AMARILLO, TEXAS -- All of this snow comes with slippery roads which equals hazardous driving conditions, which is bad for you but good for the car repair business.

During this winter weather the past week Amarillo Police have responded to 161 car accidents. Over at Bernards Collision Center cars are lined up around the block in need of repair.

The owner says an average storm brings in two to three cars a day, so far today he's gotten 8.

Co-Owner Terence Bernard said "We have a lot of people that say you guys prey on bad weather to help your business and its true that some people misfortunes help the body shop business."

Bernard added they have received more cars needing repair in yesterday's storm, than last week.

If you must get out on the roads tonight remember to drive with care, keep your head lights on, and allow plenty of room to stop between you and other cars.
