I would say G&W are the people who are benifiting the most by the dealer brand changes in the Southeast USA, and I think it is great. I remember that there was a string of dealership takeovers that really screwed over the employees [the way it happens when Crown inc takes over a local owned dealership] and then G&W took over the clark dealer in Greenville Spartenburg, and took care of all the employees who stayed (as I understand it, they kept their seniority and vacation time and pay scale, some even got more vacation time). that seemed to reset the scale/raise the bar, so to speak. Then they became the cat dealer when Liftone "jumped ship".
And now they are expanding into even more terrortory. While I no longer work for them and have not worked for them for a good number of years, I wish them every bit of good luck.
They are good people in my book, I have and would recomend anyone who wants to work hard and try to succeed to consider their employment.
