[TIMESTAMP] | First up, Wes Lloyd, Service Director at Stuckey Auto. Last time he was here, he preached culture over everything — now his whole mission comes down to getting "the right people in the right seats." What tipped him off that it was time? And what does a wrong seat actually cost you? He'll tell us.
[TIMESTAMP] | Then Spencer Nicholson, Fixed Operations Director at Stuckey Automotive, joins the conversation to go deeper on how that Stuckey machine actually runs across seven rooftops.
[TIMESTAMP] | Next, Ryan Maher, CEO of BizzyCar. Here's a jaw-dropper: Q1 and Q2 of 2026 each cleared over ten million recalls — putting this year on pace to more than double the first half of last year. What's fueling the surge? And with a million-plus "do-not-drive" advisories out there, is this a crisis... or the biggest opportunity your service drive has seen in years?
[TIMESTAMP] | And Galal Hamdy, Strategic Relationship Leader at Zurich U.S. – Direct Markets. Dealer service revenue hit a record $9.23 million last year — up 33%. So why is the dealer share of service visits quietly sliding? There's a catch buried in those record numbers, and Galal's going to unpack it.
