SUMMARY:How AI Is Changing Search And What Your Auto Repair Shop Must Do About It
DESCRIPTION:AI is rewriting the rules of search\, and most shop owners don’t even know it’s happening. While your competitors are still trying to “rank” on Google\, AI-powered search is quietly shifting toward recommending shops that look\, sound\, and feel trustworthy\, and only a few are going to make the cut. This class will show you how to be one of them. We’re talking about the kind of visibility that gets you chosen before your customer ever sees a list of links. AI tools like Google’s SGE\, ChatGPT\, and Bing Copilot are deciding which shops to recommend based on signals like reviews\, content\, authority\, and real-world trust. This is your chance to get ahead before the industry catches up. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nWhy AI is changing everything you thought you knew about SEO\nThe trust signals that matter now — and how to build them fast\nHow to get your shop recommended by AI (and not ignored)\nReal-world steps you can take today to future-proof your visibility\nIf you skip this\, your competitors won’t\, and they’ll be the ones getting found\, booked\, and trusted.\n\nThis is the class everyone will wish they took six months from now. Be the shop that’s one step ahead.

SUMMARY:You Need a Tech Now: A 90-Day Hiring Plan for Independent Shops
DESCRIPTION:Most shops don’t have a hiring process. They have a hiring reaction. \nA tech quits. The owner posts on Indeed. Applications trickle in — most unqualified. The few good ones get lost in the shuffle or ghost because nobody followed up fast enough. Weeks turn into months. The empty bay bleeds money. Eventually the owner hires someone out of desperation. Three months later\, they are doing it all over again. \nThis session breaks that cycle. It walks independent shop owners and managers through a simple 90-day hiring system that solves the three problems behind almost every failed hire: not enough applications\, too many unqualified applicants\, and a messy process that loses good candidates before they ever get to an interview. \nAttendees will learn how to generate a steady flow of applications without relying only on job boards\, how to quickly sort qualified candidates from unqualified ones\, and how to run a clean follow-up process that keeps good techs from slipping away. The system is built from eight years of real-world hiring work with over 200 independent repair shops. \nAttendees will leave with a 90-day hiring roadmap\, an applicant filtering guide\, a follow-up script library\, and a workbook they can put to use the same week. This is a hands-on\, tool-based class designed to help shop owners hire faster\, hire better\, and stop losing good candidates to a broken process. \n

SUMMARY:Winning Lifelong Customers®: Stop Chasing Strangers
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from more than 30 years of leadership experience\, including Chick-fil-A\, H-E-B\, and organizations across retail\, banking\, healthcare\, and service industries\, Ed Howie demonstrates how customer retention becomes an operational advantage rather than simply a marketing initiative. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nStop chasing strangers and intentionally grow the customers who already know and trust them.\nCreate clarity around what winning looks like for every employee.\nIncrease customer frequency\, referrals\, and profitability without increasing marketing spend. \nApply the principles of the Wonder of WOOO® (Winning Others Over and Over®) to build stronger customer relationships through intentional leadership and operational consistency.

SUMMARY:Who Drives Who: How Automakers Influence the Aftermarket and Vice Versa
DESCRIPTION:Business decisions by automakers have a downstream influence on the aftermarket. The vehicles they choose to build have a profound influence on aftermarket decisions for parts\, training\, skills and innovation. EVs are a good example. Older EVs are coming out of warranty and entering the aftermarket – even as the market for new model EVs is uncertain.  \nConversely\, the aftermarket also influences the automakers. The aftermarket is often the first to see design or engineering flaws\, which leads them to create better parts. Some of the topics likely to come up in this well-rounded discussion include\, but are not limited to: \n\nSkilled labor shortage  \nRight to repair\nSupply chain disruptions/redundancy\nThe aging car parc\nParts manufacturing and innovation\nTechnology proliferation and training/continuing education
