Most garages are closed or at only open on the phone.
I thought that Autotrader advertising would see a collapse of the numbers of cars on the site - instead it increased.
Digging a little it transpires that April is FOC for dealers - Autotrader maintaining its dominance in car advertising and doing it for free as garages struggle with closed showrooms & workshops.
Closed doors - how long will garages survive? I am not just talking about small back street outlets - many of the big chains were struggling in the last few years with sales only making cash in workshops - without sales how many will see the doors of the glass palaces re-opening?

May I suggest that now is not the time to have your p & j for sale on SOR with 'Arry's Autos, The Arches 'Ackney.
If they go pear shaped, you may struggle getting your car back!
