					<description><![CDATA[What if the phone is ringing, but your team is unknowingly turning customers away?

David Boyd, owner of Call Inbound, and Rich Oppitz, Director of Operations at Telle Tire, overseeing 95 stores, explore how call recording and AI analysis can uncover missed opportunities at the service counter and turn everyday customer conversations into powerful coaching moments.

The challenge isn't always getting the phone to ring. It's understanding what happens after someone answers it.

Rich shares how Telle Tire discovered that service advisors weren't intentionally turning business away, but their language sometimes communicated “no” without actually saying the word. By establishing clear expectations, analyzing calls, and consistently coaching the team, their appointment capture score improved from approximately 58% to 72% in just three to four months. 

What You’ll Learn

Why a car count problem may actually be a call conversion problem
How service advisors can unintentionally communicate “no” by focusing on what the shop can't do
Why communicating what you CAN do can change the customer conversation
How AI analysis can uncover coaching opportunities across thousands of calls
Why expectations need to be established before calls are graded
How “Champion Calls” and “Coachable Calls” create continuous learning
Why call reviews should be positioned as coaching, not punishment
How self-assessment can help service advisors recognize their own opportunities for improvement
Why empathy, courtesy, personalization, patience, tone, and follow-up matter to the customer experience
How a focused call review can become a valuable coaching conversation in only 5 to 7 minutes 

Don't just record the call. Learn from it.

Call recordings give shop leaders the opportunity to replace assumptions with actual conversations. When those conversations become part of consistent coaching, the goal isn't to catch someone doing something wrong. It's to help the team communicate better, ask for the appointment, improve the customer experience, and convert more of the opportunities already coming into the shop.

Before spending more money making the phone ring, listen to what happens when it does.

		<title>Stop Losing Price Shoppers: Give Them a Price Range [RR 1111]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[What if the customer calling for a price isn’t someone to avoid, but an opportunity your shop has been trained to turn away?

Brian Walden, COO and co-founder of Mango Automotive, challenges one of the automotive repair industry’s longest-standing practices: don’t give prices over the phone.

Instead of putting up the familiar wall of, “We can’t give you a price until we see the vehicle,” Brian’s team does something different. They give the customer a price range, explain that the vehicle still needs to be inspected and the problem confirmed, and invite them into the shop.

The result? Brian says Mango Automotive doubled its phone conversion rate.

Today’s customers have access to more information than ever. They may have already searched the symptoms, pulled a trouble code, asked AI what might be wrong, and researched what the repair could cost before they ever call your shop. Rather than dismissing that research, Brian believes shops can meet customers where they are and use transparency to build trust.

What You’ll Learn

Why the traditional “we don’t give prices over the phone” response can create an immediate barrier
How Mango Automotive uses AI to generate price ranges in seconds
Why the word “range” changes the conversation with a price shopper
How to give a price range without promising an exact repair price before inspecting the vehicle

How meeting customers in their “comfort zone” can build trust
Why Mango Automotive’s phone conversion rate doubled after changing its pricing strategy
How price ranges can give service advisors more confidence on the phone
Why every incoming phone call should be viewed as a valuable opportunity
How AI call analysis, transcripts, dashboards, and weekly coaching help improve advisor performance
Why Brian views AI as a “flashlight” that exposes where your strategy and communication are breaking down

The bigger lesson goes beyond pricing: don’t waste the opportunities already calling your shop. Every phone call represents marketing dollars already spent, a potential relationship, and potentially an entire repair order. Instead of building another wall between the customer and your business, ask whether there is a better way to help them take the next step.

					<description><![CDATA[What if the best time to recruit your next technician is when your shop isn't looking to hire?

Lisa Coyle, CEO of Promotive, and Sam Freeman, Partner Manager at Promotive, reveal why automotive recruiting has a cycle, and why understanding when technicians are looking can give shop owners a significant advantage. Lisa and Sam explain how recruiting data, market timing, candidate behavior, and consistent relationship-building can create a much more proactive hiring strategy.

What You'll Learn

Why technician recruiting has a cycle and why timing matters.
Why “post and pray” recruiting puts your shop at a disadvantage.
Why finding a top technician can take 60 to 70 days.
How local market data can improve your job postings.
Why you should recruit even when you don't have an opening.
What may really be behind candidate ghosting.
Why a counter-offer doesn't have to end the relationship.
How consistent communication can prevent first-day no-shows.
Why complicated hiring processes can cost you great candidates.
How the F.O.R.D. method can make interviews more personal and effective.

