					<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.

					<description><![CDATA[What happens outside the shop doesn’t always stay outside the shop. In this insightful episode, Rena Rennebohm, CEO of Empowered Advisor, and service advisor coach and shop owner Rachel Spencer, explore how personal stress, emotional weight, and leadership awareness directly affect employee performance, confidence, customer communication, and overall shop culture.

From family struggles and financial pressure to burnout and emotional fatigue, today’s automotive professionals carry more than tools into work each day. This conversation reveals why high-performing shops are built not only on process and productivity, but on leaders who understand the human side of performance.

What You’ll Learn

How personal stress impacts sales performance and customer communication
Why technician morale directly affects advisor confidence and trust
The connection between emotional stability and shop productivity
How great leaders identify performance struggles before KPIs decline
Why empathy and accountability must work together
The importance of daily check-ins and emotional awareness
How negativity spreads through shop culture and how leaders can stop it
Why “soft skills” have become essential leadership skills in auto repair

Strong shop culture starts with emotionally aware leadership. When employees feel supported, understood, and valued, communication improves, confidence grows, and performance follows. This episode offers practical insights for shop owners and managers who want to protect team performance, strengthen culture, and lead more effectively in today’s high-pressure auto repair environment.

					<description><![CDATA[Recorded live at the 2026 TST Big Event, host Carm Capriato sits down with shop owners and industry trainers Keith and Liz Perkins for a candid conversation about the evolving future of automotive repair. From the growing demand for private, hands-on training to the dangerous misconceptions surrounding vehicle calibrations, Keith and Liz share hard-earned insights from the front lines of the industry. They also pull back the curtain on how they successfully balance multiple businesses, a family farm, and life as entrepreneurial partners, all while staying deeply committed to technician development and industry advancement.

What You’ll Learn:

Why more shop owners are bringing trainers directly into their facilities for personalized, hands-on education
How the flat-rate pay system can unintentionally discourage accurate diagnostics and proper repairs
The critical importance of vehicle calibrations and why skipping them creates major safety concerns
A real-world story of how Keith and Liz challenged a dealership that failed to properly calibrate a vehicle after repairs

How Keith’s mobile diagnostics team operates as the “Navy SEALs” of the automotive industry, tackling the most complex repair challenges
The productivity systems, AI tools, and organizational habits that Keith and Liz use to manage multiple businesses and family responsibilities
Their perspective on partnership, marriage, and entrepreneurship, including why success is rarely a perfect 50/50 split
Updates from the NASTF board, including a new mobile app designed to simplify D1 security processes


This episode is a powerful reminder that professionalism in the automotive industry extends far beyond fixing vehicles. It requires continuous education, accountability, clear communication, and a commitment to doing the job correctly, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient. Keith and Liz Perkins demonstrate how technical excellence, strong systems, and true partnership can create lasting impact both inside and outside the shop.

		<title>Build Customer Loyalty: Branding, Event Planning, and Community [RR 1088]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[In this episode, Carm Capriotto talks with Lola Schmidt, co-owner of Schmidt’s Auto Care, about how shops can rise above the “ordinary” perception of auto repair through intentional event planning, meaningful community engagement, and a fully integrated branding strategy.

Key Topic Points

Make the Shop an Experience: Auto repair isn’t naturally exciting, so shops must create memorable, in-person experiences that bring customers into the bays and build real connections.
Community Events That Matter: Hosting hands-on events, like Girl Scout badge workshops and “Tiny Tech” days, creates lasting impressions and builds trust far beyond what social media can achieve.
Differentiate with Purpose: Identify what makes your shop unique (4-day workweek, curbside service, in-house specialties, team talents) and turn those into consistent marketing stories.
Branding is Everything: From clean visuals and a great-smelling shop to honest, pressure-free service, every touchpoint contributes to a 360 brand experience.
Elevate the Customer Experience: Replace cheap swag with thoughtful, useful gifts that customers actually value, creating a lasting emotional connection.
Create Memorable First Impressions: A curated “unboxing” experience for new customers sets the tone and reinforces your brand from the very first visit.
Respect the Customer’s Time: Efficiency and convenience are key drivers of loyalty; customers will travel further for a shop that consistently delivers both.

