Combined, the Bensons have over forty years\u2019 experience in the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that is consistent in the car industry is change, and Mark believes that by embracing the change risk can be minimized. To this end, the Bensons and several partners have created a <a href=\"\/\">new company in a relatively new field; refinancing automobiles<\/a>. Think \u201cQuicken Loan\u201d but transparent and for cars.<\/p>\n<p>The real passion of the Benson\u2019s is their involvement in the non-profit world and paying it forward. Since arriving in Honolulu, Mary has held board positions with the Honolulu Zoo Society, the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise, the Junior League of Honolulu, Damien Memorial School and Kalihi Business Association. Mark has served with the Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, New Hope Oahu, and the Hawaii Automobile Dealer Association.
