This week’s key takeaway:

Why would you join a car group like Car Craft?

Episode intro:   

In this episode you will find out how you can enjoy the benefits of being part of a large car group, but retain your autonomy as an independent. 

We welcome Peter McMahon back onto the show to tell us about Car Craft: a group that was built from the bottom up in 1987 by five entrepreneurial business owners in WA and that has now grown exponentially across Australia to now have 117 members.

If there’s one thing you can take from this conversation, it’s that a car group is not just about buying power. There is so much more to it than that. If you want to take your business to the next level, maybe someone like Mahon could be the man to help you?

In this week’s episode you will learn:

• The advantages of being part of a group
• How the cost of running an average collision repair business has increased by 60%
• The challenges of sourcing parts in WA
• How the group grew to be a national entity.
