The Automobile Industry Post 3

Imagine a world where there were no mechanics and you were forced to fix your own car everytime there was a problem.

"A lot of people aren't bringing their cars into the shop anymore, they're trying to fix [them] theirselves to save money" Service Router James Fratz, 39, of International Motors said.

With people cutting corners at auto shops, dealerships have been feeling the bite of our economy's recession. Lack of business hasn't just hurt the dealerships, the mechanics are facing troubled times as well.

"If there aren't any cars to work on, the technicians are sent home" Fratz said.

It seems like the recession is taking a toll on everyone, big businesses and their employees are doing the best they can with the state of our economy.
