Nitro -- Myna Tyler says the economy has claimed two-thirds of her business -- J.T. Truck Accessories of Nitro. She fears the temporary shutdown of some General Motors plants will take away even more business.

"When they shut down, and the dealerships can't buy, and the customers can't buy, then they can't buy from us," says Tyler

She says the General Motors down time will put her business in a holding pattern, making it more difficult to get products for customers they hope will sustain them during the sluggish economy.

"It is frustrating, and then to our customers, they think it's our fault when we can't get it. Our hands are tied," says Tyler.

Experts say the shutdown will actually make it a great time to buy a car, yet still unsettling is the price paid to get to this point. That price is a troubling economy.

"The big thing that we're looking is to get the market settled, to get all this negative that's going on behind us," says Ruth Lemmon, President of the West Virginia Automobile and Truck Dealers Association.

"No fault of the other person really, but they're reaping while the other one is going under. How do you weigh that,' says Tyler

Tyler has faith the economy will soon turn around with the scales eventually tipping in her favor.

Bob Pepper, Vice President of Manufacturing for N-G-K Spark Plugs in Charleston says depending on which G-M plants are temporarily shut down will determine how the down time will impact them.
