Mangle Chevrolet keeps large Inventory through strike
service;
"Wg've got plenty of inventory
coming in and already had a lot
whe(L*the strike began,* Mid Bob
GrooA*. CEO at Triangle Chevrolet.
"We JIad a pretty good inventory
already and still have *98 and *99
pickups, Tahoes and cars. We actu-
ally have '20 to 25 Silveradoes here
right-now."
GgRpns Mid Triangle had already
beefed up their used car inventory
and asm got some fantastic trade-
ins, so their used car complement is
at its .best, too.
"We even went to teh factory and
picked; up some additional program
cars,^ he added. "We have a lot of
very good merchandise in the used
car side, and plenty of new cars. I
think the perception might have been
that we wouldn't, but they are defi-
nitely here."
Grooms added that the business
has obtained some outstanding con-
version vans through trade-ins, and
they're priced to sell. ‘Our profits
really didn't change during the
strike,” he said.
"The markups didn't change either.
We are always fair to our customers.
We make a fair profit, and our cus-
tomers expect and get a fair deal.
It's the way we do business at
Triangle Chevrolet.
"We count on repeat business, and
to get that, you have to do things
fairly," Grooms added.
Since taking over the dealership
and changing the name. Grooms said
some changes have been made for
the better.
"We're upgrading our service
department. We've almost doubled
our service staff and have extended
our service hours from 8 a.m. 'til 9
p.m., including Saturdays." he said.
"We're going to be the best we can
for our customers' convenience."
Triangle Chevrolet is located at
4700 Hwy. 73, Port Arthur. Call

Nfijht lights a bright idea at Orange Auto Center -§||j^ p“5rmKE is OVER!!?
Twtf‘ things affected busi-
ness at Orange Auto Center
last month, according to Clay
Higgins, general manager.
One jvas the incessant heat,
and the.other was the mistak-
en impression that because of
the GM stirke, they wouldn't
have dnough inventory.
"What we did to correct the
heat problem was put in high
tech lights outside and change
the tygufs from 9 to 9, so peo-
ple could shop at night when
it's cooler," Higgins said.
"As for the inventory,
we've got it! We were a new
dealership and already had a
special allocation in the
pipeline before the strike
started," he noted, adding,
"We have a huge inventory of
'98 cars, and we have '99
Suburbans and trucks. You
should come see these '99
Sierra Classics."
Higgins said the prices are
going to be a "blowout" on
the '98s at Orange Auto
Center.
"We have plenty of inven-
tory and great incentives like
excellent rebates, and of
course, the incredibly low
interest rates right now,"
Higgins explained. "We are
going to keep a full sales staff
working during the later
hours to take care of every-
one, so our customers can get
exactly what they want with-
out having to stand around in
the heat of the sun.”
The strike, Higgins said, is
over. Orange Auto Center has
the GM cars and trucks, and
they are priced to sell when
it's cool enough to come
check them out comfortably.
