What to do if the dealer is about to close??

Due to the severeness of the economy, I think lots of dealers are facing the same problem now.

But now I think I'm going to have a real problem: My dealer is (at least seems to be) about to close, as they're sort of rebranding to something else, and their main office building is temporarily closed for redecorating or something. Not sure whether they're coming back or not though.

So, here's the question. I'm on a lease (30 terms left). What happens, if my dealer goes out of business, in terms of getting scheduled services, warranties, and finally, who do I return the car to when my lease is up?

I know this topic is kind of hypothetic, but I just would like to know.

Thanks!!

you'll have to find another dealership for service.
As far as the lease, you can turn that into any Mazda, doesn't have to be the one you originally leased it from.

thus has been the case for Evo owners the past few years with Mitsu closing dealerships here and there.
