    I somehow doubt it, I work a few blocks away from it and I haven't heard anything.

    Miller Hill Chrysler Jeep Mazda Subaru seems to a decent sized operation that sells a lot of Subarus in Duluth. I don't forsee them closing anytime soon.

    Parts is better now that the Chrysler guys are gone. I know they cut peoples hours in the service department
    but it seemed like people volunteered so nobody got laid off.

    It is now just subaru. They dropped Jeep and Chrysler almost 8 months ago. Maybe that is what you heard?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did close, just on the fact that there is a lot of A..holes that work there.... I know there has been multiple times that people go in there to buy a new car, and when they talk to one of the sales man they just decide to leave when the sales man says "I don't you can afford this!"

    Their parts department does suck ass and I've heard they're rather clueless in service as well.

    In spite of it all, they do sell a ton of Subarus out of there. I visit their lot at least once every three weeks or so and the past few times I've noticed their new inventory has been selling fast and their used Subarus don't often stick around long.

    There is one pure Subaru guy in the parts dept but I can never remember his name.

    I really enjoyed when I stopped in right after getting my car and I went up to the parts counter and asked " Can I get a WRB touch-up paint please?" The guy looked at me and said, "whats it for...?" I asked him if that was a serious question and got no answer. then he asked for my vin#, I wanted to punch him in the face... IDIOT
