Trend will be that major auto repair will be less in the next few years since so many people bought new cars with low financing rather than patching together their daily beaters.

Call up other places and ask if they have weird ass parts for rare cars -- or pretend you're serious about gettin' some muffler bearings.

Hell yeah we are. i am doing a ton of used SI's and I grabbed a 45k the moment he walked in. However, you can still turn time with maintenance and services rather than repairs. I am staying from warranty pretty good so thats a plus.

Lately we have been steady but the past week and a half it has been slow. That time of the year again as usual.
