We lost a 3k a month account a while back. But other than that we have been alright. It seems though that the fleet managers are waiting to hear back from corp a lot longer than usual.

No one has canceled any washing services but some locations have fewer vehicles now.

Don't do fleets but we noticed at least 3-4 car dealerships go under up the road from us.

I believe it Ron...I hear more and more on the news about dealerships that have been in business for generations closing their doors!

oh forget about the car industries.....i am also a car dealer as well and sell used cars .. the bills to keep the license and suite were getting 2 expensive that we had to give it up...... the gas crunch drove the 4 cyl cars up in price therefore made it very hard to make a profit on them ...
