Educating drivers is the best thing you can do for your auto shop’s reputation and bottom-line. Read ahead to discover why (and how to do it)… Hard sales techniques are overrated. They might help you close one deal, but ask yourself: “Will this customer feel comfortable enough to support my auto shop in the long-term?”…
Driving seems easy enough. After you do it enough, it almost feels automatic! But easy or not, driving should not be taken lightly. All it takes is a brief lapse of concentration. You take a second to answer a text and fail to notice a car change lanes. Boom, you rear-end them… and whose fault…
Will self driving cars cause more harm or good? It’s hard to say for sure. To form an educated opinion, consider these pros and cons of autonomous cars.

Perceive this “code” like a shoe size for your tires, although it’s a bit more complicated since there are more factors at play besides…
