					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at the VISION 2026, this episode of Remarkable Results Radio features host Carm Capriotto in conversation with Lisa Coyle, Co-founder and CEO of Promotive, and Stacey Black, Account Manager at Promotive. Together, they unpack one of the most urgent challenges facing the automotive repair industry today: how to attract, hire, and retain top talent in an increasingly competitive and fast-moving market.

What the Episode Covers:

The “Ghosting” Problem in Hiring:

Why candidates are applying to 15-20 shops at once
How speed of response determines who wins the hire
The growing impact of declining soft skills like communication and accountability

The Role of Shop Culture in Retention

Why culture must be intentional, not assumed
Simple, low-cost ways to build connection and loyalty
Ideas like celebrating milestones, supporting families, and investing in training
How strong culture reduces turnover and attracts better talent

Introducing “Paige” The Industry's First AI-Powered Recruiting

Promotive’s virtual recruiter designed for the automotive industry
Instantly engages candidates via text after they apply
Conducts a guided, conversational pre-screening interview
Captures key data: experience, commute, current benefits, and pay expectations

A Live Demo of AI in Action

Carm roleplays as a technician to demonstrate Paige’s capabilities
Shows how natural, fast, and effective the process is

The 24/7 Hiring Advantage

Why candidates often apply after hours, and how Paige captures them in that moment
Real-world success, including dozens of completed interviews over a holiday weekend
Faster engagement leads to fewer drop-offs and better-qualified candidates

Hiring today requires more than posting a job and waiting. The shops that succeed are the ones that move quickly, communicate clearly, and create a culture people want to be part of. By combining intentional leadership with innovative tools like AI recruiting, you can reduce friction in the hiring process, improve retention, and ultimately build a stronger, more committed team.

		<title>Your Shop Might Need Marriage Counseling: Fixing Communication in Auto Repair [RR 1087]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at VISION 2026, host Carm Capriotto and Matt Fanslow explore how lessons from marriage counseling can improve communication in auto repair shops.

The core discussion centers on Matt’s article for NAPA Auto Care's Insight Magazine, “Your Shop Might Need Marriage Counseling,” and the industry’s gap in soft skills. His central argument is simple: most automotive professionals were never taught effective communication or soft skills. In the past, shop culture often relied on public criticism or shame to correct mistakes. Today, that approach backfires, especially for younger technicians, who are more likely to disengage or “quietly quit” in that kind of environment.

Matt proposes a different approach: applying communication techniques commonly used in therapy to everyday shop interactions.

Drawing from the Gottman Institute, Matt outlines common communication pitfalls: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling, and how they show up daily in shop environments.

Key solutions include:

Validating feelings, especially with anxious customers
Coaching without shame, addressing mistakes privately with support
Seeking outside perspective, using coaches or therapists to uncover blind spots

Finally, both Carm and Matt challenge the stigma around seeking outside help. They encourage shop leaders to work with coaches, counselors, or therapists to uncover blind spots and improve their leadership approach. Far from being a weakness, asking for help is framed as a sign of strength and self-awareness.

The goal isn’t to turn shops into therapy sessions; it’s to make small, intentional changes in how people communicate every day. The payoff? Fewer emotional blowups, stronger team culture, and customers who feel safe, heard, and respected.

					<description><![CDATA[In this episode, Carm Capriotto speaks with Chris Machado, founder of XGen Academy, about a bold new approach to solving the automotive technician shortage.

Machado has developed an intensive 16-week training program that blends virtual reality simulations, classroom learning, and hands-on shop experience to accelerate the development of new technicians. At the core of the academy’s philosophy is the “reverse funnel,” which attracts a wide pool of young talent and progressively refines their skills toward professional mastery.

The program goes beyond technical instruction. Through its “Reality Hub,” students also learn essential life and workplace skills, including financial literacy, professionalism, and ethics.

By modernizing the training experience and making automotive careers more appealing to younger generations, Machado aims to build a scalable model that can be replicated nationwide, offering a proactive, high-tech solution for developing the industry’s next generation of technicians.

					<description><![CDATA[The automotive industry is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history. In this episode, Cavan Robinson, VP  of Operations for the Aftermarket at Vehlo, and Tony Mercury, VP of Revenue at Auto Shop Solutions, break down what shop owners need to understand—and act on—right now.

The conversation explores the rapid consolidation reshaping the aftermarket, from independent shops being absorbed into MSOs (multi-shop ownership) to major software platforms merging at an unprecedented pace. The discussion then shifts to how marketing is evolving beyond traditional SEO into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), where a shop’s website—especially its FAQ content—becomes the trusted source AI tools use to deliver zero-click search results.

On the people side of the business, the episode addresses shop owner burnout, technician ghosting, and a critical reality: younger technicians increasingly view a shop’s technology, systems, and online presence as a measure of professionalism before deciding to apply.

