Vancouver auto retailer Mike Wood has shifted into gear and let out the clutch.
With his new boutique-style dealership — Clutch — Wood hopes to attract car buyers who hate buying cars.
He also hopes the concept will be of particular appeal to women.
“A lot of people love getting a new car, love owning a new car; but they don’t like the process leading up to having that new car in the driveway.”
Wood speaks from experience, having worked in the auto industry since 1989.
