Two of the big three automakers have recently announced plans to close dealerships while Ford Motor Company has announced no such plans. Chuck Vander Waal is the owner of Ulrich Motor Company in Pella. Vander Waal say while this is one of the most difficult times he’s seen in the auto industry, he believes the Ford Motor Company is well-positioned for the future. As a dealer, Vander Waal says the service aspect has become even more important as people delay new vehicle purchases.
