EZ Lube Investigation Undercover Video Investigation of NBC4 about EZ Lube. Really interesting.

Auto Repair Shops Face Changes Ahead in Technology George Witt, owner of George Witt Service, sees huge changes taking place in the automotive industry, especially as they pertain to technology, training and tooling. Those who harness the technology will separate themselves from the others, he adds.

No problem!

Looks like for the majority, business is slightly down.

If you have a website for your business, you can add current gas prices from automotive.com for your area. It's a neat feature. I am in teh process of trying to get online and was browsing around to find this. http://www.automotive.com/gas-prices/feeds...e&zip=07642

They are just dropping their low hanging fruit. Most of teh locations are being picked up by independent repair shops or ind. goodyears.

I agree, you don't see much of this going on in our economy. More shops closing. Nice job.

I think the commmon consumer is in a state of shock with what they see out there. Fuel and heating oil prices, slumping housing prices, everyday needs such as groceries rising, the failure of large companies needing bail outs, popor ROI within their 401k and private investments. All these things are key indicators for people to do whatever it takes to hold on to their money. The media blows it all up, all the time, all day long. Educating the public on how bad everything is. Would the housing crisis fall as much so fast if teh media wasn;t all over it every day? It will be very interesting to see what happens this winter, some will not be able to afford to heat thei homes.
