Crabtree Jr . Updated August 2015 I was born in Greenwich, Connecticut on July 27, 1964. Although my parents just made it to the hospital, my mother often tells the story that my birth actually began in a 1964 Chrysler Imperial. I was destined to be in the automobile business. I am a third generation automobile man. My grandfather started in the business in 1928, and opened his own dealership in 1938 which marked the beginning of Crabtree Motors in New Rochelle, NY. After the untimely death of my grandfather, my father, only 26 years old, became the youngest Dodge Dealer in the Country, and continued for over 55 years in business with tremendous success until his death on February 9th, 2005. My father exposed me to the business as early as 11 years old, cleaning cars. He always told me, “we are not just in the car business, we are in the people business”, a philosophy I continue to hold today. During my high school and college years, I worked summers, and was exposed to all aspects of the business, from prep to parts, to service, then as a Salesperson and eventually a Finance Manager. My summer education in the automobile business rivaled my scholastic education. I knew from there that I wanted to be in the automobile business. After my graduation from Boston University on May 17th, 1987, I spent a year in the Chicago region as a management trainee for Toyota Motor Sales, then went on to sell cars at Crabtree Ford, and quickly became the Sales Manager. After the Dealerships in New Rochelle were sold in 1989, I came to work at Colonial Toyota. I began selling after-sales and soon became the used car Manager, and was eventually promoted to General Sales Manager. Two and 1/2 years later, I earned the General Manager Position. The Dealership was not healthy, but due to the dedicated young crew, we soon became Connecticut’s #1 volume Toyota Dealer. As early as 1993, I began to assist my father in our other operations which included Toyota of Westport and Lexus of Westport, the C.O.O position was created. In 1994, I became a 25% partner in Colonial Toyota. After my younger brother Michael’s tragic death in 2003, with tremendous emotions; my father and I increased the role of the C.O.O. position and it was here that I learned the most. In 2005, I became the President, C.E.O. and Dealer Principal of Crabtree Automotive Group, which included Toyota of Westport and Lexus of Westport, as well as 100% Owner and Dealer Principal of Colonial Toyota in Milford. As President and C.E.O. of the Westport Dealerships, my responsibilities were not only limited to the day to day operations, but I was also appointed the lead man on our decision to sell the operations. We closed in March 2008. This was the largest transaction of two dealerships in the State of CT, and the timing could not have been better. In 2007, I earned the Presidents Award, and I began a massive renovation and re-engineering of the former Colonial Toyota which is now a one of a kind, state of the art Dealership. The year 2009, was a monumental year for me in many ways. The newly constructed Colonial Toyota, made its debut, along with my "No Haggle; One Associate" sales approach. That same year, I received the Businessperson of the Year Award by The Milford Chamber of Commerce, where I currently serve on The Board of Directors. In addition, I received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2009 from the American Business Defense Advisory Council. My wife Carolyn, of 25 years and I have four daughters, Sarah 21, Morgan 20, Emily 18, and Maggie Mae 11. Most recently, I am in the process of adopting my late older brother Joseph’s twins, Michael and Kathryn, age 10. I was raised and continue to raise my children with a strong Christian value and spirituality which expands much further than just church on Sunday. We pray every evening and I consider us to be a very close knit loving family.</p></div> </div>

The road that has led me here has been a long one, filled with many experiences that have made me who I am today. I started working for Bobby Crabtree, owner of Colonial Toyota in Milford in 1997. Six months later I joined Westport Toyota working with Michael Crabtree, Bobby Crabtree’s younger brother, who sadly died in a car crash in March of 2003. Working with Michael at Toyota of Westport taught me so much! He was a great man and, I worked diligently and effectively to learn all I could from him, and it didn’t go unrewarded. I climbed the ladder from Sales to Finance Manager. After 10 years in Westport, I took my talents to the Barbarino Group as The Used Car Manager. After a short time, I moved to Acura of Milford as the Used Car Manager. Based on my strong work ethics and devotion, I was promoted to General Sales Manager. Two years later, I was approached by Colonial Toyota in Milford, and I had a chance to come back to where it all began. I am home again, back to my roots. Colonial Toyota is where I belong. My spare time is devoted to my family, with my fiancé and my four beautiful children, Dan Jr, Jamie, Ivana and Olivia. All of these experiences have been necessary to develop me as a salesman, father and the person I am today. I am very blessed and thankful to everyone who helped, educate me on my journey back home to Colonial Toyota in Milford. I look forward to helping you on your next vehicle purchase.</p></div> </div> <div class="com-our-team-staff-bio"> <div class="info-window"> <div class="info-window-header"></div> <div class="info-window-content"> <div class="staff vcard"> <div class="photo"><img src="//cdn-ds.com/media/staff/w_50/h_50/zc_3:4/-Frank-Pratts-92500.jpg" alt=" Frank Pratts" class="photo" title=" Frank Pratts" /></div> <div class="info"> <div class="position role title">General Sales Manager</div> <div class="name fn"> Frank Pratts</div> <div class="phone">203-878-7401 x 341 </div> <span class="org"><span class="value-title" title="Colonial Toyota"></span></span> <span class="adr"><span class="value-title" title="470 Boston Post Road"></span></span> <span class="url"><span class="value-title" title="http://colonialtoyotact.com"></span></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="info-window-footer"></div> </div> <div class="bio"><p>I was born in Harlem, NY, and raised in Brooklyn NY.

