Episode #1202: Day 2 from Automobility LA at the LA Auto Show, and we host Amit Chandarana, CEO of Curbee to talk about how there are now 16 independent repair shops to every 1 franchise dealership.. Plus, Paul and Kyle get gifts to welcome them to their first West Coast activation.


This episode is brought to you by our Automobility LA Press and Content Partner Curbee, the fastest growing mobile service technology platform for dealerships.


  • Dealers may be facing a bitter reality as new data reveals there are now 16 independent repair shops for every franchised dealership in the U.S.—and that gap is only growing.
    • The 16:1 ratio highlights a major competitive disadvantage for dealerships in service accessibility.
    • With over 300K independent shops and aging vehicles on the road, independents are winning on location, price, and speed.
    • Dealership service appointments are down 6% YoY while consumer expectations around convenience continue rising.
    • Mobile service is emerging as the top solution—dealers offering it see high ROI and retention gains.
    • “The 16 is more than a ratio—it’s a reality check,” says Curbee. “Convenience wins and accessibility is the new loyalty program.”

Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.
