Store redos still bring iffy returns: NADA will keep pressure on factories to slow down

摘要

With industry sales getting better, manufacturers' facility renovation programs aren't as painful for dealers as they were a year ago. But expansive new-dealership buildings still aren't worth the millions of dollars dealers invest in them, a National Automobile Dealership Association study concludes. Also, dealers and manufacturers need to be more mindful that the facilities created today be flexible enough to support the requirements of the dealership of the future, study author Glenn Mercer said. Mercer was scheduled to reveal study results at this past weekend's NADA convention in Orlando.
