In this brutally honest episode, Jimmy Purdy and Lola pull no punches as they unpack the real chaos behind the scenes in auto repair — and spoiler alert: it's not the techs or the customers. From the constant battle with unreliable parts suppliers to the identity crisis of techs-turned-owners who'd rather rebuild a transmission than sell an oil change, this conversation is raw, relatable, and ruthlessly insightful. If you've ever wanted to scream at a parts counter or felt like you're running a zoo instead of a business, this one’s for you. Lola also shares the emotional toll of nearly losing everything — her business, her confidence, and her sense of belonging. She opens up about the dark days when she had mentally checked out, pursued other jobs, and even contemplated walking away from the auto industry for good.
