Over all Auto Parts businesses are suffering,but are now beginning to pick up.

What the future holds in store is not known at this time.

Auto makers are beginning to call back and that will mean the same for the parts makers.It will take time,but the Auto Industry has been a business of feast or famine all my adult life.

The auto companies were caught flat footed when banks quit lending and money dried up. That goes for the foreign companies too. Toyota forced their employees to take a $4 and hour cut and shorter hours.That was just no publicized.
