Mot business

It is noticeably busier this year compared to last (which was better than the year before) but we're nowhere near getting close to being booked up till the end of May - this week's not even full up yet. We've still got hell of a way to go to get up to the levels before the scrappage scheme knocked us for six - there was an above national average take-up in this area. I still cringe when I think about some of the really nice cars that were crushed.

The Koreans (Kia, Hyundai) sold a load more cars and that helped the British industry and economy how exactly?

Who benefited from it in the end?

It's a sign that money is tight and the guys (and companies) who would chop in a three-year-old and buy new are now trying to get another year or two out of them, and the knock on effect is fewer trade-ins for the used car outfits, and ultimately the poor man with the pooper can't find a cheap replacement so struggles through another test.

used to find the same in the tyre trade, recession is good for tyre sales, up to a point. When money is really short, like the credit crunch a few years back people look for part-worn tyres

Edited to add - Booked solid for ten days, but I put that down to half price MOTS

Before I comment I would be looking at my test logs sheet over the time period to see what changes have occured
