We remember lots of disasters that happened in U.S. in the latest years, but none of them could conquer with the aftermath created by the Hurricane Harvey. The storm may have ruined up to one million vehicles along the Texas Gulf Coast. In the Houston area, about one in seven cars may have been destroyed . Hundreds of thousands of vehicles have been submerged in the unprecedented flood water, which is filled not just with alligators, but sewage and other stuff you don’t want on your seats or in your electrics. The damage to cars’ systems will, inevitably, ...
As we first wrote there are many dealerships affected by the Harvey hurricane, leaving them with no inventory, but this is not all the car sales will also be affected by it at first. Some predict a swift rebound once dealerships in the affected areas reopen and as people seek to replace their flood-damaged vehicles.

Harvey struck over the weekend, leaving at least 10 dead, thousands of people displaced, and scores injured as the floodwaters rose. Texas accounts for about 9% of U.S. vehicle retail...
Aston Martin aims to boost its market share in the U.S. and Japan to mitigate against any risks from Brexit which could add costs and delays to sales to the European Union.

Ford will have a lot of hybrids on the market in just one year, so we’ve been wondering if this means that the automaker will mainly focus on hybrids. Do you also remember that in January, the automaker identified seven of the other models, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and F-150 to be available by 2020? Ford is investing $4.5 billion to develop these 13 vehicles. Adding hybrid versions of Ford's biggest SUVs m...
Revenues at car repairs and auto-parts stores are rising despite the slump in the U.S. auto sales this year. But why is there such a bid difference between these 3, when they are basically bounded to each other? Well, old vehicles are grinding out more miles, and need replacement parts and repairs almost each month. The vehicle fleet is still getting older every single year, in spite of our record sales, So you’ve got a significantly larger population of vehicles that require service and are coming in for service pretty regularly. Car dealers didn’t use to handle so...
