"This is another little industry in this
town," Ken said. He is very proud of the
employees at the dealership, and the service
they provide to Goderich and beyond.
That customer service is absolutely criti-
cal in maintaining the trust and business of
the community they call home, he said. By
going the extra mile, McGee Motors has set
itself apart from many GM dealerships that
are facing closure as the automaker faces the
fate of the economic times.
People remember good service, and the
amount of repeat business, either sales or
service, keeps the Goderich dealership flow-

Alvin gave an example from his early
days, when selling a vehicle often meant
driving it out to the customer's house.
Sent out on a prank sales call, Alvin re-
called stopping by a farm with a truck only
to Lind there was no driveway, no road and
that the farmer had clearly been using a
horse and buggy.
However, the farmer's daughter pointed
Alvin to where her father was working in
the barn. After a quick talk, it was clear he

"I ended up with the manure fork, and he

Regardless of the changes to technology,
products or even the industry itself, Ken said
McGee Motors will always be a place where
business is more than just dollars and cents.
"Today, even though we have to sell
more cars and trucks, there is still a' place
for person-to-person contact and customer
loyalty," he said.
That personal touch is one that will con-
tinue to set McGee Motors apart as not just a
place to buy cars, but a place to feel like one
of the family for generations to come.
