[quote=roverchris;20437555]It slows down some around April 15 also plus the usual winter slowdown. I work on high end vehicles so that helps. There aren't many independents for my brand around either (unlike in Colorado, where there were tons). As I'm sure you're aware, warranty work times are getting worse, so working for an independent is starting to look attractive. Not sure what make you work on, but with 6 million people in the metroplex, there's plenty of dealerships.[/quote

Good to know. Working on high end cars now. last time i was there I checked out a few in Plano.
