    Gabrielle Abinion

    Operations Manager

    Gabrielle (aka Gabi) is the Operations Manager at Saline Chevrolet! A Saint Charles, IL native, Gabi recently moved to Michigan in October 2024 to join Saline Chevrolet.  She’s always had a passion for the automotive industry-  everything from customer service, employment and creating a dealership vibe that feels more like family and less like a sales pitch.    Gabi’s a big believer in making the customer experience unforgettable (in the best way) and advocating for women and minorities in the automotive world.  In 2013, she graduated from Loyola University Chicago and has worked in many positions at dealerships from Sales to Service. A few things she’s proud of? Her recent accolades include 2024 Automotive News 40 Under 40 Honoree, Best Retailer Award – 2024 Chicago Auto Show, Ally Sees Her Award – 2023 National Association of Minority Automotive Dealers.

    When Gabi’s off the clock, you’ll find her diving deep — literally. She loves free diving/spearfishing and exploring our amazing ocean on a single breath. She’s also an avid angler, whether it’s saltwater fishing off a coast, deep sea or casting a line in one of Michigan’s many lakes.

    If you see a ridiculously cute Chocolate Labrador named Sierra lounging around the showroom like she owns the place… she kind of does. Sierra is Gabi’s trusty sidekick, service dog, and the unofficial Employee of the Month (every month).  Honestly, she’s gunning for our jobs and might just help you pick out your next ride if you give her treats.

    If Gabi can make your visit any better—or you just want to talk cars, Labradors, or life—come say hi. She can’t wait to meet you.

Whether you’re buying your first car or your fifth truck, Kim’s goal is simple: make sure you leave excited, happy, and confident.

    If you’re looking for a car-buying experience that’s both enjoyable and stress-free, Travis Casey is the guy you need to see. For six years, he’s been helping customers at Saline Chevrolet find the perfect car while making the process feel like a breeze. His secret? A mix of expertise, a great sense of humor, and a genuine passion for making sure you leave with a car you truly love.

    When Travis isn’t building unbeatable finance deals or coaching our sales team like a dealership Phil Jackson, you’ll find him hitting the gym, dominating on the basketball court, or yelling at the TV during U of M games. A die-hard fan of the Michigan Wolverines, Detroit Tigers, and Lions (yes, he’s stayed loyal through it all), Travis lives and breathes sports—so much so that he’s got a solid collection of sports memorabilia.

    But his proudest title? Dad. Travis is deeply involved in his two kids’ lives and brings that same dedication and energy to every customer he helps. His favorite car?

    Lisa Mancini

    Finance Manager

    With an automotive career that began in 1988, Lisa has been mastering the art of automotive finance ever since. She’s not just good at what she does — she’s legendary. From the moment she stepped into her first dealership, she knew the finance department was where the real magic happened. She’s been crunching numbers, signing deals, and helping folks drive off into the sunset ever since.

    Lisa excels at making financing feel like a friendly conversation instead of a math exam. She thrives on helping customers make smart, confident financial decisions that work for their vehicles and their families. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned car shopper, Lisa will walk you through the process with patience, humor, and a dash of sass.

    When she’s not working her financial magic at Saline Chevrolet, Lisa enjoys joyriding Lucy — her red-headed 2008 Pontiac Solstice who she lovingly refers to as her “midlife crisis on wheels.” She loves spending time with her kids Angela & Thomas and her grand-dog – Gunther.

    Come into Saline Chevrolet and ask for Lisa — she’s the one who can find you the perfect financing plan and probably convince you to name your next car.

    Mike Herman

    Sales Consultant

    If you’ve been to Saline Chevrolet in the last 27 years, chances are you’ve met Mike Herman. As one of the veterans on our sales team, Mike’s built his loyal customer following by pairing decades of experience with a handshake you can trust and personality that makes car buying fun. Whether you’re buying your first car or your fifth from him, he treats everyone like family—which makes sense, because family means everything to him.

