Garry Small Saab of Portland, Oregon, a Saab History advertiser since the fall of 2007, is now seeing their main competitor, Kuni Saab, close today. This means that all Kuni Saab customers can continue to get service and parts right in the same region, without any problems.
Garry Small also recently extended a welcome to the customers of Carter Saab of Seattle, who also closed their doors in September of 2008.
At this point, Garry Small Saab is the premier exclusive Saab dealership in the entire Pacific Northwest region, so I wish them well in taking on even more customers, this time from their immediate area.
With a number of new products to be introduced this year such as the Saab 9-3x, next generation 9-5 and then 9-4x, I see them in a great position to take full advantage of this great sales opportunity as well, now with an explosive growth of new customers!
Here is the piece from the local television channel 12 in Beaverton, Oregon who first mentioned this closing:
Kuni’s Cadillac Saab Dealership To Close
POSTED: 10:35 am PST February 6, 2009
BEAVERTON, Ore. — Kuni Automotive announced Friday that it will close its Cadillac Saab dealership in Beaverton.
The dealership, located on Cedar Hills Boulevard, will close its sales, service and parts operation on Saturday. The Kuni Collision Center will stay open at the same address and expand its operation.
A statement from Kuni Automotive said the company plans to pursue redevelopment opportunities for the dealership’s land and buildings.
Greg Goodwin, Kuni’s CEO, said the closure comes as a result of discussions with General Motors and the automaker’s consolidation of its existing dealer network. Goodwin said the decision won’t have any effect on any of the other dealerships in the Portland region.
It’s unknown how many jobs will be lost because of the Cadillac Saab dealership’s closure.
Kuni owns 10 other automotive dealerships, including Lexus of Portland, Kuni BMW and smart Center Portland.
