Joining us for this episode is Leanne Jefferies, Vice President of Strategic Accounts at OEC. Leanne has been on the front lines of OEM certification for years and brings a unique perspective on how shops can not only achieve certification—but truly leverage it as a strategic business advantage.

We'll talk about how certifications have expanded from luxury-only to mainstream, how they're adapting for the EV era, what the investment and ROI really look like, and how certified shops can better serve consumers, insurers, and their own teams.
