🎙️ Podcast Show Notes:
Knowledge isn’t just power—it’s survival in today’s collision repair world.
 In this weeks’ episode, I share lessons from decades serving this industry, and my recent experience at the Tennessee Collision Repairers Association “Music City Conference”. The core message? Continuous education isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of safe repairs, thriving businesses, and long-term success.
Our industry is evolving at breakneck speed. ADAS systems, EVs, and OEM-mandated repair procedures are rewriting the playbook every year. Falling behind isn’t just about lost efficiency—it can mean liability, lost business, or even life-and-death consequences. The $42 million John Eagle Honda lawsuit is a stark reminder of how costly “doing it the old way” can be.
But here’s the flip side: investing in education—both for yourself and your employees—pays dividends beyond the shop floor. When owners commit to their own growth, they set the tone for the entire team. When technicians attend training events, they don’t just return with new skills; they return re-energized, motivated, and proud to apply what they’ve learned. The result? Better repairs, higher morale, and a shop culture that attracts and retains top talent.
Key Takeaways
✅ Continuous education is survival — ADAS, EVs, and OEM repair procedures are changing faster than ever, and staying current is non-negotiable.
✅ Investing in your team pays off — Training opportunities not only sharpen skills but reignite pride, passion, and loyalty.
✅ Leaders set the tone — When owners prioritize their own growth, they inspire their employees to do the same.
As Henry Ford said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” Whether you’ve been in this business for 5 years or 50, the moment you think you’ve seen it all is the moment you fall behind. Because in this industry—and in life—the learning never stops.
