Thanks to our partners, NAPA TRACS and Promotive

Tariffs might sound like a foreign concept—until they hit home. In this episode of Business by the Numbers, Hunt breaks down the real-world impact tariffs can have on your auto repair shop, using a powerful shop-vs-shop analogy to explain rising costs, disappearing jobs, and economic ripple effects. Whether you're in the weeds of part pricing or just trying to make sense of the news, this episode gives you the context you need.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why tariffs are making headlines—and how they could impact part costs in your shop
  • What the “free market” really looks like when safety and environmental regulations aren’t equal
  • The economic chain reaction that can crush local businesses and communities
  • How tariffs influence pricing, profits, and technician availability in the long term
  • A breakdown of how the U.S. tax system evolved from tariffs to income taxes—and why that matters now