Great recruiting is about timing, data, and relationships. Don't wait for an empty bay to discover you need a recruiting strategy. Understand when technicians are most likely to consider a move, know what candidates in your market are searching for, simplify your hiring process, and stay connected with good people even when the timing isn't right. Your next great technician may not be looking when you're ready to hire. The opportunity is to build the relationship when they're ready to listen.

					<description><![CDATA[What's holding your shop back: your competition or your leadership?

Bill Haas of Auto Ignite Management joins Carm Capriotto to challenge shop owners to rethink leadership, accountability, and the value of their expertise. Anchored by his mantra, "If you're not on your way, you're in the way," Bill discusses how complacency, avoiding difficult decisions, and failing to lead with intention can limit a shop's success. He also shares why building a profitable, employee-focused business is essential for attracting top talent today and creating a business worth selling tomorrow.

What You'll Learn

Why "specialist" better reflects today's automotive professionals.
How shop owners can become the biggest obstacle to business growth.
Why accountability is the foundation of strong leadership.
How data leads to better financial and operational decisions.
What creates a healthy, profitable shop culture.
Why investing in employees increases your shop's long-term value.

The most successful shops are led by owners who embrace accountability, value their team's expertise, and continually invest in their people and culture. Build a business employees want to join, customers trust, and future buyers will want to own.

<p class="isSelectedEnd">What&#8217;s holding your shop back: your competition or your leadership?</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Bill Haas of Auto Ignite Management joins Carm Capriotto to challenge shop owners to rethink leadership, accountability, and the value of their expertise. Anchored by his mantra, <strong>&#8220;If you&#8217;re not on your way, you&#8217;re in the way,&#8221;</strong> Bill discusses how complacency, avoiding difficult decisions, and failing to lead with intention can limit a shop&#8217;s success. He also shares why building a profitable, employee-focused business is essential for attracting top talent today and creating a business worth selling tomorrow.</p>
<p>What You&#8217;ll Learn</p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li>Why &#8220;specialist&#8221; better reflects today&#8217;s automotive professionals.</li>
<li>How shop owners can become the biggest obstacle to business growth.</li>
<li>Why accountability is the foundation of strong leadership.</li>
<li>How data leads to better financial and operational decisions.</li>
<li>What creates a healthy, profitable shop culture.</li>
<li>Why investing in employees increases your shop&#8217;s long-term value.</li>
</ul>
<p>The most successful shops are led by owners who embrace accountability, value their team&#8217;s expertise, and continually invest in their people and culture. Build a business employees want to join, customers trust, and future buyers will want to own.</p>

		<title>Deferred Work: The Most Overlooked Growth Opportunity in Auto Repair [RR 1101]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Most auto repair shops are sitting on a goldmine of untapped revenue without realizing it.

In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes Jimmy Alauria of 3A Automotive &#038; Diesel Repair to discuss how deferred work can become one of your shop's most effective growth strategies. By pulling just two years of data from his shop's database, he discovered $3.3 million in potential revenue from deferred services. From better customer communication to smarter follow-up systems, Jimmy explains how to turn yesterday's declined repairs into tomorrow's repair orders.

What You'll Learn

Why your customer database is one of your shop's most valuable assets.
How deferred work can create significant new revenue without increasing car count.
Why shops should schedule the next appointment before the customer leaves.
While DVIs provide excellent transparency, their primary goal should be to educate the customer and help them plan, rather than to force an immediate $5,000 repair order. Jimmy notes that customers decline work not necessarily because they lack trust, but because they need time to budge
How categorizing repairs by safety, reliability, maintenance, and appearance improves customer understanding.
Understanding the customer's personal "car goals," whether they love the car and want to avoid a new car payment, or they hate the car and want to trade it in, is also critical to framing recommendations effectively.
The shortcomings of traditional CRM follow-up systems and how AI can improve communication.
How AI helps prioritize repairs and translates technical repair language into customer-friendly messaging that drives response.

Deferred work isn't lost business; it's future opportunity. By building better follow-up processes, educating customers, and using technology to communicate more effectively, shops can strengthen relationships, improve customer retention, and unlock substantial revenue already waiting in their database.

		<title>Selling to the Curb: How AI Turned More Calls into Customers [RR 1099]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[What does it take to build one of the fastest-growing auto repair businesses while leveraging artificial intelligence to improve performance at every level?

