I had read in a press release that they would re-open PARTS manufacturing if stocks were running out and complaints were filed. In terms of vehicles, I'm afraid we're on our own. Our stock is depleted as it is, and I just got another Wrangler out
In terms of customer perception, I have to say, I've had a few customers come in and ask me, right after I shook their hand and introduced myself, are we going to be here when it comes time for his/her first oil change? It's a tough spot as a salesman, as has been noted, there truly HASN'T been a strong, consistent message from anyone regarding the answer until the past week or so. I have done my best to re-assure my current and potential future customers, but traffic is down notably. Here's to hoping...
