History
Established in 1987.
Experience counts at Dave Kring. Dave Kring grew up in Petoskey and has been working his way up in the industry since his chance meeting with Budd Tallberg owner of Tallberg Chevrolet in Petoskey. The Central Michigan University graduate came to the dealership to buy a car and walked out with a job. Kring began working at Tallberg’s as a bookkeeper and by 1987, purchased the dealership. In 2005, Kring opened a new facility on U.S. 31 North and renamed it Dave Kring Chevrolet-Cadillac. The dealership has won several automotive rewards, including the Oldsmobile Elite Dealer (2003), Chevrolet Genuine Leader (1997-2001) and GM Mark of Excellence (2004-06). In addition, Kring received the Petoskey Area Chamber of Commerce Mission Award in 2005 for his “undying spirit promoting Petoskey and its mission programs”.
