Celebrating 57 Years of Driving the Finger Lakes Forward!

There’s something incredibly special about looking back at where you started. This month, all of us at Bill Cram Chevrolet are taking a moment to reflect, smile, and say a massive thank you as we celebrate our 57th anniversary! Since we first opened our doors back in 1969, a lot has changed. Car designs went from classic chrome and muscle to advanced electric vehicles and smart tech. The roads around Seneca Falls have grown, and generations of drivers have come and gone. But through nearly six decades, one thing has remained absolutely unchanged: our commitment to you, our community. From 1969 to Today: A Journey Built on Trust When Bill Cram first established this dealership at the intersection of Route 414 and 5&20, the goal wasn’t just to sell vehicles. It was to build a business rooted in honesty, family values, and local support. Fifty-seven years later, we are incredibly proud to say we are still standing on that exact same foundation. More Than Customers—You're "Cramily": We’ve had the distinct honor of selling someone their very first car, then years later selling a car to their children, and eventually, their grandchildren. Rooted in the Community: Whether we are cheering on our local Bill Cram Chevrolet T-Ball team at the Geneva Little League opening day, supporting regional events, or just helping a neighbor out of a pinch in our service bay, the Finger Lakes region is our home. We don't just work here; we live, volunteer, and raise our families right alongside you. A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Team and Neighbors A milestone like 57 years doesn't happen by accident. It happens because of two vital groups of people: Our Incredible Staff: From our dedicated sales consultants to our expert service technicians who keep your vehicles running safely year after year, our team’s hard work is the engine that keeps us moving. You, Our Loyal Customers: Thank you for trusting us with your major milestones, your daily commutes, and your family road trips. Thank you for choosing local. Let’s Keep the Wheels Turning Whether you’ve been buying from us since the ’70s or you just discovered the "Cramily" difference recently, we invite you to stop by the showroom this month. Come raise a glass (or grab some popcorn), test drive a new Chevy truck during our anniversary event, or just stop by to say hello to a friendly, familiar face. Here’s to the last 57 years of memories—and to the many miles left to travel together. Thank you, Seneca Falls! Want to celebrate with us or need to get your current ride ready for the road ahead? Give us a call at 315-539-9272, email us at info@billcramchevrolet.com, or swing by the dealership at Route 414 and 5&20!

The return of early morning alarm clocks, bus routes, and after-school practice schedules signals the start of another busy academic year.

Essential Back-to-School Car Care Check-Up Before the morning rush kicks into full gear, preventative vehicle maintenance helps avoid unexpected breakdowns. Our Certified Service Center recommends checking four key components: Brakes & Rotors: Stop-and-go school zone traffic demands responsive brakes. Have your brake pads and fluid checked for optimal safety. Tire Inspection & Pressure: Cooler autumn air causes tire pressure to drop. Ensure tread depth is sufficient for rainy morning drives. Battery Health Test: Summer heat degrades battery lifespan. Test your battery now to prevent a dead vehicle on a crisp September morning. Wiper Blades & Fluid Check: Keep clear visibility during unpredictable Fall weather with fresh wiper blades and topped-off washer fluid. Need a quick inspection?
