So I work at Motorsport Auto, we specialize in Datsun and Nissan Z parts ONLY. We work very close with Nissan and most large aftermarket parts suppliers, we ship over 150 packages per day through USPS and FedEx. We have not been effected as a business due to all this yet. We have shut our showroom down so customers can not come in our building, but have set up a no contact pick up service using a table outside our sales office for customers to pick up items while we are on the other side of the glass.
Just got word this morning the largest network of Nissan dealerships in So Cal laid off about 50% of their workforce. Most, if not all salesman, service porters and parts delivery drivers are all temporarily laid off until further notice. The amount of shops ordering parts and deliveries has diminished for them about 75%, and they let us know this morning that if they lose the 3 or 4 accounts they still have open for parts ordering and delivery then they will shut down until further notice, meaning we can not get Nissan parts, meaning we will most likely have to shut down due to not getting parts in. We are still waiting to see what happens, but very shitty feeling just waiting to see what happens with the Automotive industry that has been deemed "Essential" in these times.
