25 years and still going. That's the mantra from Dave Gill, who was honored in October 2007 by General Motors for 25 years of selling Pontiacs here at the corner of East Broad Street and Hamilton Road in Whitehall.
It all started in April 1982, when a 34-year-old Dave Gill acquired the store from Avery Pontiac, which was the nation's oldest automobile dealership at the time. Since then the store has sold everything from Tempests to Torrents. In 1987, the GMC brand was added to the new vehicle line-up.
"Our mission statement backs up what we have always done and do every day, 'we try to build lifelong relationships with our customers,'" says Dave Gill. "I would like to thank all of you who have made Dave Gill Pontiac GMC what it is today. If it weren't for our very loyal sales, service and collision center customer base, we wouldn't be here!"