    Originally from Flint and now living near Chelsea, Mike grew up in a GM household where being a Chevy fan wasn’t a choice—it was a way of life. Every single member of his family has worked for General Motors. He’s proud to carry on that tradition, both personally and professionally. Mike doesn’t just talk cars—he’s raced them too. He spent years tearing up tracks across the Midwest in his Oldsmobile 442 Calais with the SCCA.  When he’s off the showroom floor, Mike’s probably in a forest somewhere—hiking or canoeing through the scenic trails and waterways of Michigan or Canada, always in good company.

    His favorite car? The next Chevy he helps you fall in love with.  From first-time buyers to lifelong Chevy fans, Mike’s helped them all. After nearly three decades at Saline Chevrolet, he’s got a story for every model and a solution for every budget. Stop in and see why around here, folks don’t just ask for a car—they ask for Mike.

    Kevin Kelsey

    Sales Consultant

    Kevin’s been part of the Saline Chevrolet family since 1998—first as a customer, then as a sales consultant for the last 11 years. If you’ve bought a car here in the last decade, there’s a good chance it was from Kevin – he’s the one who refers to his Corvette as his “firstborn.”

    Kevin lives in Monroe, MI with his amazing wife Julie and their beloved Pit Bull-Coonhound mix, Milo—who’s definitely the boss of the house. He got his start back in the ’90s and early 2000s, co-owning multiple Champions Gym locations in the Ann Arbor area – a passion project spurred by his love for competing in bodybuilding competitions in the 80’s.  He proudly flexed his way to the Top 10 in a NPC Bodybuilding Competition. He was even sponsored by Dominos!

    But don’t let the muscles fool you—Kevin has retired his favorite dumbbells and is a total softie for classic cars, especially his prized yellow 1975 Corvette Stingray. It’s his baby, his pride and joy, and possibly his favorite child (don’t tell Milo). He’s also a proud curator of a 185-car diecast corvette collection.

    Kevin’s customer base is massive, loyal, and growing faster than a set of perfectly executed curls. Why? Because people trust him. He knows cars. He listens. He makes the process fun, stress-free, and maybe even a little inspirational.

    On his day off, Kevin’s either fine-tuning his Corvette, crushing his honey-do list or spending time with Julie & Milo!  So if you’re looking for a no-pressure, high-energy, genuinely fun car-buying experience, ask for Kevin. Just look for the guy with the friendly smile and rock-solid handshake.

    Sales Consultant

    If you’re looking for someone to guide you through a car-buying journey with the energy of a championship point guard and the heart of your most honest friend? Then Brittany’s your MVP.  With 12 years of experience in the automotive industry and a lifelong connection to all things GM, Brittany has helping people buy cars down to a science and an art. She proudly tells customers: “I don’t sell cars. I help people buy them.”

    It’s not about high pressure or fast talk. It’s about building trust, relationships, and making sure you feel educated and empowered when making one of life’s biggest financial decisions. Brittany’s the kind of person who’ll celebrate your new ride like you just won the lottery—and then follow up to make sure you’re still in love months later.

    Before dominating the showroom, Brittany dominated the hardwood. A collegiate athlete at Southern Polytechnic State University, she was the floor general—aka point guard—running plays and breaking ankles while majoring in engineering (because why not be brilliant and athletic?). That same hustle and discipline show up in everything she does today—minus the sneakers, unless it’s casual Friday.  Off the clock, Brittany can be found reading, working out, and eating breakfast food at non-breakfast hours.  She loves watching movies and quoting them like it’s an Olympic sport. Her dream ride? A Chevy Camaro Convertible, obviously. Because just like Brittany, it’s got style, speed, and knows how to turn heads.  Come into Saline Chevrolet and ask for Brittany—you’ll leave with a car, a laugh, and probably a new friend.

    While he’s new to the Saline Chevrolet team, Connor’s not new to the game.  We sell foreign imports too – Connor’s our foreign car whisperer—if it’s sleek, fast, or makes a noise that could wake the neighbors, he’s into it. Although he sells Chevys, he dreams in Italian revs and British body lines. His all-time favorite? The Lotus Evora.

