Gov. Newsom: Please declare Auto Dealerships as Essential Businesses during the lockdown

It’s time. With social distancing AND face masks. Let them earn their living.

PLEASE give us a chance to not lose everything we've worked for. We are essential to people needing vehicles and new car dealers should not be permitted to put all the small independent used vehicle dealers out of business Because they have a repair element & large Internet depts. It is easy for small independent dealers to take the necessary steps with their small staff to sanitize, wear masks, meet by appointment, etc to keep everyone safe and minimize spread.
