It was a complete failure . No extra business was achieved but the extra hours put lots of extra strain on the families of those in the motor industry at dealerships .. The dealers , car yard owners don't want it .. Leave it alone . It is not like a shoe shop or other retail stores .. Perhaps look at what happened last time this was tried , perhaps reflect on how a group of car salesman banded together to fight it and nearly brought down a liberal government of the day . Certainly caused them to about face and head for ghe hill. But note to all salesman , the mta are in favour of this change , were then are now

The 58 hour week is a minimum given that most weeks there is an expectation of overtime when there is a customer and day's off are not a right but a privilege. An average week can easily jump from 58 hours to 70+.

Sundays would mean we have to work 7 day weeks, no family time, more stress and no time to enjoy a quality life. No one should have to do that, ever.

I for one, will never work a second of these extended hours if they come through, if they came into place, as a result i would leave the industry, as would all quality and integral sales staff in the industry.

It was trialled back about 10 years ago with all day trading on Saturdays with no increase in sales. The business owners , generally being a money hungry group will not have any problems with extended trading as it will not increase their costs as they will keep sales staff on existing retainer/commission system but with the offer of more selling opportunity!!! This will have a negative effect on staff retention with longer working hours to try and earn more money with little or no time to spend and enjoy with family & friends. I strongly object to deregulation within our industry or others as it is already detroying the makeup of our society which is already being discussed in the media as to where we are heading with this and future generations.

The majority of customers we sell cars too have said that they like being able to walk around the car yards over the weekend (Saturday afternoon and Sunday) and browse through the vehicles without a salesman on their tail, then when they find a car they like, make contact during the week. If they are in a hurry to buy there is always after hours numbers for them to call the on duty salesman. Also with predominantly internet based leads these days there is even less need to be open all the time.

They do it each evening in the comfort of their own homes. As a result customers arrive at the yard already knowing the exact car they wish to purchase. It is my strong belief that our opening hours should be less not more.