Key takeaway: A successful modern shop is like a smart home—built on strong behind-the-scenes infrastructure, a polished and accessible front end, and leadership that understands the data driving the entire system.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at AAPEX 2025, this episode brings together leaders from Australia’s JAX Tyres &#038; Auto to show just how closely the Australian automotive aftermarket mirrors the U.S. market. Featuring CEO Steve Grossrieder, franchise owner Dan Spiteri, future franchisee Will Attard, and Autoflow’s Chris Cloutier and Craig O’Neill, the conversation underscores shared global challenges—most notably the technician shortage—and the reassurance that the industry is moving along a parallel path worldwide.

Rather than chasing quick fixes, the discussion centers on culture-driven solutions: expanding diversity, building clear career paths and succession plans, and advocating for the industry at the grassroots level. JAX's customer-first mindset is a recurring theme, with every team member accountable for the client experience and a strong emphasis on clear communication to help customers understand emerging technologies like ADAS.

With just under 100 stores, JAX avoids multi-franchise ownership, instead holding each franchisee accountable for the customer experience in their territory. The key takeaway is clear: in both Australia and the U.S., long-term aftermarket success depends on investing in people, strengthening culture, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the customer.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded Live at ASTA 2025, we explore the rise of the automotive specialist and why the industry needs a language shift—calling instructors “educators” instead of “trainers” to reflect the complex, continuing education modern technicians require. 

We also dive into the mobile diagnostics and repair market, discussing strategies for growth, high-complexity work, and the investments needed to compete. Looking ahead, the industry faces a technological turning point by 2030, with new vehicle architectures and ADAS calibration requirements threatening shops that fail to keep up.

The episode closes by emphasizing the power of networking, connecting with peers, and staying ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded Live at ASTA 2025, Dutch Silverstein delivers a powerful reframing of how the automotive industry can approach customer interaction—shifting from high-pressure sales tactics to a relationship-first model built on the idea that 'People Love to Buy. They Don’t Like to Be Sold.'

Advocates, Not Salespeople
Dutch’s relationship-based shop model stands in stark contrast to transactional sales environments.

No Salespeople: Dutch does not employ “salesmen,” he employs “advocates.”

Role of an Advocate: Advocates collaborate with customers to understand what they want for their vehicle and their long-term plans, then help design solutions that support those goals.

Eliminating Pressure: The shop enforces a strict “no pressure, ever” philosophy. There are no commissions, no sales quotas, no whiteboards, no competitive bonuses—removing any incentive that could create a conflict of interest.

The episode also dives into several controversial but important topics:

The need to revisit technician licensing, with Dutch arguing current standards are “window dressing.”

The flat-rate paradox, especially when contrasted with the younger generation’s desire for work-life balance rather than solely financial incentive.

Determining an optimal labor rate in a way that supports sustainability and talent retention.


The Takeaway
The conversation reinforces that effective sales—better yet, advocacy—are rooted in trust. When customers feel supported rather than sold to, they embrace their decisions with confidence. This shift from selling to serving creates a healthier, more sustainable customer experience and business model.

		<title>Train the Trainer: Building an Industry Boot Camp for Automotive Educators [THA 459]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[The automotive industry faces a growing crisis: as veteran trainers and educators retire, there’s no clear path for the next generation to replace them. Creating quality training is time-intensive — often taking months to develop just one class — and the personal sacrifices required have deterred many from stepping up.

This episode explores the urgent need to evolve automotive education, from rethinking long-form classes to developing shorter, high-impact sessions that better fit today’s learning styles. At the heart of the conversation is a proposed solution: an industry “Trainer Boot Camp” designed to teach aspiring educators not only technical knowledge but also the art of presentation — structure, flow, delivery, and audience engagement.

Another proposed solution is the creation of a Train the Trainers Scholarship to fund legacy educators like John Thornton and Scot Manna to design and lead this new initiative. Modeled after the WWE’s NXT Performance Center, the idea is to proactively cultivate new education “superstars” rather than waiting for them to appear on their own.

This is more than a conversation about teaching — it’s a call to action to preserve and reinvent the future of automotive education before the knowledge gap becomes irreversible.

					<description><![CDATA[Joe Marconi, former shop owner, Elite Worldwide coach, is defining the challenge in today’s automotive aftermarket: the need for specialization.

The End of the Generalist Era
- Modern vehicles are too complex for the “all makes, all models, all repairs” approach. Marconi shared that when he tried doing everything—from transmission rebuilds to diagnostics—profitability disappeared. The time, training, and tooling required simply didn’t make sense.

Specialization: The Smarter Path Forward
- Like medicine’s cardiologists and neurologists, automotive professionals must focus their expertise. Specialization boosts productivity, profit, and performance while creating better outcomes for customers.

