The owner of 17 dealerships in the Washington area sells cars and trucks from brands including Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota and Volkswagen. To deal with the economic slowdown and lack of customers, it has cut the number of vehicles on its lots, laid off a few employees and had the office-cleaning crew come in six days a week instead of seven.
