I don't think our trade will suffer as bad as what the Doom and Gloom mungers might think. Yes some garages have closed, but what you need to ask your self is why.

Stand out side look at the condition of your premises, is the workshop clean, is your reception clean and inviting, do you look professional, are female customers put off by the image you portray, these are all basics that a new customer will look for.

There are many good garages out there that do a good job and look after it's customer, there are just as many that don't in my opinion ( the dog will have it's day springs to mine) We all have quite weeks, and we all have very busy months. It's the way the trade is and has been for years.

I personally welcome a quite period this is the time to have a good clean up and catch up.
