Judge said Pat O'Brien Chevrolet missed chance to protest move after being notified
Pat O'Brien Chevrolet's lawsuit to stop another dealership from moving in next door to the Westlake location has been dismissed.

Firment is planning to move from Lorain to Chester Road
The plans for Joe Firment Chevrolet to move to Avon may be up in the air after Pat O’Brien Chevrolet has sued to stop the move.

O’Brien’s suit asserts that the relocation would damage their sales figures and violates an existing General Motors dealership contract condition to prevent regional dealership overcrowding. The latter was implemented, in part, with a mass GM dealer contract termination in 2009. Hundreds of dealerships were a part of that contraction. The proposed move by …