Standing out in today’s automotive industry requires more than great repairs; it demands intentional experiences, clear differentiation, and a commitment to making every customer interaction memorable.

					<description><![CDATA[In this episode, Melissa Parker, Amy Bartel, and Sara Abrecht join Carm Capriotto to discuss why women are the automotive industry’s “secret weapon.” The panel explores the concept of automotive hospitality, focusing on relationships, empathy, and customer experience as key drivers of trust, loyalty, and profitability.

They share how hospitality driven environments, strong listening skills, and hiring from service focused industries elevate the customer experience and strengthen shop performance. Sara also reveals data showing female-led shops achieve higher average repair orders, highlighting the business impact of communication and relationship building.

The conversation challenges outdated industry perceptions and calls for a shift toward hospitality centered operations, encouraging shop owners to embrace these principles and inspiring more women to pursue leadership roles in this evolving, people first profession.

		<title>Building a Foundation to Prevent Employee Turnover [THA 461]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Craig Noel, Nicole Bennecoff, and Brad Updegraff share actionable strategies for reducing turnover and creating workplaces where employees genuinely want to stay. Their discussion focuses on hiring for culture, adapting to generational expectations around flexibility, and investing personally in the people who make the business run.

Turnover Prevention Starts in the Interview

Preventing turnover begins long before a new hire steps into the shop. The panel emphasized hiring for culture above all—seeking candidates who align with the organization’s values and want to contribute to its long-term success.

Key hiring insights:

Culture Fit Over Experience: Skills can be taught; mindset cannot.

Process Buy-In: Especially with experienced technicians, owners must clearly communicate that systems are established and expected to be followed. A growth mindset is crucial.

Onboarding &#038; Accountability: Culture discussions start on day one. Many shops rely on a 30–60 day check-in period and a 90-day probation window to evaluate behavior, process adoption, and overall fit.

Retention Is Personal

Retention isn’t one-size-fits-all. Owners must prioritize people and culture over production, recognizing that different employees are motivated by different things.

Personalized retention strategies:

Emotional &#038; Financial Support: Small gestures—like a quick text of appreciation or helping a young technician with a bill—can make a big difference.

Flexibility &#038; Work-Life Balance: Today’s workforce highly values family and personal time. Supporting employees during life moments becomes part of the shop’s culture.

The Collective Mindset: Including employees in the shop’s vision builds loyalty. Asking why they stay—or what might cause them to leave—helps uncover individual needs.

Meaningful recognition practices:

Use the Language of Careers: Refer to the industry as a career, not just a job or trade.

Badges of Honor: Display certifications, achievements, and bios where customers can see them, reinforcing pride and professionalism.

Internal Recognition Systems: Performance teams, quarterly newsletters, and other internal celebrations highlight personal and professional wins.

Managing Departures With Grace

Not all turnover is negative. The panel stressed that when separations happen, they should be handled with empathy, effort, and transparency.

Remaining staff notice—and appreciate—when leadership goes above and beyond before making a final decision.

Often, those who leave for “greener pastures” return, recognizing the strength of the original culture.

Preventing turnover means recognizing that every employee is a unique engine with distinct needs and motivations. The owner becomes the “maestro,” creating a workplace where communication is open, recognition is part of daily life, expectations are clear, and culture serves as the foundation.

A strong culture doesn’t just retain people—it grows them.

<p data-start="56" data-end="390">Craig Noel, Nicole Bennecoff, and Brad Updegraff share actionable strategies for reducing turnover and creating workplaces where employees genuinely want to stay. Their discussion focuses on hiring for culture, adapting to generational expectations around flexibility, and investing personally in the people who make the business run.</p>
<p data-start="392" data-end="443"><strong data-start="396" data-end="443">Turnover Prevention Starts in the Interview</strong></p>
<p data-start="444" data-end="673">Preventing turnover begins long before a new hire steps into the shop. The panel emphasized hiring for culture above all—seeking candidates who align with the organization’s values and want to contribute to its long-term success.</p>
<p data-start="675" data-end="699"><strong data-start="675" data-end="699">Key hiring insights:</strong></p>

<p data-start="777" data-end="958"><strong data-start="777" data-end="796">Process Buy-In:</strong> Especially with experienced technicians, owners must clearly communicate that systems are established and expected to be followed. A growth mindset is crucial.</p>

