Simply put Greg Szuniewicz, technician at West Herr Buick Cadillac GMC in East Aurora, is someone you want to have around.

“If there is ever an emergency situation in the dealership you can count on Greg for his fast acting,” said Melissa Attea, general manager at East Aurora.    

Melissa says that based on fact.  Recently, Greg was involved in an emergency situation with Ted Wilkinson, a co-worker.

In late February of this year Greg found another tech, Ted Wilkinson, in a vehicle complaining of indigestion.  Greg asked Ted a few questions and immediately recognized signs of a heart attack.

Greg insisted that Ted take aspirin while someone grabbed a blood pressure cuff from the fire department.  Ted chose to tough it out and continue working, despite Greg’s insistence.  Greg went so far as to contact Ted’s wife about the issue.  That night, Ted was taken to the hospital and treated for a heart attack.

“Thanks to Greg’s quick thinking and EMT background, Ted is doing well and expected to return to work!” Melissa said.

Now, thanks to Greg, there is a blood pressure cuff in the body shop at West Herr in East Aurora.

“I’m a pretty big blood pressure advocate, it’s important to check,” he said.

When he isn’t checking blood pressure, Greg leads a full life.  He’s the captain of his local fire company and also runs a local club for Harley owners, even organizing an annual fundraiser for the club.

“Greg is always concerned with the well being of our employees and customers,” Melissa said.
