My name is Marvin Dames. I am a 33 year old Marine Combat Veteran and Nissan Service Advisor. I'm originally from the small Island of Bimini, Bahamas where I grew up for most of my childhood. My family and I moved to the United States when I was just about 10 years old. My Mom, my 4 younger sisters, and I eventually migrated to Saint Augustine Florida in 1999 and we've been here ever since. I started working at Nissan of Saint Augustine in February 2011 as a Lot Porter. In the past 8 plus years I have worked my way up. I've been a Lot Porter, Express Service Technician, Parts Consultant, and now a Service Advisor within this dealership. If you have any questions about service, I'm your guy. In my spare time, I spend quality time with my 6 children and 1 Siberian Husky that live at home with me. We like to visit family and friends and enjoy going out to eat or seeing a movie, but most of all, my kids love the beach and the park.

He is also a University of Florida graduate. GO GATORS!! I love the Florida weather, not having to shovel snow has been a bonus!

My name is Ryan Neville. I am a St. Augustine native, born and raised. I stared at Nissan of St. Augustine in 2018 and I've always enjoyed being able to help people. I take pride in customer satisfaction and providing exceptional service to my valued community. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friend. We enjoy taking the boat out to fish, or just to enjoy the beautiful Florida water ways. My beautiful wife Rachel, my son Easton and my two dogs Bella and Moose are my world. St. Augustine has always been home to me. I could never imagine living or serving another community as amazing as right here. If you have any service questions or concerns, it would be my pleasure to assist you with all of your car care needs!
