Date Published: August 25, 2026 | 4 minute read | Get to Know Jill Tresch at Redwater Dodge
Energetic, candid, and perpetually smiling, Jill is a fixture on the Redwater Dodge showroom floor. Known around the dealership for her sharp wit, infectious positive energy, and authentic relationships with local drivers, she brings a refreshing, human-first approach to buying a vehicle in Northern Alberta.
Although Jill is a staple for local truck buyers in Redwater, her story traces back to the mountain scenery of Smithers, British Columbia, a small town with a big international reputation.
"My time in Smithers, BC... one thing people probably don't know about it is it's called Steelhead Paradise, because everybody comes there to go steelhead fishing."
Growing up immersed in rugged outdoor culture shaped Jill’s lifelong appreciation for heavy-duty power and lifted trucks. Her driving journey started early behind the wheel of a lifted GM half-ton truck, generously financed by her family.
"This sounds really bad, but thanks to my parents for paying! My best memory was honestly probably skipping school with my best friend Haley. We would go up logging roads, and then my sister would just delete the emails so my parents really never knew until the end of the school year!"
When she is not helping customers find their ideal vehicle at Redwater Dodge, Jill keeps a high-energy schedule centered around fitness, equestrian training, and impromptu road trips.
Hobbies & Passions: When asked what keeps her busy off the sales floor, Jill keeps it plain and simple: "Horses! Horses and the gym now."
The Ultimate Road Trip: If she could load up a truck right now and drive anywhere, she is heading straight south with her close friend Megan. "Texas, and I would never come back! We went all the way up along the coast a couple of years ago on a road trip and it was the most fun."
Vacation Vibe: Forget mountain camping, Jill is an unapologetic beach lover. "The beach. I'll be in the water and you will not get me out of the water!"
Daily Kickstart Routine: Her morning fuel depends strictly on her schedule. On relaxed days, she treats herself to Starbucks or Booster Juice. On busy delivery mornings, it is a quick stop at Tim Hortons or an ice-cold Coconut Red Bull, "because those are elite."
Vehicle Playlist: Her playlist alternates between country anthems and high-energy hip-hop. "Love us some Cody Johnson, but we love Young Dolph as well... kind of anything that's a good vibe."
Go-To Local Cravings: When it comes to her favourite meal spot, Jill has one standing craving: "I will always eat sushi. I love sushi."
Ask anyone around Redwater Dodge to describe Jill in three words, and two specific descriptors come up instantly: "spicy" and "smiley."
"Spicy... you could ask anyone at the dealership that! Smiley is probably another one, because they'd probably tell me to stop smiling so much. "
Her upbeat personality keeps the rest of the sales team on their toes, bringing lighthearted energy to the floor every day.
"Honestly, it's kind of fun beating the guys up! "
For agricultural workers, local contractors, and commercial fleet managers visiting the dealership, Jill’s down-to-earth approach builds immediate trust. How do you make her day when visiting the lot?
"Buy a vehicle, or bring me a tea! But honestly, I also really love when my farmer customers come in and we have juicy gossip time."
While Redwater Dodge is proud to be Northern Alberta's premier destination for Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 heavy-duty trucks, Jill is never afraid to speak her mind when asked about her personal dream setup.
"I might get in trouble for saying this... but I would love a 450 King Ranch dually with a flatbed, and that's what I want next!"
Her appreciation for commercial flatbed utility and massive towing capacity mirrors the practical demands of the rural buyers she serves every day. Whether you are looking to get a second opinion on your current trade-in value, explore custom heavy-duty Ram options, or drop by for a hot drink and a chat about trucks, stop by Redwater Dodge and ask for Jill.
