According to Unhappy Franchisee, Saturn dealers were once part of the most satisfied retail network in the auto industry. Last Thursday, Saturn dealers learned that their brand was dead, they would soon be out of business, and they’d have to settle for compensation between $100,000 and $1 million per store to close by next October.
