Life after the car business
http://www.yelp.com/biz/olde-port-co...nce-portsmouth
If you read the newest post, it says a lot about an ex car guy and how he feels about his business and customers. I'm sure Ralph was EXACTLY the same in his dealership dealings. Its a shame we lose this caliber of people in our dealership family. I personally feel great that Ralph and his son are enjoying life!!!!!! |

That's cool - I really enjoyed reading the comment dated 01/23/11.
For those who are not up to speed, the business evaluated in the link Steve listed is owned by our member Ralph (Troy Allen) and his son. For those who enjoyed reading Ralph's posts while he was here you'll likely get a smile when you read about a "super super nice" owner who gives change in two dollar bills and one dollar coins if requested. As I recall, this is one of two businesses Troy purchased since closing his Chrysler dealership. It's great to hear that he's still treating his customers well and he's found happiness in a post-Chrysler world. |

Hopefully the business is still viable and Ralph (Troy) just got tired of updating a Facebook page that didn't really impact his business. (I think that's the case for a lot of small businesses that use Facebook - it can result in a low ROI when you factor in all the time it takes to keep a page current.) The other reason I'm concerned is I remember the thread we had paying tribute to Troy got a lot of hits for a short period of time about a year ago. I remember thinking at the time it must have been from people who were doing a Google Search looking for information about Troy. |
