General Motors finally backed down and reinstated the franchise for Rowell's Garage. They tried to steamroll a local institution but 461 of you stood your ground and forced them to retreat. Keep your eyes open because we need to make sure they stick to this deal.

General Motors thinks they can ignore a sixty-six year legacy just because they want to cut costs. We need to hit that hundred mark immediately to show these corporate suits that they cannot just discard our local businesses without a fight.

They treated us like family when my car broke down on a sunday. Best mechanics around. BRING THEM BACK.

My family has bought every single truck from Rowells for decades. You dont just shut down a local institution like this. Keep them open!

66 years of service down the drain? Corporate greed at its finest. Shame on you GM.

This is ridiculous. GM needs to realize that small towns rely on these businesses. Don't take away our local garage.
