Please join us in congratulating Nate Meckley, General Manager at Downtown Ford Sacramento, and Sarah Smith, Regional Controller for Price Family Dealerships!
Nate Meckley has built his career on embracing change and thriving in uncertainty.

Since taking over as General Manager at Downtown Ford Sacramento, Nate has navigated pandemic challenges, semiconductor shortages, and inventory issues, transforming a struggling store into a profitable success with innovative practices like the one-price model. Nate’s unwavering dedication and resilience have made a significant impact on our team and our customers.
Sarah Smith brings a unique blend of empathy and efficiency to her role as Regional Controller. Growing up in a small farming town, Sarah’s journey is marked by her unwavering commitment to helping others and improving operations. From mentoring employees to leading strategic initiatives that have dramatically increased net profit, Sarah’s influence extends far beyond her office. During the pandemic, she redefined teamwork in the back office, ensuring every team member could step into any role as needed. Her dedication to efficiency and cost-cutting has driven incredible financial improvements across our dealerships. As a mentor in the Price Family Women’s Circle, Sarah continues to inspire and uplift those around her.
