Hank Graff Davison,  Flint, Michigan’s premiere Collision Center announced today the Grand Re-Opening of it’s World Class Green Body Shop in conjunction with the dealership’s 96th year anniversary. On hand for the
ribbon cutting was ceremony was Graff’s lead painter, Jerry Barkman. Jerry is a
twenty year veteran of the Graff Collision Center. When asked how the water
based, green technology has affected his quality of life, Jerry had this to say,

  “Well, let me start by saying I wish it was the state of the art when I started
out nearly twenty years ago, you can’t believe the difference it makes in the
way you feel, not being exposed to the harsh and sometimes toxic fumes and dust.

   Graff has always provided the best safety equipment money can buy for us but
there was a day in any paint shop where you just could not avoid it sometimes.
In the time that I have been here, now over twenty years al we have to say is
that it will improve quality or it’s better for our health and this place does
it, never questioned” We have always had the cleanest shop around and it shows
in our work too. We just don’t have to fight the conditions other shops
typically have to and we can stay focused on the quality of the work we do and
not be worrying about our health. Larry Griswold, the Collision Center manager
at Hank Graff Davison commented that “our commitment to “Green” has been made as
the technology becomes available and in many cases our facilities were among the
first in the mid-west to adopt Green emerging technologies, equipment, policies
and procedures. All in all it has been great for the environment, the community,
and great for our employees. In addition to using water based paints and
coatings, we also recycle 100% of our rubber and plastic waste, 100% of the
corrugated paper products, all of our steel, oil and chemicals are all sent to
recycling centers. Larry is also celebrating his anniversary with the Hank Graff
organization, his 40th. We have the Best Quality Anywhere - On Time!
