  • The Good, The Bad & The Car Scammer
    If a deal is too good to be true, it usually is. Criminals target used car buyers with adverts for cheap used cars. So the conmen try to convince car buyers to pay for the car over the phone. We review here.

  • The Future of Communication w/ Aaron Weiche
    Aaron was considering buying a new boat. He exchanged emails with a local dealership over four days just to get a price quote. Each email wasted time: the whole exchange could have taken 15 minutes over text, but it took 96 hours over email. He didn’t buy that boat. He knew that trying to buy from a small business shouldn’t be a massive effort.

    That snail’s-pace quote inspired him to make communication better through messaging by creating Leadferno, the company bridging the conversational gap, allowing you to text with customers right from your website using a powerful messaging inbox – so your team can increase conversions, close leads faster and delight your customers.

  • Why Dealerships In North America Seems To Struggle
    "When things aren't very good, whether it's a recession or shortage of vehicles or whatever else, we quickly can't make as much money in new and used cars," Godfrey said. "The service department needs to be there to lean on." This is a statement obviously from someone who has only the basic concept of what a 3S dealership is.

    Stan Mirzayev is a serial entrepreneur and a 17-year automotive expert and enthusiast. He is the Founder and CEO of Parts Pass, an auto parts app revolutionizing the way people fix their cars. Stan emigrated to the U.S. from the former Soviet Union with his family at the age of 4, and grew passionate about cars while working with his dad in the family automotive shop.

Stan founded Parts Detect, a B2B shop management app that allows mechanics to efficiently source parts from suppliers. In 2022, Stan founded Parts Pass, an auto parts app serving a mission to democratize and revolutionize the experience of finding and buying replacement auto parts for all consumers across the country.

  • The Ugly Truth Buying An EV
    The rising cost of raw materials is forcing the upward price increase in electric cars. We look at the additional costs involved when making that online purchase. Also how unaffordable it will be for the average consumer outside of that tax bracket to purchase a vehicle that the law did not take them in consideration.
