Dealer Insider with Ashlee Church

Susan sits down with GM Ashlee Church — a third generation automotive professional.

This episode of Dealer Insider brings you insights from a Ashlee Church, the general manager of Volkswagen of Marion in Marion, Illinois.

Publisher Susan Givens talks with Ashlee about her background in the auto industry, the culture of VW of Marion and industry trends, such as the inventory shortage.

However, Ashlee thinks auto dealers should be educating customers that they are still selling cars — even if the community doesn’t see any vehicles on the lot.
