Hi All

Something that may affect us all, not only Independents but owners as well

It's not only the sharing of data that's going to be a problem, what about the lack of young people coming into our trade, with thousands of us older techs retiring or getting out of this trade over the next 10-15 years

It's not all about diagnostics and analysing data, where are all the young techs on the spanners going to come from? replacing cylinder heads, turbos and egr valves up the back of engines etc

Rising cost of fuel, road tax, now insurance going up, servicing and repair costs.....stats show that less and less young people taking driving tests and car ownership

Independent will slowly disappear like the Corner Shops

Never seen the motor trade change so quickly
