Yesterday, a segment on CNBC covered just this issue (forced car retention 
/repair and the implications).  They said the 'sweet spot' for pl;aces like 
auto-zone, NAPA, and car -repair chains would start in abiout a year and last 
for , probably two to three years.  The implication is that 'new- car' 
maunfacturers and dealers would be in deep water for the next five years 
(seven years from the beginning of the recession).
