  • Setting the Record Straight About Accusations by Consumer Reports Regarding Automobile Dealer “Trick” Selling Practices
    Setting the record straight about accusations by Consumer Reports regarding automobile dealer “Trick” selling practices. The following information includes excerpts from an article entitled “Tricks of the Trade” published in Consumer Reports magazine April 2003. Consumer Reports says it has found these practices to be true at some automobile dealerships. Following each excerpt is the Fitzgerald response, which includes our comments pertaining to the specific subject addressed in the article. Mr. Remar Sutton, cited in the article, has visited Fitzgerald Auto Mall several times and we are confident that he knows that none of the “tricks” mentioned in the article are employed here—NOT NOW,NOT EVER. At Fitzgerald Auto Malls, we believe that we are entitled to defend and separate ourselves from these charges that don’t apply to us. We don’t question whether some other dealers have done this but in over 36 years in business,WE HAVE NEVER ENGAGED IN ANY OF THESE PRACTICES. It is our responsibility to explain our position on these devious practices and assure our customers that they are not allowed in our dealerships. “THE FALSE CREDIT SCORE” dealer X number of monthly payments at a high interest “The dealer checks your credit report but lies rate, then must refinance the balance of the loan…[A 1 about your credit score, telling you it is lower than client]...thought she was paying $31,000.

  • Good News, Bad News and Great News Jack Fitzgerald Gets Decisions About His GM and Chrysler Franchises
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 16, 2010 Contact Jack Fitzgerald Fitzgerald Auto Malls (301) 881-3046 Direct [email protected] Fitzgerald Auto Malls – Good News, Bad News and Great News Jack Fitzgerald Gets Decisions about his GM and Chrysler Franchises KENSINGTON, MD – JULY 1, 2010 - Jack Fitzgerald got good news, bad news, and great news this week. The good news is his Chrysler & Jeep franchises were reinstated by Chrysler in Florida. The bad news is he lost his Chrysler franchises in Maryland. The great news is Fitzgerald received such extraordinary consumer support that General Motors reinstated all his franchises without requiring arbitrations. The Florida arbitrator for his Fitzgerald Auto Mall Chrysler franchise described Jack Fitzgerald as a consumer advocate. “The Florida win is good news, and I thank our customers for coming out and supporting us,” said Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is very grateful to General Motors for listening to his customers and not forcing Fitzgerald Auto Malls through arbitration. Fitzgerald adds, “On balance, we feel this is a great victory for our customers and we appreciate and will always remember their support.” When GM and Chrysler declared bankruptcy in 2009, a new LLC was formed in the reorganization and the new executives claimed that cutting dealers was a way for manufacturers to become profitable. Affected dealerships across the United States lost their businesses overnight, but much more was lost. Employees lost their jobs and communities who looked to the local dealers as pillars of strength for charitable work and donations suffered. Fitzgerald, along with other dealers, challenged the decision. Congress enacted legislation allowing dealers to appeal the closures and request binding arbitration.

  • Automobile Dealerships Step up to the Plate and Hit a Home Run for the Chesapeake Bay
    Automobile Dealerships Step Up to the Plate and Hit a Home Run for the Chesapeake Bay The Chesapeake Bay Trust announces winners of Bay Plate sales contest for environmentally conscious car dealers FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erin Valentine, (410) 974-2941, [email protected] (Annapolis, MD) September 7, 2017 – This spring, environmentally friendly automobile dealerships, dubbed “Dealers for the Bay,” engaged in a friendly competition. The competition was called the Just Ask! Bay Plate Contest, to see who could send the most customers off their lots in vehicles sporting the Treasure the Chesapeake Bay license plate. The contest began in April 2017 at the start of the peak sales months, concluding in June. Of the close to 900 dealerships in the region, 135 signed up to participate in the contest and 28 were named as highest performers. Shockley Honda of Frederick, Maryland, emerged as the overall winner, with 64% of vehicles sold with Bay Plates, compared to 7% the prior year. “Our team had a blast with this competition,” said Bradly Smith of Shockley Honda. “We found that when you explain the great benefits of a Bay Plate to every customer, it’s not surprising how many say yes! Anything we can do to help our natural resources is a win in our book.” Funds generated from the sale of the Bay Plate are distributed by a nonprofit organization, the Chesapeake Bay Trust, through grants that fund natural resources, K-12 education, conservation, and restoration programs. Schools, students, teachers, community associations, and other organizations tap into this funding to carry out projects all across the state, in every county from the mountains to the coast.
