Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class Recorded at the NAPA Now Conference celebrating NAPA Auto Care’s 100th anniversary, this conversation dives into the realities of emerging automotive technologies, especially ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems). The discussion emphasizes the critical need for proper calibration procedures, equipment, and technician training to keep pace with rapidly evolving tech. From static vs. dynamic calibrations to the integration of AR/VR tools, the panel explores the industry's struggles to adopt new technology and the personal traits, like hyperfocus, needed to thrive in today’s complex diagnostic landscape. The takeaway: adaptation, education, and investment are no longer optional; they’re essential for staying competitive. Bill Weaver, NAPA Autotech Trainer.

Reverse Benchmarking: Learning From What Others Do Poorly [E186] - Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z
By carmcapriotto · Posted
Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training Key Discussion Points: What is Reverse Benchmarking? Traditional benchmarking focuses on studying what competitors do well, but reverse benchmarking involves analyzing what they do poorly and capitalizing on those weaknesses. Two interpretations: Looking at other industries for innovative ideas (e.g., team-building activities from tech companies). Example: Some shops now adopt spontaneous team outings (baseball games, go-karting) inspired by Silicon Valley culture. Staying within the automotive industry to identify gaps in competitors' customer experience or service offerings. Applying Reverse Benchmarking in Auto Repair Customer Experience: Visit competitor shops (dealerships, independents) and note flaws—uncomfortable waiting room chairs, poor TV choices, limited snack/drink options. Actionable Fixes: Upgrade seating, offer neutral TV content (e.g., Joy of Painting), provide filtered water instead of plastic bottles. Market Gaps: If competitors specialize in European cars (like Seth Thorson’s shop), consider specializing in underserved markets (e.g., Asian brands like Hyundai, Kia, Nissan). Focus on services competitors avoid (advanced diagnostics, programming, driveline work). Technician-Level Reverse Benchmarking In a shop with a star "R&R tech," instead of competing directly, fill gaps (e.g., diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting) to become indispensable. "See a need, fill a need"—position yourself as the go-to for overlooked but critical tasks. Why It Works Creates a unique value proposition—whether for customers (better experience) or employers (specialized skills). Helps shops stand out in saturated markets by addressing unmet needs. Final Thoughts: Reverse benchmarking isn’t new, but it’s underutilized in automotive. Whether you’re a shop owner, manager, or tech, observing competitors’ weaknesses can reveal opportunities for growth.
