I work at a small dealership and when business was good a couple years back we would take in up to 120 cars per day, averaging over 100 per day. This was with less than 15 mechanics. I had my hands on as many as 25 cars in one day. Lots of pressure and stress.
BTW, I have a bike that won't take a front tire bigger than 23. Big deal.
