441: Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers
Industries in the Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers subsector retail
motor vehicle and parts merchandise from fixed point-of-sale locations.
Establishments in this subsector typically operate from a showroom
and/or an open lot where the vehicles are on display. The display of
vehicles and the related parts require little by way of display
equipment. The personnel generally include both the sales and sales
support staff familiar with the requirements for registering and
financing a vehicle as well as a staff of parts experts and mechanics
trained to provide repair and maintenance services for the vehicles.
Specific industries have been included in this subsector to identify
the type of vehicle being retailed.
Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods, such as medium and
heavy-duty trucks, are always included in wholesale trade. These goods
are virtually never sold through retail methods.
