Independent’s have lost most of there young vehicle work, with service costs buried in the purchase price and then offered free. The lease company demanding dealer servicing and the cartel dealers are creating.
Without the new vehicle work it becomes difficult to pay well enough to recruit and retain the skill level required, and investment has to be less. Unless the playing field is levelled the future of competent independents is likely to be short.
