Ben Huey — Service Manager

Ben Huey joins Monroe Tractor with more than 25 years of customer service in managerial positions in retail and the automotive industry, receiving company awards in both fields. Most recently, he was the service manager at a local RAM, Jeep dealership.

"Now I spend my downtime rebuilding engines as a hobby. My personal goal is to learn something new each day and to be fair and honest with customers. I look forward to helping customers with their equipment needs so they can do what they do best on the job site and in the field."

"With Ben's previous service management experience and understanding of commercial and agricultural equipment, I am confident he will benefit our customers and add to our already knowledgeable service team," said Jim Mitchell, Binghamton branch manager.

"He is a solid communicator with excellent technical skills that our customers will recognize and benefit from."
