About
Mentor Nissan | Serving Lake County

Mentor Nissan has been proudly serving Lake County and the surrounding Northeast Ohio communities for decades, built on a simple philosophy: treat every customer the way we would want to be treated. Our story is rooted not just in cars, but in relationships, integrity, and a commitment to excellence that has grown stronger with every year in operation.

 

The team behind Mentor Nissan brings decades of combined experience to every interaction. Jamie Pilla, dealer principal, has spent his career building dealerships that earn repeat business through transparency, fair pricing, and an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction. Ray Sminchak, partner and executive manager, has been part of Mentor Nissan’s story for years, providing continuity and operational expertise that both staff and customers rely on. Anthony Mascia, the youngest of our partners, grew up immersed in the automotive world, and his lifelong passion for cars drives his commitment to delivering exceptional service. Together, they’ve created a dealership that is as much about people as it is about vehicles.

 

At Mentor Nissan, we understand that buying a car is more than just a transaction—it’s an experience. That’s why we’ve built a team that’s invested in this community, not just in the business. Our sales team works tirelessly to provide straightforward pricing and honest answers. Our factory-certified service technicians take pride in maintaining your Nissan at peak performance. And our finance experts craft plans designed around your unique situation, making every decision as simple and stress-free as possible.

 

We are proud to serve communities across Lake County—including Painesville, Willoughby, Wickliffe, Eastlake, Kirtland, Chardon, and Concord. Over the years, Mentor Nissan has earned a reputation for reliability, trust, and repeat business because our customers know we care about their needs long after the sale.

 

Whether you’re shopping for a new Nissan, exploring our carefully selected pre-owned inventory, or bringing in your vehicle for routine maintenance, you’ll experience a team that values honesty, integrity, and community. Mentor Nissan isn’t just a dealership—it’s a place where relationships matter, vehicles are treated with care, and every customer drives away confident they’ve made the right choice.
