Driving bolts with Grant Dixton at GM's Fairfax Assembly

At Fairfax Assembly, every vehicle begins with the people on the plant floor – a team of skilled manufacturers committed to building the vehicles our customers love, with safety and quality guiding every step.

Recently, Grant Dixton, chief legal and public policy officer, spent a day at Fairfax to experience plant operations firsthand. At each station, team members guided him through standardized work, safety protocols and quality checks that support the production process and help ensure vehicles meet GM standards.

During his visit, Grant followed the process from stamping through final line and heard directly from team members about their work and expertise. Check out the video below for a look at his day on the line.

For Grant, the most rewarding part of the day wasn’t just seeing how the vehicles are assembled—it was learning from the people who make it happen.

“What stood out to me was the care and precision the team brings to building vehicles for people who rely on them,” Grant said. “I’m grateful to the Fairfax team for sharing their expertise and welcoming me into their workplace.”
