Single Store Generalist Shops | Why the Era is Coming to an End with Cole Strandberg

For this episode, our Host Cole Strandberg outlines the seismic shifts disrupting the collision repair industry. The single-store generalist shop, capable of repairing every type of vehicle, is quickly becoming unsustainable. Increasing vehicle complexity, equipment costs, and training demands are forcing shop owners to rethink their strategies. Cole walks us through three paths forward: specialize, scale, or sell. Each option offers opportunities and challenges, but doing nothing is no longer an option. We hope you enjoy the show.