Redefining Professionalism and Language
- Replace “mechanic” or “tech” with “technologist” or “specialist.”

- Use precise titles like “calibration specialist” to build client confidence.

- Adopt “Essential Skilled Occupation (ESO)” to better reflect the professionalism of today’s technicians.

Building Career Paths and Attracting Talent
- Specialization creates clear career pathways and helps combat the technician shortage, offering young people a profitable, purpose-driven alternative to a four-year degree.

					<description><![CDATA[Scott Brown shares his insights on key challenges in the automotive aftermarket, including ADAS, EV maintenance, and industry adoption.

ADAS Calibration and Liability
Scott emphasizes the importance of proper ADAS calibration, required by manufacturers after certain repairs. Skipping it exposes shops to liability, and he advises refusing jobs if required calibration is declined. Despite its necessity, the industry adoption is low.

EV Tooling and Safety
While basic shop tools suffice for many EV services, high-voltage work demands safety training and PPE. 

Looking Forward
Using his aviator metaphor of “runway,” Scott stresses that shops must evolve, specializing in ADAS and EV maintenance to stay competitive as EVs become the future of mobility.

Scott’s insights make one thing clear: the automotive industry is changing fast, and shops that embrace ADAS and EV expertise now will be the ones leading the market tomorrow. Staying informed, trained, and prepared isn’t just smart—it’s essential for long-term success.

					<description><![CDATA[This episode focuses on a SWOT analysis, examining the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that will shape the automotive industry over the next three to five years. Panelists highlight key strengths, such as the industry’s resilience and the aging vehicle fleet, alongside critical weaknesses like the shortage of experienced staff and trainers. Opportunities explored include EV and hybrid servicing, as well as the growing demand for technical educators, while threats encompass supply chain challenges, OEM influence, and internal industry conflicts. The conversation also underscores the importance of framing automotive work as a skilled career rather than a trade, along with the need for succession planning and mentorship within shops.

		<title>2025 Voice of the Technician Survey: Addressing Industry Pain Points [RR 1058]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[What does the future of the automotive repair profession look like through the eyes of technicians themselves? Jay Goninan unpacks Wrenchway’s annual Voice of Technician survey with 4,700+ responses, revealing a concerning drop in satisfaction, but also a roadmap for improvement.

Key Insights:

Technician Sentiment: 50% wouldn’t recommend their shop, with negativity dominating social media.
Career Development: Technicians want visible growth paths, certifications, and new specialized roles like ADAS or EV diagnostics.
Compensation: Pay remains the top frustration. Shops need profitability strategies and flexible pay plans (61% prefer hourly/salary with bonus).
Culture &#038; Tools: Proper equipment, work-life balance, and intentional team-building are critical to retention.
Professionalism: Shifting language from “mechanic” to “specialist/technologist” elevates the industry’s perception.
Leadership &#038; Communication: Shop owners must ask “why,” listen to technicians, and implement meaningful change.
Download: https://wrenchway.com/resources/2025-voice-of-technician/#download-report

This isn’t just about attracting new talent; it’s about creating workplaces where technicians feel valued, respected, and see a future in the industry.

					<description><![CDATA[In this episode, we’re flipping the script on how we prepare the next wave of talent in the auto repair world. 

It’s not just “training” anymore – The future of our industry needs more than just teaching people how to turn wrenches. It’s about real education that prepares them to think, solve, and lead.

The repair bay of tomorrow – Imagine clean, high-tech “surgical rooms” with white lab coats, big screens, and smart tools—where cars are diagnosed like patients.

Let’s make this career sexy – To attract today’s tech-savvy, digital-native crowd, we’ve got to show them this is a career filled with innovation, tech, and opportunity.

Soft skills are a big deal – Communication, confidence, and life skills are just as important as technical know-how. 

Training isn’t cheap, and that’s okay – One expert says shops should spend $3,000 to $5,000 a month on education. Yep, even the small ones. Because falling behind costs more.

Leaders: don’t gatekeep – Share your tips, be open to different learning styles, and remember that even the small stuff you know can make a huge difference to someone starting out.

					<description><![CDATA[Camp D.R.I.V.E., (Determination, Resourcefulness, Vision, Enthusiasm) created by Weston and Tenise Chapman of Black Hills Tire, is a powerful hands-on initiative that introduces kids aged 12–15 to the world of automotive technology. Now in its third year, this two-day experience puts young participants in the driver’s seat—changing tires, doing oil changes, welding, and more—across interactive stations. Camp D.R.I.V.E. is changing perceptions about the industry by showcasing its technical, creative, and rewarding sides. The conversation also explores the program’s community impact and offers practical tips for other shops looking to launch something similar, including how to manage costs, secure insurance, and collaborate with local partners.
