    Acura is my favorite car line. My family has owned 5 in the past 10 years including 3 currently.  Acura is also world class and a good partner for the Hendrick organization as our commitments to customer care are so well aligned. Positive is how I live.

    Mike Rausch
    919-969-2263

    Mike's introduction into the auto industry happened early in his life, learning important tools of the trade from his father, who was a mechanic. Growing up, he learned about cars and developed a deep appreciation and love for this industry. Later, his experience as a service consultant began with Ford. Mike was able to gain over three years of experience excelling at customer service and becoming Master Certified on all Ford products. After that, he took time to travel the United States working for an ATM company that managed local and large out of state events; anything from the Ohio state fair, to the Indy 500, to all of the UNC athletic events. While he enjoyed this job thoroughly, Mike realized how much he missed working in the auto industry.

    Acura has always been a product line that Mike's loved, and he has owned several in the past. As an Acura customer, Mike trusted Performance with his cars and found them to have premium customer service and the best technicians that he could find.

    In my time with Performance thus far, I have been able to witness first hand, what sets Performance Acura apart from other dealerships in regards to customer service. I feel very proud to be a member of this team. I am excited to continue to learn everything I can about the Acura product, and take my customer service to the NEXT LEVEL.  I feel honored to be a part of such a wonderful company that treats their employees and customers like family. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for the Acura product with our customers.

    I began working on cars just after the purchase of my first car.   Not knowing any thing about cars, when the front brakes needed replacement, I replaced them.  When the clutch went out, I replaced it, learning all along the way.  At the age of 17 I began to work for a small "Mom and Pop" shop, while attending night school to become an automotive technician.  Several years and a few different independent shops later, I found my-self working at an Acura dealer in Northern VA.  A year later, moved to NC, began working for Performance.  I've been with Hendrick Automotive Group for just over four years now.    In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with Ernie at the farm, since we are practically neighbors and all..
