Will said in a release that he does not intend to make any major changes to company polices but will continue to uphold the same high standards for customer service his father taught him. “We value our loyal dealers and customers who have trusted us from the very beginning, as well as those who have joined us along the way, and we are very thankful for the continued support.”
