My Dealer In Anchorage Closed: What Do I Do?
Posted March 23, 2011 12:00 PM
New car dealership closings are all over the news. Nearly 800 Chrysler dealerships canceled. About 1,100 GM dealers’ contracts will not be renewed after October 2010. And record numbers are just shutting down because they aren’t selling enough cars and trucks to stay in business.
It’s estimated that some 40,000 dealership service bays could be taken out of service in the next year or so.
Of course, this is a tragedy for those who work at our local Anchorage dealerships and the owners that risk losing much of their life’s work. Our Anchorage communities will lose some of our best corporate citizens. Think of all the youth sports team, service clubs and Anchorage community events that have been sponsored by our local new car dealers.
