The advent of vehicle purchases online through social media and websites is growing, but local dealerships are finding consumers are still depending on them for advice when it comes time to buy.  Pete Beane, President and owner of Jorns Chevrolet in Kewaunee, says consumers still are looking directly to automobile dealers to find the right vehicle. 

Beane says the automotive industry is a fun business to be involved in and has changed greatly over his 35-year career.   A recent Harris Poll revealed that respondents said they would not want to buy a vehicle without a dealership involved and sales consultants have the expertise to help people navigate the complex vehicle buying process.
