Hi, I’m Rachel Bayer Internet Sales Consultant for Germain Toyota of Columbus. 2017 was the year I began my career in the automotive field. Joining the Germain team in 2018 I’m excited to be a part of this great team. I feel my skill set from past positions allowed me to develop my customer service abilities as well as improve my attention to detail and will allow me to better serve our customers. I believe when assisting our guests, I need to move as quickly as possible and be accurate with the needs of our customers as their time is a precious commodity. Born and raised in Zanesville, OH I like being from a small area. My husband Jonathan and I have two children, Caleb and Lamiah. When I’m not at work I enjoy swimming, biking, and camping with my family. When we want to get away, the beach is where you will probably find us. There is nothing like ocean waves and sun. I look forward to helping you find the perfect vehicle to meet your needs.

Hello, I’m Dylan Burns. I joined the Germain team in 2018 as a Sales Consultant. I bring with me a background in transportation and sales. I believe customer’s value good service as much as the product you’re selling. They are buying you as well as the car. Born and raised in Tiffin, OH I enjoyed the close-knit community where everyone looks out for each other. I graduated from Tiffin Columbian HS and then attended Ashland University. Relocating to Columbus in the summer of 2017 I was seeking more opportunities, more to do and to be a part of such a great community/city. In my free time, I enjoy going to concerts and festivals. I play as much soccer as I can, however, I always make time for friends and family. If being a Superhero is an option I would be the Green Lantern. His power is solely based on what he perceives in his own mind. Fear is his biggest enemy, once fear is overcome anything can be done. I relate this to: we can have anything we want once we set our mind to it.
