I expect to see a 5%-10% increase in sales in 2011 and an increase of the same the following years. The economic recovery in my opinion will be alot slower than the really fast downturn most all of are experiencing right now which really does suck. Talking with several shop owners here in the Northwest some have seen up 50% decrease in business from 2007 even after being an established business of 25 years. I wish everyone in the automotive business to see an increase in 2011.
