On the Earl Standard

On My Own Car Shopping and The Earl Standard.

I had the pleasure of working with a true professional, Earl Sklar at Mercedes of Westmont on a few transactions in a row.

We were colleagues at AutoNation, and although he knew I know my way around the car business, he offered deliberate attention to ensure I understood every feature on this new vehicle.

Then I was back to the drawing board after moving to Charlotte. Sadly being treated the way most customers are. Sitting there, jostled around, no straight information.

I'm in the car business. I know exactly what you're doing.
Please. Stop.

I asked if we could just lay everything out and the trickery continued.

One of my favorite people in the business is friends with a local GM. Believe it or not this person refuses to take an appointment to meet a mutual friend and industry colleague.

Such arrogance.
No surprise his staff was the most difficult to work with.

Back to Earl...I miss you. The smiles.

I found a mutual connection at a local Hendricks store and Tyler Johnson offered great help. Thank you.

It's time to do it all again. I'm hoping it can be as easy and informative as it should be.

'The Earl Standard'. Excellence.
Maybe that should be a thing.
