General Motors plans to strip a dealership in Amherst of its right to sell new Chevrolet vehicles despite local officials’ efforts to change GM’s mind.
Brockman Chevrolet Subaru, which has sold GM vehicles for 50 years, received a letter in mid-May stating that the dealership would lose its Chevrolet franchise. More than 1,000 other dealerships across the country got the same letter.
Unless something changes in GM’s restructuring process or the federal government’s oversight of it, the Brockman dealership, which employs about 18 people, will lose an important piece of its business by October 2010. Amherst town, county and chamber of commerce officials protested GM’s decision, to no avail yet.
“It’s really been devastating for my family,” said Kendall Brockman, general manager, whose father started the firm in 1959.
