Discussion:
Duelling Dealerships

Does anyone (in the US) have anything positive to say about manufacturers who have more than one dealership representing them in the same city? I see one brand doing this now and both dealers are battling to retain their share of the business; if anyone is winning it would be the end users: "Place number one can sell me the same starter for such and such, can you beat that??" Please tell me this is not a new trend we are seeing that will pattern lift truck dealerships after automobile dealerships. Please....life is hard enough without this!

There is nothing positive that can come out of it.
That was (or is) TCM's business philosophy. It seems like they had about 5 different dealers covering the Philadelphia area at one time.
