The one I work for escaped the axe but several close to us (that we had good standing relationships with) are lost. It won't necessarily kill them though. Some have multiple franchises and a few others will pick up a new franchise, presumably foreign. Friend of mine is a service writer for Jim Clark in Lawrence, and they got cut. He doubts that he will have a job after june 9. Should be noted that it is not final yet. One or two may be added or removed from "the list".
Rumor has it GM will announce its cuts tomorrow. We also have GMC so we got all them fingers crossed! They are cutting a greater percentage than chrysler. We thought the process overall was kind of "cold shoulder" but what do we know? They sent everyone a certified letter regardless of whether or not you get cut, and the list was public before half of us got the letters (us included). NO ONE knew before today, and in 3 weeks the cut ones are completely cut off with no returning of any inventory, parts, or special tools. I wonder how many trucks are going to be "parked" through the front of their headquarters......
We have been here half a century and always in good standing.
