GEORGETOWN CHRYSLER 336 GUELPH ST., GEORGETOWN 905-877-0149 GEORGETOWNCHRYSLER.COM YOU KNOW, our loyal readership keep telling me their preference in automotive advertising is when I speak directly to you. Whether it be corny poems, lightweight business and social commentary or the occasional peak under the tent pertaining to the inner workings of a car dealership. Well then, Kim and I came to town in 1993 to build a business, start and raise a family. We knew no one. Most of our current friends were customers first. Proudly, I can boast that the few who moved away still come back for purchases or time their family visits around their vehicles service intervals. It becomes a trade-off in a sense because many Halton Hills newcomers still find comfort in frequenting familiar non-local establishments where they know exactly where the niblets are and the butcher theyve known for 10 years gives them the perfect cut every time. Thats ok, we the locally owned and operated businesses of Halton Hills undertake this as a challenge (not a problem) to earn the newbies business, and we will! The second wave of great friendships were sports related. Names will be printed so Ill warn them prior to publishing in a forthcoming ad. The overwhelming thrust to me by friends, neighbours and first time buyers is this. LOOK PAUL if we want to know what Chryslers, Dodges and Jeeps are selling for well either surf or glance at the Toronto dailies. I then hear look after me and Im yours. Then, like another balding Canadian I yell DEAL. Finally folks, the buzz in the auto industry has been the new Chryslers recruitment of the Best of the Best talent in our industry. The founder and CEO of our parent company has brought in Bob Nardelli the former head of Home Depot (ever heard of them?), Jim Press, Toyotas top man in North America as Vice-chair and President (great steal), Phil Murtaugh, formally head of GM Asia (huge gain) and Deborah Wahl Meyer (all star marketing whiz) from Lexus. WOW! Its like George Steinbrenner paying for top players at their positions. Meanwhile, back at the ranch (336 Guelph Street) we will do the same. Some of our top talent was poached when we became the top selling dealership in Halton Hills. In some cases we havent adequately filled the void. Stay tuned.
