Is Park Place Porsche tanking??

What is going on at Park Place Porsche, it seems like all the knowledgably managers, advisors and techs are leaving?? My advisor (Steve) is gone, when I ask to speak to the service manager a different guy comes out and tells me Chuck (the service director) is gone, also 2 techs, 1 that has been there for 14 years and a restoration specialist, gone. Now I am looking for another place to service my car, possibly an independent.

Any help??

Pay cuts , demotions.and layoffs are norm at most offices and business in my region -including Porsche . So it's not just you local dealership .

I am not quite certain if upper management is simply capitalizing on the "down economy" to tap into employee despair or if things really are that slow . My guess is the truth is somewhere in between .

Either way the job moves are visible and as a car owner I don't blame you for wondering why some of these good guys are the first ones to be unemployed .

What I think it does is shake the confidence of the customer buying a car at a dealership who does not stand behind their own respected employees in tough tkmes .

Park Place is doing great from what I hear. It's Boardwalk in Plano that is hurting right now!

Has Chuck really left Park Place? He is a good guy! This might change my decision on where I service my car from now on!

chevelle you must be confusing me with someone else, I don't own a turbo. There's obviously something underlying going on there. Sounds like you are defending your place of employement.
