Welcome to Dealer War Room from Car Dealership Guy, where we sit down with top operators to break down how they're navigating the biggest challenges in auto retail.
These three rural store owners share the specific moves working right now: Scott Simons bought a Chevy store for $6.9M and tripled sales & fixed ops in under a year.
Rob Ruth built a street-sourcing machine buying 300 cars/month from consumers at a 7% cost advantage over auction.
Kyle Coleman launched a $59.99 oil change, driving a 20% jump in customer-paid service visits in 30 days while the industry shrank.
Three models, three playbooks, built for today’s market.
