      Could You Sell Your Repair Shop Tomorrow? If You Needed Too?

      By newport5 · Posted

      Hey Joe, Regarding selling a repair shop:   My buddy owns a very successful hardwood flooring business, and like you, he's focused on helping contractors work on their business, not just in it.   He created 4 powerful business manuals—including a detailed employee handbook and office systems—to help contractors run their shops more efficiently and professionally. Each manual comes with easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blank templates so you can quickly customize them for your shop without starting from scratch.   One contractor who bought the manuals said:   > “How can you sell a business if it doesn’t come with a playbook on how to run it?” He also said the employee manual alone was worth the entire price.   Bonus: when potential hires see the employee manual, they immediately realize they're applying to a well-run, professional operation—which means you attract high-quality people, not just the average ones.   Let me know if you want me to connect you guys—he’s got something really valuable here.

      Creating a Shared Vision for Your Organization [E150] - The Auto Repair Marketing Podcast

      By carmcapriotto · Posted

      In this episode, we’re diving into the powerful concept of creating a shared vision and how a lack of clarity could be holding your shop back from real growth. I’ll walk you through what I learned in a deep dive after my own leadership team challenged me to cast a vision that reaches every level of our company. We’ll talk about how to get out of the “small thinking” trap, how to define your goals with laser precision, and why your employees need to see, feel, and believe in the same future you do. Plus, I’ll share real tools, like how to craft your vision statement, how to communicate it across your team, and how to create a business where everyone’s pulling in the same direction. If you want to stop playing small and start building something truly great, this episode is for you. Thank you to our friends at RepairPal for providing you this episode.

      Jeepers Creepers [E184] - Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z

      By carmcapriotto · Posted

      Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training Key Points & Takeaways: The Problem: A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee (collision repair) came in with blind spot warning and parking aid malfunction lights on. No functionality in either system post-repair. Initial Diagnosis: Verified the concern (instrument cluster lit up with warnings). Used an aftermarket scan tool (Snap-on Ultra) and found: ADAS control module had multiple DTCs for open/short circuits on all radar sensors. Parking aid module had similar codes for ultrasonic sensors. Vehicle was hit in the passenger rear, leading to replacement of the bumper, harness, and rear hatch. Suspected Causes: Blown fuse (common culprit for multiple system failures). Crushed/damaged wiring harness (common after collisions). Module failure due to impact. Testing & Findings: Checked power and ground at the ADAS module—all good. Inspected wiring harness for damage (no visible issues). Critical Clue: Wire colors didn’t match the schematic. Initially dismissed as a common schematic error. Later realized the entire harness was installed backward (left/right sides flipped). The Fix: Flipped the harness and radar modules to their correct positions. All codes cleared except two for the blind spot radars—turned out they were also swapped. After correction, all systems worked perfectly. Lessons Learned: Don’t get stuck in a diagnostic rabbit hole. Good techs pivot when clues don’t add up. Man-made problems can be the trickiest. Always verify previous work (especially after collisions). Wire color discrepancies matter. Even if schematics are often wrong, they can reveal bigger issues. "Slow down to speed up." Rushing leads to wasted time; methodical checks save hours. Final Thoughts: Awareness is key. Catch yourself when fixating on one theory. Experience can work against you. Stay open to new clues, even if they conflict with past patterns.

      "Desmarting" or Device Discipline with Jeremy Glassco [E040] - Speak Up!

      By carmcapriotto · Posted

      Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-Bound Watch Full Video Episode In our episode today, our host Craig O’Neill welcomes founding sponsor and friend, Jeremy Glassco to discuss the potential merits and the root of the desire to step away from devices and “de-smart” with regards to phones. Our loyal listeners will remember Jeremy from Communicating With Questions: Jeremy and the Jungle [E006]. In this conversation Jeremy makes a perfect sounding board for Craig to bounce ideas off of - as he verbalizes some of his own feelings about the ‘Frenetic’ pace of interruptions today. We ask:  Is the answer something so dramatic as to retreat from a smart phone entirely? One such option out there is a light phone - https://www.thelightphone.com/ Topics Discussed:   FOMO - The fear of missing out ….and when FOMO isn’t a bad thing if it saves lives! App apologetics and greater control over communication preferences Disciplined development Disciplined usage At the crux of the topic is the dilemma that more efficient communication- which is one goal of technology - usually leads to more opportunities to communicate - which means our social energy is being drained all the time.  What happens when our well runs dry? Most importantly - Jeremy and Craig explore what is at the root of the desire to “desmart?” Listeners will enjoy hearing take-aways and suggestions to restore balance and minimize distractions with the end goal of being more present - more focused - and simply better for the people we are meeting with. Today’s Word of the Day: Retention: noun the continued possession, use, or control of something.
