Meet our Team

John Koufakis Sr. started Star Auto Group as a stand-alone used car dealership in the '70s. With just himself as a sales specialist, one mechanic, and an auto body specialist he created one of the largest auto groups in the North East. Star Auto Group is now a franchise dealer for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Toyota, Scion, Hyundai, Nissan, and Subaru. Family-owned & operated just like in the '70s.

Hi, I’m Tae Hopkins! As the delivery specialist here, I take pride in helping create positive experiences for our customers. My background in retail management and healthcare has taught me the value of connection and making each interaction memorable. While I’m new to the automotive industry, I’m excited to bring my grounded approach and genuine enthusiasm to the team. When I’m not at work, you might find me at home binge-watching documentaries, at Target hunting for quirky home decor, or attempting to perfect my cooking skills (with varying degrees of success!). I can’t wait to connect with you!