In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes Jesse Jackson, Founder and CEO of Mango Automotive, to discuss how she scaled from zero to eight locations in less than five years. Jesse shares the leadership lessons learned through rapid growth, how custom AI tools are helping improve customer experience and operational consistency, and why she believes it's time to rethink how independent shop owners plan their exit from the industry.

What You'll Learn

How Mango Automotive expanded from a startup to eight locations through strategic acquisitions.
The leadership challenges that come with rapid growth and why building a corporate support team became essential.
The three cultural principles that drive employee engagement: never yell, bonus well, and have fun.
How AI is being used to measure standard operating procedures and improve accountability.
Why analyzing phone conversations with AI helps advisors convert more callers into customers.
How providing realistic price ranges over the phone can improve appointment conversion rates.
How AI-driven follow-up processes dramatically increased maintenance rebooking rates.
Practical ways any shop owner can use tools like ChatGPT or Claude to evaluate service advisor performance without spending hours reviewing phone calls.
Why thousands of shop owners approaching retirement may be leaving significant business value on the table.
How Jesse's cooperative exit model could help independent shop owners achieve substantially higher business valuations than traditional private equity acquisitions.

Artificial intelligence isn't replacing great leadership; it's making great operators even better.

<p class="isSelectedEnd">What does it take to build one of the fastest-growing auto repair businesses while leveraging artificial intelligence to improve performance at every level?</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes Jesse Jackson, Founder and CEO of Mango Automotive, to discuss how she scaled from zero to eight locations in less than five years. Jesse shares the leadership lessons learned through rapid growth, how custom AI tools are helping improve customer experience and operational consistency, and why she believes it&#8217;s time to rethink how independent shop owners plan their exit from the industry.</p>

		<title>Building a Winning Scoreboard For Your Auto Repair Shop [RR 1098]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[What if your shop operated like a championship team, where everyone knew the score and was motivated to win together?

Gerry Frank, business coach and former shop owner of 35 years, joins Carm Capriotto to explain how gamification can transform an auto repair business by increasing profitability, accountability, and employee engagement. Rather than relying on pressure or incentives alone, Gerry shares a practical system that turns daily performance into a shared game built around visibility, ownership, and teamwork.

What You'll Learn

Why diagnosing the real business problem is more important than applying quick fixes.
How visible scoreboards create accountability and keep the entire team focused on shared goals.
Why technicians and service advisors should update their own scores instead of management.
Which key performance indicators matter most, including car count, billable hours, margins, and hours presented.

Why aligning the front and back of the shop creates stronger teamwork and better customer outcomes.
How storytelling helps employees understand the importance behind the numbers.
A leadership approach that improves performance by focusing on results instead of criticizing people.

Gamification isn't about making work feel like a game, it's about giving every employee clear goals, measurable results, and ownership of their performance. When leaders diagnose problems correctly, track meaningful metrics, and connect the numbers to a larger purpose, they create a culture where accountability, engagement, and profitability naturally grow.

					<description><![CDATA[How are automotive technicians learning today, and who is investing in their future?

Matt Shepanek, President of the ASE Training Managers Council (ATMC), discusses the findings of the 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey. The survey offers valuable insight into technician education, training preferences, emerging technologies, and the industry's commitment to continuous learning.

The conversation highlights significant differences between dealerships and independent repair shops, reveals what technicians most want to learn, and reinforces why ongoing professional development remains essential in an era of rapidly advancing vehicle technology.

What You'll Learn

How dealerships continue to lead the way in training investment, paying for technician education 85% of the time, while many independent technicians still share the cost or pay out of pocket.
Why Hybrid/EV systems and Electrical/Electronics training top the list of requested subjects as vehicle technology continues to evolve.
What the survey reveals about technician learning preferences and why hands-on, instructor-led training remains the gold standard despite the growth of online education.
The wide gap in annual training hours, from technicians receiving no structured education to others completing more than 56 hours each year.
Why continuous learning has become a business necessity, not an option, for shops hoping to remain competitive and profitable.

The 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey reinforces a simple truth: the future belongs to technicians and shops that embrace lifelong learning. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on advanced electrical systems, software, hybrid technology, and diagnostics, professional development is no longer a luxury. Shops that invest in training, provide access to relevant education, and foster a culture of continuous improvement will be better positioned to attract talent, improve performance, and thrive in a rapidly changing automotive landscape.

					<description><![CDATA[What happens when artificial intelligence meets world-class customer hospitality?

