There is no way possible that this can happen! If you close Fredricks Dodge you are closing not only on of the best dealers that ever has been there for the Mopar brand, but a store that has made you “MOPAR” live as long as you have.

Bob has been there for not only his customers, but folks that purchased cars fom other stores, people that were so frustrated they were ready to buy a Honda or Toyota as a result of poor customer service from Dodge and or the other selling dealers.

But Bob was able to comunicate with the correct parties to keep folks from jumping ship. Fredricks Dodge is also so responsible for product imput, feedback, and helping 1000s of others to purchase a Mopar rather than look else where.

If you had more dealers Like Bob Fredricks you would not be in the situation you are in today. It is that simple!

LOOK CHRYSLER, I understand you are going through hard times, many are, but this dealership in NO WAY needs to be cut. if you do that, even though I worked for GM for 18 years, and drive all Mopar products, I will never again buy a darn thing from you.

I am sure that this goes for 1000s of our folks on many a Mopar Internet Bulliten board. So listen up and get Fredricks Dodge off this chop list and back in the game. You are cutting your own throat if you do not!

Closing Frederick Dodge ?
As someone that drove 1600 miles round trip to purchase from this dealership, I can tell you that Chrysler has made yet another financial mistake. Bob Federick has done more for Chysler than just sell cars. He has restored my faith in American cars by delivering on his word. Something that is very hard to come by in these financially tumultuous times. Every dealership in my home state was busy gouging the customer and hurting a struggling company that deperately needed to sell cars. It was so sad to see dealers(that are not on your list)charging $10,000 over invoice for Challengers, making customers confused,upset and even angry that these dealers were more interested in their time honored practice of price gouging while the corporation sank into bankruptcy. Amazing….
When will this company make wiser choices ?

Frederick CDJ (Boardman, OH) on the closure list must be a mistake. If you read how many people Bob has delivered Challengers to on just the challengertalk.com forums, it would have to be more than any other dealer. At least his is the most famous at the moment. This is like putting Grand-Spaulding Dodge on the list at the height of it’s days. think again, Frederick’s Dodge brings in a boatload of respect for Chrysler when it is needing it the most. Bob and the gang represent to most of us the integrity that auotmobile companies need the most. Think again and then again before you lose one of your best assets. Frederick CDJ RULES!!!!

I can’t believe that Chrysler wants to close down Fredericks. Bob Frederick is the ONLY dealer that I have spoken to in my pursuit of purchasing a Challenger that was both honest and fair. I was just working out a deal with him when this mess happened. In fact, if not for Bob, I would probably have already changed my mind to another car given all the frustration that I have had to deal with. Numbers are one way to make these decisions but reputation is going to mean a lot more coming out of Bankruptcy. If consumers don’t have confidence in the brand anymore and the only dealers left are sheisters, then you are going to still have a dog on your hand. Bean counters got you into this mess, don’t let them keep digging the hole. If you actually go through and cut out a dealer like Fredericks from the list, then, as a company, you have just shown the world how you are making decisions as the “new Chrysler”. And if that’s the direction, I don’t want any part of it.

Mike,

I have a great deal of respect for you and the great products that Chrysler makes.

What the heck are the bean counters doing? Bob is one of the best marketing tools Chrysler has. I live in Idaho and I have a Challenger Classic on order with Bob!!!!

Bob has been one of your best Ambassadors.

I don’t know how much pull you have but I sure hope you can help Bob out.

I hope Chrysler reconsiders their decision!
