Buckalew Chevrolet, LP of Conroe, Texas, is excited to announce and recognize two outstanding employees, Lupe Espinosa and David Dominguez, who will reach the 40-year mark of employment by this dealership in 2023. Both individuals have excelled in their abilities to perform their workmanship and are respected and looked up to by their co-workers.
Lupe Espinosa is a Master Painter in the dealership’s Body Shop. His work has proven to be top quality and his passion for perfection shows in every vehicle he paints. Lupe is well respected in the community and is known by his peers for his ability to match paints on vehicles, making them look just like they did when they were new from the manufacturer.
Lupe has been married to his wife, Sandra, for over 44 years. He is the proud father of three boys, Lupe Jr., Alex and Allen (who are twins). He has a daughter, Arlene, and he answers to “Papa Bear” for his four grandchildren.
Lupe, in his off time, enjoys spending time with his boys fishing or sitting around, strumming the guitar.
David Dominguez has been the dealership’s main trim technician and has recently moved to New Vehicle Make Ready. He began his career at Buckalew in the Body Shop as a porter and then moved up to become a painter’s helper. After being a helper, he advanced to doing body work and then, in 1996, moved over to the service department to become a trim technician. David has completed all of General Motors’ required certifications. For years, David has been the go-to man for a hard-to-find rattle, squeak, or water leak. If it was there, David could find it, and he would know how to fix it.
In David’s off time, you will still find him working on his personal and family vehicles. To him, that is relaxation. David has been married for 30 years to Pamela and is the proud stepfather to three boys, Jerry, Jason and JD, and one girl, Sonya. He will probably be repairing family vehicles for a long time as he also has eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
