I heard a pretty strong rumor that Fremont Pontiac GMC on Ballentine Drive in Newark is going out of business, possibly to be replaced by a new Chevy dealership that would also use the “Fremont” name.

I called Fremont Pontiac GMC to try to confirm the rumor. An mid-level manager said he could neither confirm nor deny the dealership’s closure. For what it’s worth, the Brunelli family denied they closing down Central Chevrolet less than a month before they shut it down.
