April might be good. People will have an instant down payment and many will replace their car.

Weird. It's like no other industry makes money based off what they sell.

You don't see a difference between a normal paycheck and commission?

I completely see the difference. I live it every day. I don't think you see it though.

I do all my own work but state inspections because mechanics are all crooks.

Most auto technicians are paid solely on piece rate/commission. If they don't work on a car, they don't get paid.
