Hank Graff Chevrolet Davison

August 13, 2010 Davison Mi. Hank Graff Davison, Michigan's premiere Collision Center announced today the Grand Re-Opening of it's World Class Green Body Shop in conjunction with the dealership's 96th year anniversary. On hand for the ribbon cutting was ceremony was Graff's lead painter, Jerry Barkman. Jerry is a twenty year veteran of the Graff Collision Center. When asked how the water based, green technology has affected his quality of life, Jerry had this to say,

"Well, let me start by saying I wish it was the state of the art when I started out nearly twenty years ago, you can't believe the difference it makes in the way you feel, not being exposed to the harsh and sometimes toxic fumes and dust. Graff has always provided the best safety equipment money can buy for us but there was a day in any paint shop where you just could not avoid it sometimes. In the time that I have been here, now over twenty years all we have to say is that it will improve quality or it's better for our health and this place does it, never questioned". "We have always had the cleanest shop around and it shows in our work too. We just don't have to fight the conditions other shops typically have to and we can stay focused on the quality of the work we do and not be worrying about our health.

Larry Griswold, the Collision Center manager at Hank Graff Davison commented that "our commitment to "Green" has been made as the technology becomes available and in many cases our facilities were among the first in the mid-west to adopt Green emerging technologies, equipment, policies and procedures. All in all it has been great for the environment, for the community and great for our employees. In addition to using water based paints and coatings, we also recycle 100% of our rubber and plastic waste, 100% of the corrugated paper products, all of our steel, oil and chemicals are all sent to recycling centers. Larry is also celebrating his anniversary with the Hank Graff organization, his 40th.

August 2, 2010 Davison MI. Hank Graff Davison, the nation's premier dealer for new Chevrolets and used vehicle sales, announced today that its body shop has been voted the 2010 "Favorite Body Shop" in Genesee County by the readers of The Flint Journal and Mlive.com. After the announcement was made Larry Griswold, Hank Graff Davison's body shop manager had these comments. "What a great way to kick off our 96th anniversary.

August is the month which we celebrate our serving mid-Michigan since 1914. There have been many changes in equipment, materials and technology over the years and Graff has always made certain we have the latest and best including our current state of the art waterborne paint system. We use nitrogen to deliver our PPG waterborne Envirobase paints which allows us to perfectly match the systems that the manufacturers all use. We converted over to waterborne back in 2008 and were among the first in the mid-west to do so. We will put our quality up against anyone's. It's about as good as it gets to be recognized publicly by those your serve."
