    Zero Work WTF?

    It has been slow for months but this is getting out of hand, the only cars on the schedule are warranty services.

    Just not good, So who is busy and who is sitting going WTF?

        The whole "Service Industry" has not seen this in 20+ years.

          I had 4 BMWs running, now only 1 is good to go.
          I thought it would never come to this.

            We don't actually do any service, but Alfa Romeo parts sales are in a little bit of a slump. I'd say we are at about 35-40% of what we were selling during the summer months. Usually we drop off during the winter but not quite this much... Our buddies at the Toyota shop next door are doing great though! They have been booked solid for weeks!

                Fuck, I havent worked for 3 weeks now. Did a couple odd jobs, but not nearly enough to stay afloat.
                Anyone need a grease monkey in the eugene springfield area?

                      i've been pretty busy at my new job which includes mounting snow tires... Slow today though.

                      My dad, a builder, always slows down majorly during the winter, but after all the fluff builders have been weeded out during these tough times, he's been steady, so I'm thankful for that.

                        My coworkers husband just got laid off, I've got 3 friends out of work right now. Business is slower that normal for an online marketing company. People aren't buying shit right now. I've never seen anything like this.

                            Not related to my slackar lifestyle, but I visited friends and stuff for the holiday, and, I have more friends on UI then working.

                              here in germany at the dealer I am at, surprisingly we have enough work at the moment.
                              with winter tire season (europeans---actually put snow/mud tires on when it snows-can you believe that)
                              last year after the first snow fall, it was ugly, but so far so good.
