The Five Mile Dream (1958)

Tweet

"The Five Mile Dream” is a short documentary talking about the building of a bridge that connects the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan together. We know of this as the Mackinac Bridge. After many struggles to begin construction, the building of the Mackinac Bridge was completed in 1957. We’re sure that anyone who lives in Michigan will really appreciate and enjoy this film.

Sales Contest Winners

Tweet

Congratulations to the winners of Roy O'Brien's 2014 sales contest. This year, our dealership rewarded the efforts of fourteen employees (and their significant others). The winners were treated to a 3 night stay at the Inn at Bay Harbor, in Petoskey, Michigan.

Pictured below is a family photo of half of the winners while they were on their trip this past weekend. The group really enjoyed the view outside of newly opened "17" restaurant (5 stars from us!). Their server, Penni, who happened to be a former St. Clair Shores resident herself, provided exceptional service. We're glad that everyone had a great vacation, but we're also happy to have them back!

Although in previous years winners have gone to destinations such as Reno, New Orleans, San Diego and Atlantis, this year's group agreed that this was one of the best. All of the employees and their guests immensely enjoyed their "Pure Michigan Adventure". The other half of the sales contest winners will be taking their trip in August.

Meet Our Newest Employees

Tweet

We would like to welcome two new employees to Roy O'Brien Ford.

First we would like to welcome Tess Guyette to our family. Tess is our new Social Media Specialist (S.M.S.). She will be making sure that we are involved in and active on all social media outlets such as Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, Instagram and more.

Outside of work, Tess loves to travel. She recently got back from a trip to Peru. After hiking through the Andes Mountains, she visited Machu Picchu – one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Luckily for us, while she was there she took a photo displaying her Roy O’Brien Ford pride (pictured below).

Tess is a Public Relations major at Wayne State University, with a great interest in social media. So, you might be thinking that our new S.M.S. will be spending all of her time on the computer, right? Wrong. When you come in to our dealership, you’ll most likely see Tess in our Showroom or down in our Service Customer Lounge, interacting with and getting to know our customers. Make sure to say hi and introduce yourself. Who knows, you might get lucky and land an interview with Tess that will be put up on our blog or Facebook.

Welcome to the family, Tess!

We would also like to welcome to Roy O’Brien Ford, Rebecca Bonga. After working at Art Van for ten years, she has decided to try her hand in the car business. Rebecca is now one of our New Vehicle Sales Consultants. She is excited to make the transition from selling sticks to selling steel.

When adding individuals to our team, we look for people not only with good sales skills, but also with great personalities. Rebecca has both. Forming lifelong bonds with customers, her artistic skills and having a wonderful family are just a few qualities of our new employee.

Outside of work, Rebecca loves making stained glass windows and refurbishing furniture. When it comes to family, her four daughters, ranging from ages 18-33, are Rebecca’s pride and joy. She also loves being a grandmother to her five granddaughters and one grandson.

We are thrilled to have Rebecca bring her positive attitude and exceptional customer service skills to Roy O'Brien Ford. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, stop in to see Rebecca. You can be sure that she will greet you with a smile and help find the perfect car for you.

Welcome to the family, Rebecca!
