Robert DeBell represents something increasingly rare in the automotive industry: a career built entirely on doing the work the right way, every single day, for 35 years. As Business Manager at Denny Menholt Honda, Bob has delivered top customer satisfaction in F&I and sales management across four major brands, a testament to his adaptability, his consistency, and his passion for serving every customer at the highest level.
What defines Bob is not just his tenure, but his refusal to stop growing. He stays current on compliance, technology trends, and best practices, trains every new staff member who comes through the door, and ensures that everyone at the dealership, from detailers to the general manager, understands what professional excellence looks like. His enthusiasm for the job is contagious in the very best way.
Colleagues describe Bob as one of the finest closers and F&I professionals in the industry, and his training legacy speaks for itself: many of the people he has mentored over the years are now in leadership roles at dealerships across the country. His standards are high and his heart is in it, and after 35 years, that combination still shows every day. CBT News is proud to honor Robert DeBell as a Remarkable Leader in F&I.
