WIth the coming of the cash for clunkers program, many thought it would bring a lot of business for auto shipping throughout North America.  Something that was not commonly known was that in an effort to prevent these “clunkers” from going back on the road, the dealerships are required to pour a chemical into the motors that causes the engine to be rendered useless.  As the program comes to an end, the dealerships are looking to local auto transporters to help them remove these inoperable vehicles from the dealership’s parking lot.  The program was a success however in boosting the number of new cars purchased which has helped to get some of the “gas guzzlers” off the road.  What it going to take quite some time to determine is the long term effects of the program and how it has effected the economy.  For right now, dealerships are interested to get these old beat up cars off their lots for their new cars coming in.
