his employees by not just providing a job, but a career path that propels their professional and personal lives forward.

Jack lives by two rules; to provide the best customer service possible where the customer is always right, and the second rule is to always follow the first rule. Jack’s dedication to providing exceptional customer service while creating a gratifying workplace for his employees has propelled his success not only at those two stores but the entire group.

Jack takes pride in the value of his work and the significant impact Hanania Automotive Group can bring to the Jacksonville community. As a locally owned and operated business, Jack is focused on giving back to the community that serves him. Just to name a few, Jack supports K9s for Warriors, Toys for Tots, the Child Cancer Foundation, the Jay-Fund Foundation and many more. Jack enjoys spending time with his family when he is not at the office or going on hunting trips with his dad and brother but his favorite thing to do is to go deep-sea fishing off the coast of Florida.
