The US government has nothing to do with what is going on with franchises or dealers on Hawaii.
Last May, Island Chevrolet simply closed their doors, although the timing was bad (good for them) as it appeared they were a victim of GM's closing of franchises. There were many, many vehicle owners screwed over by Island Chevrolet when that happened; some cars were in the middle of repairs. Other people had ordered parts - paid for in advance - and never got them. Big Island Chevrolet (Saturn of Honolulu) performed many repairs for free to these people from Kona and Hilo - they never got reimbursement from GM for that. They also honored parts receipts and re-ordered parts, again for free, for people.
I am concerned that the same will happen to Big Island Toyota when they try to get reimbursement from GM warranties.
