While I am not a Chevy guy, the only Chevy/GM dealership we had in town closed it's doors unexpectedly this past week. From what I understand, it gave no notice to it's employees and just taped a sign on the door saying "Closed". Our middle daughter's boyfriend was a salesman there before being let-go a month ago. In my view, they did it to themselves, as they didn't seem to be too customer-friendly. For example, if you wanted to just test drive a new vehicle you first had to complete a credit check form. In the newspaper, the owner said the economic times and the recent ice storm did the business in. I'm not quite sure how the ice storm did any harm, as there was no structural damage to the vehicles on the lot or his buildings. He stated in the newspaper that he took the keys to the dealership to the bank and turned them over to them. Word is now that the bank is saying they have not rec'd any keys. This should prove to be interesting.
The only dealerships left in town now are the Ford (where I buy my stuff) / Nissan / Toyota places, all owned by the same company. If someone wants another brand they will have to drive about 50 miles out of town now.
