I love a busy shop.

Not all days can be busy. We deal with the local ebb and flow of spending and not spending. What makes the phone ring with people saying, "Yep go ahead and get it fixed"? Some people will tell you "it's all about marketing." But it's much more complicated than that. I've noticed that on sunny days people are generally in a better mood and much more likely to authorize services and repairs on their cars and trucks. My theory is that people enjoy driving when the weather is nicer. People will invest in what they enjoy. When weather is bad and the roads are covered with ice, snow, and gravel driving is less that a pleasureable experience. We don't want to deal with it. For a while we've fallen out of love with our trusty car or truck...until that Spring-like day returns.
