Ok, you are going to have to do some serious off site SEO stuff to try and push them down. Here are some simple things I would recommend. Make sure you have a full updated profile on all of the following sites:

1) Google Places
2) Yahoo Local
3) Yellow Book
4) City Search
5) Merchant Circle

Enter the world of social media and make a twitter and facebook account with the name woodybuttschevy and make sure someone keeps it updated at least semi regularly.

Make sure you have some links from your website to your twitter and facebook pages. Make sure every site links back to your site.

Do you have tv commercials or other videos? If so make a youtube accoung with the name woodybuttyschevy and get them up there.

Basically, you are trying to use sites that will rank well, and get your name on them to get them on google's first page and push down the other site. If a spam site from China is ranking that well, you should have a good chance that other sites will rank well if you work on it.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A Chevy dealership owner seeks help removing or demoting a bogus aggregator site (qxiu.com) that's ranking #2 on Bing/Yahoo for their dealership name and stealing their SEO visibility. While there's limited recourse against the scraper site itself, community members recommend contacting the domain registrar and aggressively building the dealership's own online presence through Google Places, social media, local directories, and quality content to out-rank the bogus listing.
