Fixed Ops Focus

Steve Shaw & Dave Rogers

Welcome to the podcast that treats Fixed Operations like the profit powerhouse it actually is – no corporate fluff, no sugar-coating, no 45-minute intros about somebody’s childhood dog. If you’re tired of “best practices” that don’t practice and factory “recommendations” that starve your bottom line, pull up a chair. Dave and Steven are about to tell you how it really is – and exactly how to fix it.

    Episode 62 - The Repair Order Trick Every Top Advisor Uses Pt 2

    In Episode 62 of Fixed Ops Focus, Dave Rogers and I break down what happens when you add additional items to the repair order before the customer ever arrives. A few extra dollars per RO feels small in the moment. Multiply it across every RO, every advisor, every month, for a full year — and it becomes one of the most powerful growth levers in your entire service department.

    Episode 61 - The Repair Order Trick Every Top Advisor Uses

    Episode 51 - The BIGGEST Firing Stories You'll EVER Hear

    Steve Shaw and Dave Rogers crack open one of the most honest — and weirdly hilarious — topics in this business: getting fired. It starts with a friend of Steve’s who just got let go. That one story sends Dave and Steve straight into the Wayback Machine, where they relive the times THEY got fired from the dealership, what those moments taught them, and how they came back stronger. Then they flip the script to the other side of the desk — the associates they’ve had to let go — and the part nobody likes to talk about: what happens to the whole organization when a manager gets fired. It’s raw, it’s funny, and it’s loaded with leadership lessons every dealer, GM, and fixed ops leader needs to hear. Because how you handle a firing — on either side of it — says everything about your culture.

    Episode 56 - TV, TikTok, YouTube — Service Contracts Are EVERYWHERE. Here’s the Dealer Fix

    It seems like everybody and their cousin is selling service contracts — on TV, on YouTube, on TikTok, you name it. These days even the customer can go buy their own. So how is a dealer supposed to handle the flood? Do you charge extra? Add a processing fee? Hire a dedicated extended-warranty expert just to keep up with all the paperwork? This is the discussion no one is having right now — and it’s costing service departments time, money, and CSI.
