Bastrop, Tx–The city’s Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep dealer won’t be among the hundreds of Dodge showrooms which will close June 9 as the Detroit automaker goes through bankruptcy proceedings in Federal courts. That’s the news being reported Monday by Bastrop Community Access Television (Time Warner cable channel 10 in Bastrop).
BCAT reporter Carolyn Banks spoke Monday with Russell Waters, general manager at the Benny Boyd dealership. Waters said the Bastrop economy remains robust and he expects the Benny Boyd showroom and service department to continue serving Central Texas customers for many years to come.
Under Chrysler’s restructuring plan, more than 700 dealers across the US are slated to close this week.