In this episode of Remarkable Results Radio, host Carm Capriotto welcomes Mike DelaCruz, CEO of Overdryve Marketing, and Michelle Tansey, co-founder of Euro Clinic, for a forward-thinking discussion on how auto repair shops can use AI, data, and intentional customer experiences to build stronger businesses.

From using AI as a strategic business assistant to creating a luxury-level customer journey that rivals brands like Ritz-Carlton and Nordstrom, Mike and Michelle share practical insights on what separates average shops from elite operations. They explain how predictive marketing, operational excellence, and deeply embedded core values can transform customer retention and long-term profitability.

What You'll Learn

How AI can serve as your shop's "big brain" to improve decision-making and uncover blind spots.

How predictive marketing can forecast car count, identify customer churn, and improve campaign performance.
The concept of the "NASA Shop" and what elite automotive operations do differently.

How Euro Clinic creates unforgettable customer experiences through personalized hospitality.
The importance of building systems and processes around your shop's core values.
Why strong operations must come before marketing success.
How small communication changes can dramatically improve customer trust and confidence.
The role data plays in making better business decisions and reducing emotional guesswork.

The future belongs to shops that combine technology with humanity. AI can provide unprecedented insight into customer behavior and business performance, but lasting success still comes from exceptional service, consistent operations, and a culture built around caring for people. The shops that embrace both innovation and hospitality will be the ones that stand out, retain customers, and thrive in the years ahead.

		<title>From Guesswork to Process: Modern Diagnostic Strategies for Auto Repair Shops [RR 1093]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at the 2026 TST Big Event, Carm Capriotto sits down with automotive trainer Ken Zanders to discuss the importance of ongoing technical education, building efficient diagnostic processes, and adapting to rapidly evolving vehicle technology. Ken explains why too many shops still rely on a chaotic “grocery list” approach to repairs and how a structured diagnostic strategy can dramatically improve technician efficiency, profitability, and customer trust.

What You’ll Learn

Why inefficient diagnostic habits directly reduce technician productivity, shop profitability, and overall earning potential.
The importance of following a structured diagnostic workflow instead of guessing and replacing parts.
How electronic relative compression testing with a lab scope and amperage probe can reduce diagnostic time from hours to minutes.
How modern vehicle technologies like GM’s Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates are changing diagnostics and repair procedures.
Why continuous education is no longer optional for automotive professionals working on today’s advanced vehicle systems.

The biggest takeaway from this episode is that repair shops cannot afford to operate in constant chaos and guesswork. A reactive “grocery list” approach to diagnostics leads to wasted time, unnecessary parts replacement, lower profits, and poor customer outcomes. To succeed in today’s increasingly complex automotive industry, shop owners must create a year-round training strategy that helps technicians diagnose efficiently, think critically, and continuously improve their skills. Structured processes, modern testing methods, and ongoing education are no longer advantages; they are necessities for survival and growth.

		<title>The AI-Driven Auto Repair Leader: Using Technology as Your Strategic Thought Partner [RR 1092]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[In this forward-looking conversation, Carm Capriotto and Chris Cloutier, CEO of AutoFlow and owner of three Golden Rule Auto Care locations, explore how artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the automotive repair industry; not as a replacement for people, but as a powerful tool that helps shop owners lead smarter, communicate better, and operate more professionally.

Chris shares firsthand experiences using AI inside both his software company and his repair shops, revealing how the technology can dramatically reduce time spent on leadership and administrative tasks while improving workflow efficiency and customer communication. From refining technician notes to helping build business plans and expansion strategies, AI is becoming what Chris describes as a 'thought partner' for today’s shop owner.

What You’ll Learn:

Why AI should be viewed as a strategic business partner, not a threat to the automotive repair profession
How effective prompting and providing context can dramatically improve AI-generated results
Ways AI can streamline major business tasks such as SBA loan preparation, SWOT analyses, and growth planning
How AI-powered technician note rewrites improve customer communication and strengthen professionalism
Why clear, polished communication acts as a “curtain of professionalism” that builds customer trust
How AI can help bridge language barriers by translating repair orders and inspection results
The risks and humor of “AI versus AI” hiring practices, where both employers and applicants rely heavily on artificial intelligence
Why Chris believes today is the least expensive AI will ever be, and why shop owners should begin learning it now

The biggest takeaway from this episode is simple: AI will not replace highly skilled automotive professionals, but it will absolutely enhance the shops that learn how to use it effectively. From improving efficiency and communication to elevating the image of professionalism, AI offers tremendous advantages for modern repair businesses. However, Carm and Chris emphasize one critical principle throughout the conversation: trust, but verify. Just like quality control in the service bays, AI-generated information should always be reviewed carefully before being shared with customers or used to make important business decisions.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at VISION 2026, host Carm Capriotto is joined by Jeremy Glassco of AppFueled and shop owner Joe Schindler to explore how auto repair shops can better connect technology with customer engagement.

