In Central Florida we are taking a beating. Every dealer in town is on a skeleton crew. Service departments that had 18 to 30 techs two years ago are now functioning with 6 to 9 techs and they are still not making 40 hours per week. We are seeing independents close their doors and some of the smaller dealers really struggling. The Clark dealer has already filed bankruptcy.

The experts are saying another 18 months for Florida to recover from this. So right now the outlook is bleak.
