Customer Reviews
Great podcast .Tons of valuable tips, info and advice
Been in the Business for many years . I’ve learned things that would have ever even crossed my mind . It pushes me to evaluate and reevaluate . Thanks guys ! You don’t know what you don’t know !
Great info!
I’ve owned a BHPH dealership with a full service facility and other lines of business (towing, car rental, mini-storage) for over 12 years and recently found this podcast. I’ve already picked up great info from just a handful of episodes. So often, we feel isolated. Thanks!!
Extremely Informative, Great Production Value, and Amazing Guests
I’m new to the used car/independent dealer industry - this pod has answered many questions and offered much more guidance that I could have ever asked for. The overall quality of information being provided here is likely unmatched! Look forward to being a lifetime subscriber and learning much more!