Gladsco introduces the concept of the “App Gap,” explaining that while consumers frequently engage with apps from major brands, auto repair shops struggle with adoption because customers only download apps they trust or see immediate value in. To bridge this gap, he emphasizes delivering clear incentives and meaningful engagement.

A key innovation discussed is “Sidekick Ninja,” a Chrome extension tool that complements the shop’s management system by surfacing real-time customer insights, including communication history, profile data, and available offers, directly within the advisor’s workflow. This integration ensures no missed follow-ups, rebates, or opportunities to enhance the customer experience.

Schindler also highlights strategies to protect shop profitability, including gamifying customer engagement within a shop app. By rewarding users for actions such as adding vehicle details or personal information, shops can gather valuable data while encouraging deeper engagement.

Ultimately, the episode reinforces that when technology is used to enhance, not replace, the human connection, shops can create better experiences, stronger relationships, and more consistent growth.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at VISION 2026, host Carm Capriotto speaks with Evis Husejnovic of NAPA TRACS about how shops can boost profitability and customer service by better using their shop management systems.

Husejnovic highlights that most owners use only 10–15% of their software, often missing key tools for managing operations. NAPA TRACS addresses this with hands-on support, user groups, and daily training.

The conversation also emphasizes a “treatment plan” approach to digital vehicle inspections, helping shops increase revenue through thorough, preventative maintenance rather than higher car counts. While technology has rapidly evolved, Husejnovic reinforces that auto repair remains a relationship-driven, “handshake” business, and shares how NAPA TRACS is helping train future technicians through partnerships with technical schools.

<p data-start="290" data-end="494">Husejnovic highlights that most owners use only 10–15% of their software, often missing key tools for managing operations. NAPA TRACS addresses this with hands-on support, user groups, and daily training.</p>
<p data-start="496" data-end="929" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">The conversation also emphasizes a “treatment plan” approach to digital vehicle inspections, helping shops increase revenue through thorough, preventative maintenance rather than higher car counts. While technology has rapidly evolved, Husejnovic reinforces that auto repair remains a relationship-driven, “handshake” business, and shares how NAPA TRACS is helping train future technicians through partnerships with technical schools.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Host Carm Capriotto dives into the untapped power of Shop Management Systems (SMS) with business coach Dave Schedin and Ben Dexter, National Training Manager at NAPA TRACS. Together, they reveal how two often-overlooked tools, categories and canned jobs, can dramatically improve shop efficiency, consistency, and profitability.

The conversation highlights how a smarter system setup leads to faster workflows, clearer data, and stronger decision-making.

Key Topics Discussed

Unlocking the Power of Categories: Dave Schedin explains the importance of tracking three core labor types: Diagnostic, Preventative Maintenance, and Repair. When categorized correctly, shop owners can pinpoint exactly where time and money are gained—or lost.

Building the “Superhighway” to Faster Estimates: Schedin compares developing Canned Jobs to constructing a freeway: it takes an upfront investment of time, but once built, it enables rapid, efficient estimating. 

Professional Communication: Canned jobs help replace vague descriptions with clear, value-focused explanations. This allows newer advisors to communicate like seasoned professionals while ensuring consistent pricing, messaging, and storytelling across the shop.

Turning Data into Profit: Ben Dexter reinforces the principle of “garbage in, garbage out”: without clean, organized data, shop owners are simply guessing.

By mastering categories and canned jobs, shop owners can turn their management system into a powerful engine for clarity, consistency, and long-term profitability.

					<description><![CDATA[Saim Raza and Tristin Sweeney, co-founders of Shift Automotive, discuss how their AI-powered software is transforming the vehicle service experience. Their platform automates OEM maintenance recommendations and simplifies shop workflows by integrating manufacturer data into professionally formatted, customer-facing reports. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also helps service advisors build trust with consumers and increase average repair orders. While the technology is advanced, their core mission is deeply human: to improve communication and support shops as drivers keep their vehicles longer. The conversation ultimately underscores a move toward more consultative relationships and elevated customer service in the independent auto repair industry.
