Auto Dealerships
A car dealership or vehicle local distribution is a business that sells new or used cars at the retail level, based on a dealership contract with an automaker or its sales subsidiary. It employs automobile salespeople to sell their automotive vehicles. It may also provide maintenance services for cars, and employ automotive technicians to stock and sell spare automobile parts and process warranty claims. In 2013, the U.S. new car dealers market was close to $715 billion and the used car dealers industry almost $89 billion.[1]
Car dealerships were traditionally large lots located out of town or on the edge of town centres and which relied on the skills of sales staff to sell vehicles. However, that model has begun to change and a number of automotive manufacturers have shifted the focus of their franchised retailers on to branding and technology.BMW has moved to create a standard look for its dealerships around the world and to introduce ‘product geniuses’ to liaise with customers., [2][3] Audi has experimented with a hi-tech showroom that allows customers to configure and experience cars on 1:1 scale digital screens,[4][5] while Mercedes-Benz has opened city centre brand stores to showcase its vehicles[6] and Tesla Motors has opened city centre galleries where prospective customers can view cars that can only be ordered online.,[7][8]
Shillington
Shillington is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States with a population of 5,273 at the 2010 census[1] nestled amongst other suburbs outside Reading. It is perhaps best known for being the location of the Homestead to Pennsylvania’s First Governor, Thomas Mifflin.[2]
Shillington began in 1860 as part of Cumru Township, when local landowner and borough namesake Samuel Shilling sold some of his lots for residences. The area had an inn, originally built in 1762, called the Three Mile House because it was 3 miles (5 km) from Reading on the Lancaster Pike. The inn was a popular stop for farmers going to the city’s markets, and later it sat near a horse racing track built by Aaron Einstein in 1868. A post office opened in Shillington in 1884. On August 18, 1908, the Quarter Session Court officially incorporated the borough of Shillington as a separate municipality from Cumru Township with a population of 450.[3]Later that year Shillington elected its first official, Adam Rollman, as chief burgess. Borough council meetings were held in various locations over the years until the present town hall was completed in 1932.[3]
