Re: END OF THE LINE

Doug and his wife Joanne ( who just passed away 2 years ago) were like second parents to me. I spent every day for 9 years with them. Him and I started a landscape company company of all things. But my family has a long line of people in the auto business so I decided to go to work for my father ...

Re: END OF THE LINE

Meet Mr Dan Tobin at his Pontiac store in Ohio several years ago when we were there for a Pontiac Vibe club meeting and show. He was a very nice guy, I could see him giving you a chance.

Re: END OF THE LINE

Congrats! When working for Jim and Mike Fagan, did you ever come across a man named Doug Fisher?

YES, I did and wow "flashback" I had forgotten the name, he worked with the service advisors as I recall and I left out an outstanding gentleman who opened up my insight to management more, Bob ...

END OF THE LINE

Re: Lanter Delivery is killing me

Hey folks, I like to eat, wheat harvest is over but JD parts are important, let the highest bidder get the first priority. GM needs to step up to the plate, but do they really care that much about a captive audience? I mean is NAPA or your AC Delco WD gonna have a grille and door handle for a Volt?

Re: Odd request - older Buick dealers

Head over to a church on sunday morning, catch some sweet little elderly lady getting out of her Regal and ask her if you can borrow her owners manual for an hour while she is in church, then take it to the dealership and make a copy for your use. Give her a free car wash at the store for her ...
