“We ran out of loaner cars we've had five or six people standing in line waiting for estimates,”said Miyagawa

Just in Dane county , the two recent storms were to blame for over 100 weather related car crashes .

The slippery roads yesterday brought in the most customers the shop has seen in a while.

Just today, Miyagawa has been working on six different cars and he knows he is not alone.

" When I called to get parts I'm on hold for a long time so that just tells me that's been happening every day this past week,”said Miyagawa.