I graduated from Central High in 1995, and received an Associate’s Degree from Katharine Gibbs Business School in 2005. I started out in the car business at a very young age detailing cars for Westport Toyota. At the time, Westport Toyota was owned by Michael Crabtree, younger brother of Robert E Crabtree Jr, who is the sole owner of Colonial Toyota in Milford. In 2001, I decided to go into sales at Crabtree Cadillac Kia in Shelton Ct. I have worked for The Crabtree Dealerships throughout my entire career in the automotive business. The Crabtree’s are a great family, and provide the Sales Managers with continuous support and product training. Colonial Toyota in Milford, started the No Haggle One Associate in 2009, and I loved the concept. It gives the customer a relaxing unpressured experience. I really wanted to sell under that sales model, so in 2010, I joined Colonial Toyota in Milford, and I have been very happy here. When I am not at the dealership, I spend almost all of my time with my amazing son Bobby. We play all types of sports together, which gives us both a lot of pleasure. I try to stay healthy by eating right, and going to the gym on a regular basis. I love what I do, and enjoy my customers. When you are looking to buy your next car, please come see me at Colonial Toyota, or if you have questions on any of our products, new, certified, pre-owned, or even a question on servicing your car, please give me a call.

I went straight from High School into the car business, as I was so anxious to get a job and start earning my own money. In 1997, at a very young age, I became a detailer in the Colonial Toyota Prep Department. I learned as much as I could about every car I worked on, as when you are detailing you touch every part of the car. My goal was to transfer into the Sales Department. Robert E Crabtree Jr, Owner of Colonial Toyota’s younger brother Michael was in charge of Toyota of Westport and he was hiring Sales People. With the blessing of Robert, I took the Sales Position at Toyota of Westport and stayed for 13 years, until the dealership was sold in 2009. I stayed on for about a year, after the dealership was sold, but I missed working with the Crabtree’s, so in 2010, I came back to Colonial Toyota. I worked my way up to the management level, and am now a Sales Manager for Colonial Toyota in Milford. I work really hard for my customers, to insure they are getting everything they want and need in their vehicle. I spend my spare time with my family, friends, and my beautiful daughter, Chanel. I want to be your next salesperson, and once you work with me, you will want all of your future purchases to be handled by me.

In 2010, I became a silent partner in Media Synthesis Inc, a boutique agency in Ct. This agency is now operated by my son in NYC. In 2012, due to the overwhelming success of Colonial Toyota, Owner Robert E Crabtree Jr. decided to take his marketing to another level. He created a Marketing Dept within the dealership, and offered me the position of running that department. In all the years, I have spent in broadcast sales, I enjoyed working with dealerships, more than any other retailer. The energy, enthusiasm, and excitement that a car dealership thrives on, was very attractive to me. It was a win win situation to become the Marketing Director for my favorite Dealer Owner, Robert E Crabtree Jr. Colonial Toyota in Milford is a beautiful state of the art dealership nestled in lovely Milford Ct. I have 2 grown sons, a high maintenance Yorkie, and I reside in Milford Ct. I look forward to helping Colonial Toyota reach it's maximum potential.

The Courtesy, Respect and Gratitude I owe each guest, and my Confidence in My Product. My Family Car has been a Camry since the model was introduced in 1982. Come see me and drive home in the best ride of your life.</p></div> </div>

He began by working on his own cars as a teenager and spent a couple of years racing Autocross in the SCCA in a modified 98' Dodge Neon. From there his love of cars led him to working for Western Auto who was eventually bought out by the second largest parts store chain Advance Auto Parts. He managed five stores over the course of fourteen years before going to work for Curran VW in Stratford. He worked full time at VW while helping his colleague start a small used car business in Seymour. The small business grew quickly and he was soon asked to create and manage the service and reconditioning departments. After five years in the used car business, Michael chose to seek a service position closer to home which led him here at Colonial Toyota! He currently lives in West Haven with his wife and two teen aged children and enjoys bicycling, kayaking, and playing the drums.</p></div> </div>
