My sales guy came in yesterday and told us the route is done because his numbers were below Snap Ons goals.He has 25 mechanic and body shops that have shut down in the last year on his route.We now have no tool vendors in my area.Mac disappered 3 years ago Matco doesn’t have any inventory on his truck and sears is and hour away.It is not going to get any better anytime soon from what i can see.last week one of the bigger ford dealers sent everyone home and shuttered the place up 35 employees out of work.
AnonymousOctober 30, 2008 at 10:09 pm #11696Ya, tough times… Theirs been a few closures around here too. One of the biggest Chrysler dealerships closed their doors not long ago around here. I find Matco is getting more popular in my area than snap-on too.
October 31, 2008 at 1:18 am #11697your gonna find more dealers closing. gm chrysler and ford. one of the salesmen from the local ford dealer said they are going to cut back on the dealerships. they are trying to follow toyota’s model. he said there are 2000 toyota dealers in the usa and 4000 ford dealers and toyota outsells ford. Also with the talk of GM wanting to buy out chrysler that will result in even more closures. In the end though it might be better for everyone, kinda like having to many bodyshops is bad(except for the ins co.). it will just be a little rough getting there
