Automotive Manufactures Site Control - What is it?
Unfortunately these are trying times for many domestic automobile dealers for a number of reasons. The depth of the problems has much to do with the brand, the market and the dealers' personal situation. For many, losses or a lack of profits is starting to take its toll not just on the bottom line but on the operators and their families, their relationship with the factory and their employees. I have some examples that, unless witnessed, can be hard to appreciate. Hopefully my description will shed light where it is needed, understanding where it must and empathy where it should.

Is the U.S. Government or a competitor in charge of the Congressional hearings involving Toyota
