About Bill Crispin Chevrolet

Bill Crispin Chevrolet is a family owned and operated dealership. It was originally established by Bill Crispin in Detroit in 1975, and relocated to the Saline-Ann Arbor area in 1978. In 1992, his daughter Debbie Crispin, became a partner and took on responsibilities of Vice President and General Manager. Bill Crispin Chevrolet, one of the largest Chevrolet dealers in Southeast Michigan, is known for its commitment to quality and service. We have a strong foundation that has been earned only through hard work and the tests of time. We have stability, longevity, growth and respect for our community, our customers, and ourselves.

Our philosophy at Bill Crispin Chevrolet has remained the same since the doors first open. Mr. Crispin′s vision was to treat each and every customer with the utmost respect. Debbie has since picked up the torch and has carried it on with a woman′s touch. When you purchase a vehicle from Bill Crispin, you not only purchase a car, but you buy into the philosophy that has made this dealership the success that it is today. We are ″The GM Dealer You Can Trust.″ You will walk in and out of our dealership knowing that you were treated as an equal and that every single member of the sales and service staff had done their very best to make your experience the best possible.

Creator Daily Inspirational Quotes, 2006-Present

A few years ago, my business coach Frederick Grosse challenged me to stop watching the News, stating it is like a drug addiction of negative energy. Giving up the news was harder for me than I had anticipated. I had noise in my kitchen, bedroom, family room, everywhere. I was addicted. When I stopped, I needed to fill the void of Television so I started to read inspirational quotes every morning. I would find two that resonated with and on that day I would forward them along with a motivational tag line of my own to a very small group of business associates. My sign off was consistently: Live With Gratitude, Debbie. Since then, I have been sharing different motivational quotes for the last 3 years. It is totally amazes me how many people from all over the world read them. It makes me ″feel good″ to help others to start their day off, as well as mine, on the right foot. It cost nothing to be Grateful we just need a Daily Reminder.
