Default Re: Dealers will actually decline our business given the chance

My thought is if they don't want to be in the email game that is perfectly acceptable - they should simply decline to provide an email address/online request form; but if they advertise on their websites that you can contact them through their online contact form, they need to review and reply to them. To me that's just good business, Crossfire or Honda or BMW or Pinto!

(Also all of my e-mail contacts were through websites belonging to the local dealers, not the cookie cutter email link through chrysler.com).

Thanks.
Good point. I have never seen a dealer ad that stated email requests were taken for service work but then again, I never looked.
