The Graff family has been in the automotive retail and service business for over 100 years and the reason is the people behind the Graff sign on the front of the building. With 7 of the 9 Graff dealerships being run by employees who worked their way up to managing partner, the opportunity for advancement within is a core value of Graff. Most of the department managers at each store came from a variety of positions within the store: sales, mechanic, porter and service writer to name a few. If you are looking for a place to work that values effort, integrity and the ability to be a good co-worker, Graff Okemos is the place for you. Being a good member of the Okemos and the surrounding communities is a guiding factor of how we run our business. We are willing to invest in our community thru many sponsorship programs including:

• Ingham County 4H Auction
• ElE's Place
• Haslett, Williamston, Okemos and East Lansing Schools

We look forward to personally speaking to you to see if your goals and vision match our dealerships.
