There’s no getting around it: the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the economy on both a global and local scale and business owners around the world are being forced to adapt.

However, the automotive aftermarket remains hopeful. Suppliers are still producing, selling and shipping out product and business–with the exception of some cancelled events–is mostly as usual.
