A ClassicLegac y

At the early age of seven, Tiffany Sebastian opened her first business, an honor system candy store in the corner of her dad’s company. From auto to real estate development to farm-to-table concepts and back to the auto industry, Tiffany has spent a lifetime in the business world. Today, Tiffany and her husband Jeff own Classic Chevy Sugar Land and Classic Chevy HWY 6. “It’s a beautiful thing to be an entrepreneur together with my husband,” says Tiffany.
Classic dealerships are NOT your typical dealerships. The famous Classic slogan, “Relax, and enjoy the difference,” means everyone is treated like family. Tiffany and Jeff bring this relaxed environment to the Sugar Land/Houston area. Tiffany says, “We are so blessed to be part of the Classic family of dealers founded by the Texas Automobile Dealers Association’s 2023 Legends award winner.”
“I’ve been in the auto industry for 26 years,” continues Tiffany. “Buying a car is the 2nd largest purchase most people will make in their lifetime (homes are first). Allowing us to be a part of that process is an honor. Our job is to help you decide what you actually need, assist you through the process, and make sure we are available to help after the sale. To us it’s much more than just a sale, it’s after the sale that makes the difference. We genuinely care about you and your family. We are here for you.”
“Jeff and I also take great pride in hand selecting the people that work with us. We look for the Classic qualities of integrity, honesty, and compassion in every person we hire.” Classic Chevy Sugar Land and HWY 6 employ more than 400 individuals in our community. Nearly two years ago, Tiffany and Jeff launched Carbingo. “Inventory was short,” explains Tiffany. “We had to adjust to the demands. At Carbingo, our daughter Alivia plays a key role in purchasing people’s vehicles, allowing our dealerships to have an ample supply of pre-owned inventory for our community. Alivia enjoys learning all of the aspects of the different departments at the dealership. We are happy to have her here with us, so she too can accommodate our customers in the same way that we do in the future. My dad always taught me that if you work hard, do the right thing and take care of people, amazing things will happen. I try to always keep that mindset, and I’m passing it on to my children.”
What’s next for this entrepreneurial super couple? “I can’t say yet,” laughs Tiffany. “But we do have something exciting coming soon! Stay tuned!”
