Sepehr Jafari
Audi Brand Specialist | Farsi - I started when I was 14 at a small garage dealership. By 17, I realized being a mechanic wasn't the right path for me, so I transitioned into a parts advisor role. From there, I gained experience in marketing and purchasing used cars for the dealership before moving into sales, where I discovered my passion for working directly with the clients.
Pfaff stood out to me because of their reputation for excellence, innovation, and customer-first approach. I wanted to be part of a team that not only sells amazing cars but also represents a culture of passion and precision. Joining Pfaff Audi felt like the perfect fit. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration (Automotive Management) from Georgian College, and I plan to pursue my MBA in the near future to continue expanding my knowledge and leadership skills.
My interest in cars started at a young age. I've always been fascinated by the mix of performance, design, and technology. Audi's lineup in particular resonates with me because of how they balance sportiness with everyday usability. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be either the RS7, for its perfect blend of power and practicality, or the 2008 R8 with the gated manual transmission, which is truly an icon. Outside of work, I'm very active. I spend a lot of time at the gym and also enjoy boxing. In the summer, I like going to the track and attending car meets with friends. Beyond cars and fitness, I also enjoy traveling, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. I live in Richmond Hill.
