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.

This episode isn’t just about fixing cars—it’s about fixing how we grow the people who will shape the future of this industry.
