New Jersey In Danger of Losing 33 GM Dealers

By admin • June 15th, 2009

When a company the size of General Motors starts experiencing financial difficulties, it trickles down.

New Jersey will experience some of GM’s pain when the company close up to 33 dealerships in the state.

A document provided by General Motors to the House Energy and Commerce commitee details the planned closings.  New Jersey appears to comprise 2.5% of the total dealership closings General Motors plans for the entire country.

The document considered four criteria in the decision whether to close a dealership:

  • sales
  • customer satisfaction
  • capitalization
  • profitability

The document stated that dealerships that will be closed will have 16 months to close down their operations.

Auto dealerships in New Jersey provide a significant amount of employment, totaling greater than 55,000 jobs in a 2008 study.
