 |
John Elway may have retired, but don't think that Burt Automotive Network has stopped trying to sack him. In Denver, Burt goes head-to-head with the John Elway AutoNation USA dealerships once owned (and still named for) the former Broncos star. Burt operates eight dealerships in Colorado that sell new passenger vehicles from DaimlerChrysler, GM, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, and Ford. It also sells commercial trucks and used cars and offers parts and repair services. Burt, owned by CEO Lloyd G. Chavez, is one of the largest Hispanic-owned businesses in America. A salesman with Burt since 1950, Chavez became the majority owner in 1982 and bought the rest of the company in 1987.
