Bill Heard closes car dealership; 650 locals unemployed

HOUSTON, TX - The nation's largest Chevrolet dealer, Bill Heard, stopped selling cars Wednesday afternoon, which means bankruptcy may not be far behind. The company closed its dealership in Sugar Land and 11 others around the country.

"It would not surprise me if there were shenanigan's going on. Ultimately I think that is going to be the root of this. GM did not just wake up one day and decide to pull financing on the number one Chevrolet dealer in the United States, said Dan Parsons, Better Business Bureau.

Bill Heard has a history of unfair business practices to its customers. Over the years the company has been forced to pay fines in several states, and more legal actions were filed just last week in Georgia.

Bill Heard went out of bussiness for one reason; they were criminals. When a deal went dry they would take the trade-in car. When they sold a car at a good price they would go to the owner's house in the middle of the night and steal it.

all of my life I have bought "American " made cars and trucks because I thought I was being suportive of my fellow countrymen just like millions of other americans, now all you are doing by buying one of the big three is suporting the comunist union leaders and the polititions they prop up for election. I cant wait for toyota to offer a full size turbo diesel pickup that will be the last nail in the coffin.

The recession didn't cause this. The poor business practices and not paying their floorplan on time caused this.
