“My Grandfather, Gordon Crosby, began Crosby Volkswagen Audi in 1966.” says Michael Crosby. “He put his heart and soul into the business and formed a value system that remains our key focus 50 years later. It was simply The Golden Rule; treat people the way they expect to be treated. When I joined the company he tutored me through leading our sales team initially, and eventually I advanced to general management. Gord believed in full transparency, honesty and simplicity. His philosophy was to make sure we were always providing value to our customers, and he believed if we did that they’d keep coming back. He was an incredible mentor.”

And so it continues.
