Thread: McCrackin Ford Closing???

  1. #1

    McCrackin Ford Closing???

    Anyone else heard anything about this? I heard from a friend that they sold their franchise back to Ford and their property to Walmart.

    From what I understand Timmy's been running the show for a long time. Robert's still involved and pulls the high up strings, but Tim is the go to guy and the voice and face of the dealership. And Shult's on Rt8 is gone? I didn't hear about that one.

    Like the dust in the wind....FORD shut them down and supposidly looking to close 3 more in the metro area so maybe mccrackin should have sold instead of risking being shut down


    6 techs went to the wexford store

    Ford didn't shut down the route 8 store, Shultz did it on thier own. And yes there will be 3 less metro Ford dealers in the area soon.

    MCCRACKIN SHOULD SHUT DOWN THEY ARE RIP OFF LIARS AS FAR AS i AM CONCERNED I heard sturman and mccrackin also. I know mccrackin has had many complaints to Ford though. Something like a few hundred dealers nationwide are closing. Pa I think has the most going though not sure how well it will be but I get x plan so I hope they close the rip offs down.<<<<<<my rant
