You might be going for an interview, but when I am looking for a job, I am interviewing the employer also. I would ask hard questions. What is the turnover rate at this business? Why is this position open? If a previous employee left this position, I would ask for a phone number to talk to them. Ask to talk to any former employee at all, and if they don't comply, it's probably because every former employee left there all pissed off.

To be honest, dealerships don't really have a good rep for employment. I hope the best for you but dealerships have high turnover rates for a reason.
As a former hiring manager I wouldn't give you any of my previous employee's private information. Hello lawsuit!!! I would ask questions like what are your gross sales for 2017? What are your projections for 2018? Do you support a mail order or on-line order department? What attributes are you looking for in a candidate for this open position.
