Outlook
Growth for this career will be slower than average. Changes in economic conditions can affect the tire repair and replacement business. When the economy is strong, people take more trips and put more wear on their cars. When the economy is weak, people still must repair and replace the tires on their cars but less often. Demand is also affected by the increase in the reliability of tires.
