Slammed.
Completely and utterly slammed.
Not just bumper covers, door skins and 2hr quarter repairs. I am talking full on "winter" hits. We are replacing frame rails, floor pans, quarter panels. I cannot fucking believe it. Our bullpen is full of undriveables that we do not have the time to get to, and our lot fence is lined with totals.
Summer is always our slow time, 2 years ago it was your average dead time. Nothing really happening from the end of June untill Mid September. Last summer we got a little more busy, and this summer... We had a lull right before tax time, and have been at least 2 weeks out ever since. We are currently 4 weeks out and not looking forward to winter.
/Rant because we have so much shit to do... But still thankful we are doing well as a business.
Ready for winter boys?Originally posted by TeaguerComment

Business has been slow for everyone around here. I slang them the parts, so I know this. We went from doing 235k this month last year, do being at 155k to this day. We totally fell off this month for some reason. Lets hope it doesnt continue, otherwise I wont be able to feed all 4 dogs, pig, cat, and fish tanks =\ oh and GFOriginally posted by bluntComment

There is definitely a slump in SoCal. I work in the wholesale parts dept. at a major dealer, and our warehouse stocks $2.5 million worth in hard parts; average monthly sales are around $1 mil a month. The past few months we have averaged around $700,000...not good. Shops are our main customers, and they aren't ordering because there isn't shit in their bays. Hell, there isn't shit in OUR bays either; today they let go 3 techs and a service writer (new guys) simply because they have nothing to do. It sucks seeing as how no sales = no raises/bonus...JasonComment
