Salesperson Understands By Car Benefit

posted 3/8/24 -- Onnastie Davis bought her new car from a sales representative who knew exactly how she felt.

Gladys Brito at Serpentini in Westlake completed a program in Pennsylvania several years ago similar to LCCAA’s By Car program.

Onnastie’s 2015 Chevrolet Trax is a “blessing,” she said. This was her first car shopping experience and participating in By Car with OhioMeansJobs Lorain County was a “life-changing” experience for her and her family.

Gladys had a similar experience with the program she completed.

“I am happy she was able to get the car and it’s an honor to see how the program still connects and supports the community,” she said.

By Car is a supportive program for OMJ clients which matches savings from earned income to help participants purchase a quality used car. Savings are matched at a $3 to $1 ratio and participants may also be eligible for a year of car insurance up to $2,500.
