Sears to offer Auto Care Franchises
News reports indicate that Sears will expand their operations by offering Auto Care Franchises and they'll initially target dealerships which were closed as part of the GM and Chrysler down-sizings. For the full report - click here
To me it sounds like the idea has merit for a dealer who wants to retain his/her Service and Parts operation and still have some "branding" like a dealership with an automotive franchise. I have no idea what the fees are or whether Sears will allow a dealer to retain a used car operation at the same location? The other reason I thought this news report was interesting is it answers my question on why I had IP Addresses from Sears reading the forum. On a number of occasions there were people from Sears who were reading the threads on AutoStar and Ken Zangara - now I know why.... |
