Amanda Osmer is the Fourth Generation Steward of Grappone Automotive Group, which includes five new car dealerships (Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai), used cars, wholesale parts, and service, but Amanda both isn’t a car person, nor is she motivated by money, and yet, she wakes up every morning excited to get to go to work and absolutely loves what she does. With her 25 years at Grappone she is far from the longest tenured team member, but even during her time, the company has taken some significant risks to transform how people buy cars, enacting changes previously unheard of in the industry, and built upon their 98-year history with their team, their customers, and the community at the heart of it all.
