Local Presence

Heavy corporate/franchise boilerplate dominates (GM Rewards, Super Cruise, GM Energy, standardized service menu). While Madison/WI location and local phone numbers are present, they're overshadowed by repeated corporate template elements, GM brand programs, and generic dealership language with minimal personality or local differentiation.