<p data-start="961" data-end="1165"><strong data-start="961" data-end="993">Onboarding &amp; Accountability:</strong> Culture discussions start on day one. Many shops rely on a 30–60 day check-in period and a 90-day probation window to evaluate behavior, process adoption, and overall fit.</p>

</ul>
<p data-start="1167" data-end="1196"><strong data-start="1171" data-end="1196">Retention Is Personal</strong></p>
<p data-start="1197" data-end="1362">Retention isn’t one-size-fits-all. Owners must prioritize people and culture over production, recognizing that different employees are motivated by different things.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[David Boyes, CEO of Today’s Class, and Lola Schmidt, Schmidt Auto Care, explore how short, personalized, and gamified training is transforming team development in the automotive industry.

The discussion centers on how Today’s Class delivers 3–5 minute, mobile-friendly training sessions that fit seamlessly into daily shop routines, often completed right after morning huddles. This consistent “daily drip” of learning minimizes workflow disruption while fostering a culture of continuous growth.

Gamification drives engagement through points, badges, and friendly competition, sparking team conversations and collaboration. Shops like Schmidt Auto Care have seen measurable improvements in technical knowledge, such as increased proficiency in brake systems, wheel alignment, and HVAC performance.

Lola shares how her team’s enthusiasm for competition has built deeper learning habits, while David explains how the platform’s data-driven insights help shop leaders identify knowledge gaps, coach effectively, and make smarter business decisions from equipment investments to targeted, hands-on training.

The takeaway: Small, consistent, and data-informed training can create powerful results, driving engagement, improving technical skills, and strengthening both team and business performance.

		<title>Feelings Don’t Fix Cars: Action Over Emotion in Shop Leadership [RR 1063]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Tonnika Haynes, owner of Brown’s Automotive in Chapel Hill, North Carolina—a family business founded by her father, William Brown, in 1980—joins us for a conversation recorded live at the ASTA Conference in Raleigh, NC. Together, we explore the powerful and defining mentorship that shaped both her leadership and her legacy.

Tonnika shares that she never worked for her “dad,” she worked for William Brown, the business leader. That separation became clear when, early in her ownership, she faced her first major crisis: losing a key employee.

When she called her father for guidance, it wasn’t “Dad” who picked up; it was William Brown. His advice was blunt but transformative. Instead of sympathy, he challenged her: “What would you do if they got hit by a bus?  You can’t sit in it, move forward.”

It was a defining moment that taught her the importance of separating emotion from action. As William often reminded her:

“We don’t have time for feelings right now. We have time for fact and action.”
“Feelings don’t fix cars. Facts and movement fix cars.”

This heartfelt episode highlights the power of tough love, mentorship, and maintaining emotional discipline in business. Tonnika's story is a testament to how strong roots and even stronger lessons can prepare the next generation to lead with both heart and backbone.

					<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.

					<description><![CDATA[This episode features Brakes for Breasts co-founders Leigh Anne Best and Laura Frank, along with Cleveland Clinic researcher Dr. Justin Johnson, as they celebrate the automotive industry’s role in raising over $2 million for breast cancer vaccine research. They share the initiative’s grassroots beginnings, its 100% donation to research model, and provide an update on the vaccine’s progress, highlighting the completion of Phase One trials and the upcoming launch of Phase Two.

A key highlight of the campaign: During October, independent auto repair shops across the U.S. offer free brake pads to customers. For every brake service performed, the customer receives their brake pads at no cost and only pays for labor and other parts. In turn, each participating shop donates 10% of the brake service total to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund.

The episode also shares the inspiring story of Jennifer Davis, the first vaccine recipient, and encourages more shops to get involved in this unique, community driven fundraising effort that’s helping fuel groundbreaking research

WIN provides a dedicated networking platform and distinctive “bolt bracelets” to cultivate connections and community. The discussion explores the unique challenges women face in the male-dominated automotive industry, emphasizing the value of mentorship, training, and representation. WIN also aims to inspire the next generation, supporting recruitment efforts and promoting diversity across the industry. With a focus on professional growth, personal development, and work-life balance, the program aspires to help women learn, lead, and thrive.</p>
