    That's a tough one when you have an emotional connection there and start to feel bad. I believe that you need to think as a business man and business first...BUT...maybe and just maybe..if you don't want to loose him, explain to him where you are at and what you need to do to get back up to a level to support his employment. Set tasks for him to help increase the business. Increase your car count and your prices and you may be able to keep him. Otherwise, I would take him to dinner or any public place.. and lay him off. He will be able to collect unemployment

    January and February were pretty much flat. March was a 7% increase over last year, and April is looking to be a 3% increase over last year. First couple of weeks in April had days that were rediculously slow.

    Just wanted to add that I hear more and more that the local dealers are suffering with drops in business. Just the more reason to not let any job get away! You can secure a customer.

    You're open at 5 am? Do you have a night drop box? I believe that these days Saturdays and one late night is important, although I'm not doing that right now...

    I think any misalignment will cause a squealing noise and premature wear.

    Employee perception is very important. If you let out a negative vibe, others will pick it up.

    What preventive maintenance equipment do you use? Please list the machines that you use (BRAND, ex. BG, Motorvac, etc) and what services. Any chemical contracts? Were the machines free or paid? Any issues or complaints with any of the machines? I'm looking at the Motorvac tranny machine.

    What are your thoughts on Obama's Stimulus packages? I'm curious to see what everyine thinks. I'd like to see something more for small businesses, I think there is too much money going god knows where. Taxes will just go up for our kids and their kids to pay it back.