    When Connor’s not helping folks find their perfect ride, he’s coaching his four kids toward NHL greatness one slapshot at a time. A proud fiancé and full-time dad, Connor knows how to juggle minivans and mid-engine supercars like a pro.

    What really sets Connor apart? His heart. Before cars, Connor was a recovery counselor, helping people navigate real challenges. That experience gave him a rare superpower: the ability to truly connect with people. He doesn’t just sell cars—he listens, understands, and finds exactly what fits your life, your family, and your dreams.

    Lori Bower

    Service Consultant

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to grow up surrounded by engines, wrenches, and race cars, Lori Bower’s got the story for you. With 39 years of experience in the automotive world, Lori knows cars inside and out – from sales to service to accounting. She’s seen it all, and now, as a Service Advisor at Saline Chevrolet, she’s here to help you get your car back on the road with ease and peace of mind.

    Born and raised in Tecumseh, Michigan and now calling Britton home, Lori’s automotive roots run deep. Growing up with her father as a service manager, cars were practically part of the family. But it wasn’t just the cars that left a lasting impression. As a young girl, she had a neighbor who was an Indy race car driver. Lori was lucky enough to sit in the driver’s seat (while the engine was off, of course!) while he worked on his racecar– a memory that sparked her love for cars and still revs her engine today.

    Lori’s favorite part of the job? Helping customers navigate tough situations and ensuring they leave with a smile on their face and confidence in their ride. Whether it’s a simple repair or something more complex, she’s your go-to person to make sure you understand the solution, feel at ease, and drive off with your worries in the rearview mirror.

    Outside of work, Lori’s all about finding balance in nature. She’s an avid bird watcher (with a soft spot for cardinals) and loves spending time outdoors. When she’s not enjoying the birds or reading her favorite Hemingway novels, you’ll find her traveling up north in Michigan, soaking up the beauty of the great outdoors. She’s also a proud pet parent to a Golden Retriever named Haley, a Chocolate Lab named Lilly, and two cats who (in her words) “keep her on her toes.”  Her favorite car? A 1969 Pontiac GTO – because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to cruise in a classic beauty like that?  So, if you’re looking for a service advisor who’s knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely cares about making your experience as smooth as possible, Lori is your person. Come in, say hi, and let her take care of you and your ride!

    Appointment Coordinator

    If you’ve ever called Saline Chevrolet to schedule your oil change, tire rotation, or that mysterious clunk-clunk noise your car is making, chances are you’ve already experienced the magic that is Maria Witucki.

    Maria has been keeping our service department running like a well-oiled machine (pun totally intended) for 7 glorious years, with 9 years of automotive wizardry under her belt. As our Service Appointment Coordinator, she’s the friendly voice on the phone that makes you feel like you’ve known her since preschool—even if you’ve never met. She’s basically the Beyoncé of booking appointments.

    What sets Maria apart? It’s not just her razor-sharp scheduling skills or her uncanny ability to remember your dog’s name—it’s her heart. She loves building relationships with our amazing customers and considers her coworkers her second family (we assume Rich and the dogs are okay with that).

    When Maria’s not working her scheduling sorcery at Saline Chevy, you’ll find her chilling with her fiancé Rich and their three adorable dogs: Mini (the boss), Brutus (the goofball), and Hunter (couch patrol). She’s a proud member of the “One More Chapter” book club (self-proclaimed), a true crime podcast junkie, and a human jukebox who loves all music—from classic rock to boy bands and everything in between.

    Want to make your service experience surprisingly fun? Call Maria. Even if your car isn’t due for anything, call her anyway. We promise she won’t mind.

    Ken got his start in the automotive business back in his junior year of high school, which means he’s been helping folks find the right parts since gas was under a buck.

    With a legendary reputation, a loyal customer base, and more parts knowledge than the GM database itself, Ken is your go-to guy if you want the job done right — and with a few good laughs along the way.  Come by Saline Chevrolet and meet Ken!
