The signs of our times are all foreboding, and the recent closure of the world's best selling Chevy dealer, Bill Heard Enterprises, is just one more notch on GM's ever tightening belt. When the dust finally settles, most of the 3,200 employees are laid off and 13 seperate stores are closing in the wake of a bad economy and a pending 50 million dollar forgery lawsuit. Apparently even the Chevy superstores like Bill Heard are not immune to the economy, and may even be suffering harder than the smaller dealerships.

It doesn't appear like this was a well planned exit from the business either, as managers were told only the day before that the store would be closing, and that they would be without jobs. Customers were told to pick up their cars from the service area, fixed or not, and people who were supposed to pick up their new cars were instead handed back their trade ins. Sounds like someone messed up real bad, and there are a lot of people who are without jobs now thanks to them. Check out
