After closing four plants, bankrupt automaker Chrysler has announced it will close a quarter of it's 3,200 dealerships -- 11 are in South Carolina, and three are in Charleston.
Blue locations are staying open, red are closing.
Read more stories on this subject in our auto dealership topic page.
Those are: Hoover Chrysler Dodge and Jeep (that counts as two), and Strom Altman Dodge (in North Charleston).
In all the Charleston-area has four Chrysler dealership locations, the closures will affect two of them.
GM also plans to close about a third of its 6,000 dealerships.
Still the Charleston area has already experienced a number of dealerships closures.
