"It's 10 times harder than it's portrayed on social media."

This week on Wrench Turners Podcast,

Entrepreneur and owner of Vehicle Reman

Jonathan Carr

https://www.vehiclereman.com/

We cover topics such as entrepreneurship, the benefits of vehicle remanufacturing, the importance of repair and remanufacturing in the automotive industry, urban development, property appreciation, the importance of communication between technicians and service advisors, and the resurgence of the trades.

Jonathan and I also touch on the nostalgia of repairing rather than replacing, the personal motivations behind starting a business, the potential for growth in Automotive Leadership, and success in the industry.

Let’s get into it.
