April 21, 2009: The Dynamic and Growing Automotive Industry

Countless articles from nationally recognized media sources emphasize the recession proof Automotive Aftermarket.
Over the last several months, the automotive repair industry has received a tremendous amount of publicity from local and national news media sources. With new car sales going backwards, consumers are holding onto their vehicles longer resulting in additional business for automotive repair and service chains. In addition more than 7 billion dollars are anticipated to flow into the automotive repair market as more than 2000 car dealerships close their doors in 2009.

“The 2009 closing of at least 2,000 car dealers in the U.S., mostly domestic auto outlets, will provide the independent (non-dealer) automotive aftermarket with an unprecedented $7 billion annual growth opportunity in parts and service volume. "This is part of the greatest restructuring of the automotive aftermarket competitive landscape since World War II, which will extend over a number of years," said Steve Lang from Lang Marketing Resource – March 17, 2009.
