Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers

     Industries in the Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers Sub-Section retail motor vehicles and parts from fixed point-of-sale locations. Establishments in this Sub-Section 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 Sub-Section 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.
